6/10 Good

pool wasn't heated but was nice and long. The staff missed cleaning our room so we had to go out to get towels. Didn't like the hyper modern black design as the room felt like a cave and you could see anything, especially the light switches.and the lighting designwas very poor and glaring. Very good location for visiting the cbd of auckland.g

6/10 Good

The So Hotel Auckland is in a great location with good access to the city and attractions. Our rating is low because we did not like the open plan layout of the room. I think there should be a door going into the Toilet. The floor to ceiling curtains are very difficult to open and close. We would say it’s a case of “Design over substance “ We were looking forward to experiencing the Top Floor Cocktail Bar but on our first night it was closed for a private function and we were unable to get a cocktail in the lobby bar before going out for dinner.

Easily the best experience we've had in a hotel. The ataff were amazing, our room was continually being cleaned and serviced, even twice a day (we came back one night to the bed remade and chocolates on the pillows). Outstanding quality of room, fascilities and extras in the bathroom. Highly recommend staying here!
