The stay was disappointing for the price and reputation of the hotel. At night there was a lot of noise on our floor, which staff mentioned was due to flooding issues. There was wind-like gust in the hallway, and our door constantly rattled as if someone was knocking, making it hard to sleep. On top of that, the air-conditioning unit had a very bright blue LED light that stayed on all night, even when switched off, and we had to try covering it to block out the light. While the property is modern, clean, and in a good location with friendly staff, the overall experience was uncomfortable, hopefully I would have a better experience next time

Fantastic hotel, can't fault it. Highly recommend

Excellent modern hotel with great facilities. Handy location near commercial bay restaurants/shops and the viaduct/ferry terminal. The rooms were large, comfortable, modern and clean. Rooftop bar is epic if you want a cocktail and enjoy the harbour views. Long indoor pool, jacuzzi spa, gym and even a sauna was a nice surprise. Would definitely stay here again.

From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed by the lobby staff (concierge and front desk). We were invited to dine for breakfast as our room was being prepared which was a wonderful experience as we had just flew in 17 hours from the US. This was such an unexpected surprise as usually hotel staff would ask you to come back during check in. Our stay was absolutely amazing. From the dining room staff at breakfast each morning to the housekeeping staff who warmly wished us good day each time we passed them. SO Auckland will be very much spoken about to everyone we know who wishes to visit New Zealand.
