The room itself was clean and nice. Lacked any real views apart from other hotels and apartments.

Told on arrival the sky bar was closed Sunday and Monday so tried to make use of it on the Saturday but was far from a good time. Clearly too busy and understaffed. Most seats reserved outside, felt like we were in the way and settled for two bottles of beer to just get a drink and get out. Poor effort.

Breakfast was one of the better parts and had a great selection and very friendly staff, pool facilities were also great but bad signage to actually be able to find the changing rooms. If you want to use the sauna and have a shower after you’ll be walking back through corridors to shower and come back.

Mostly a good trip but won’t rush to come back.

Chosen because of location great close to #1 stop Hopon Bus.
Restaurant top notch food (gastronomy).
Poor room design as looks great but open space toilet + bed + shower + sink...etc = privacy, odours, and noise issues (one door only for either shower or toilet use
Poor plumbing (shower temp fluctuations)
Light switches a mingle.
Bed realing light great but no instruction on how to shut off (no switch, no sticker how to shut off, had to phone reception to learn how... but great idea once you know)
Poor ventilation (very humid room despite a/c
Overall a good hotel experience despite those improvements required

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.

Outstanding quality of room, fascilities and extras in the bathroom. Highly recommend staying here!

Very nice location in CBD

The hotel itself is very modern. While you may wait for your room go to the pool, sauna and hot tub or the gym downstairs. One odd thing, no house phone to call front desk anywhere on the level. Very nice room, bed was solid and location is good. Rooftop bar overlooking harbor on 16. One pro tip, go to dinner by 8, things close early in this neighborhood.

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

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.

We had issues on our last day at the hotel as the lift broke down. None of the staff had a back up plan. No stairs which is not good encase of a fire 🔥. The breakfast was terrible. Only hot food was the omelet. Had to ask twice for a cup of tea. The room hadn't been cleaned properly as found a lighter and cigarette butt . The bath in the room was amazing. Its a wacky hotel the decor in the lobby cool. The pool and gym amazing. But not worth the stay. Better hotels in Auckland city. To choose from. I was very disappointed in my stay.

Beautiful, yet way too short

We stayed only one night and could not use all the great amenities.
Dinner at the hotel was great. The room was spacious, clean, and very nicely designed.
The hotel had a technical issue which could not be fixed during our stay and affected all rooms.
The management however compensated us in a great and interesting way which was an amazing way to apologize for the inconvenience.
Will we come back? Definitely! We still need to ise the spa, the pool, the gym, and many more amenities.

I wouldn't say it was particularly quiet with loud music from the bars and sirens on a Saturday night, but didn't bother us.
The restaurant food and service was great, but would suggest they lower the lights for more ambiance?

SO Disappointing.

Great location, very cool hotel, and some thoughtful touches like complimentary mini-bar. BUT: curtains closed leaving large gaps, so room was light, not double glazed so lots of road/people noise (2nd floor room), toilet had a sliding door that was shared with the shower, so you could only use one at a time, and the door didn't close fully so no privacy. We had a balcony, which could have been nice, but it was very sad, only had one chair, some dead plants, and nothing really dividing our balcony from the next room.

After booking months ago to go here for our 21st wedding anniversary which we were looking forward to as we have always wanted to stay here , we ended up extremely disappointed .
Before arrival we checked our booking and realised that had we booked on the day it would have cost $1000 less which to us seemed extremely unfair, we voiced our opinion on check in and the manager basically blamed Expedia and told us to suck it up, not sure who to be more disappointed in but we will most definitely never stay here again and feel like we have been scammed by Expedia

It's a lovely hotel, right in the heart of the business district so it's super convenient if you've got business down there like we did. The rooms are comfortable and the staff is friendly. It's not super family friendly, we were there with our baby and so we weren't welcome in certain locations like the rooftop bar (despite the fact that they serve food there so babies are supposed to be allowed. We wanted to have a celebratory drink and enjoy the view) or the pool. I think they're shooting for young singles instead of families so just keep that in mind. Otherwise, it's a lovely hotel.

Unique decor, which was a plus. Loved the large chandelier in the foyer. Comfortable bed and good shower. Very friendly and helpful staff. I didn't give it the full rating, as I couldn't adjust the heating and I was chilly. Fortunately there was a thick towelling robe, as I needed it to stay warm. I turned the heating up to 28C (normally too hot), but the temperature never went above 19C. I have a thermometer. A staff member also was never able to adjust the heating either. Besides that a nice hotel.
The desk could do with a power point multiboard to make it easier to access a place to plug in the laptop.
