Safe, quiet, view of Marina from outside. Unfortunately not from our room. We had a very bad views. We were told we upgraded to Atrium. Sounds fancy but when we got to our room and opened the curtains to check the view, what we could see were the roof down below and other units and the guests from inside. Hence, we had to always close the curtains so other guests from other units couldn't see us. The breakfast that is cooked to our preference is okay. The free-refill coffee had to be ordered all the time, and it takes a while before you get one. The buffet breakfast is mediocre except the hot food. I love the mushroom. I think it's Bella or Crimini. The breads esp. the sliced loaves are either old and rock hard. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that. Because I'm used to eating soft and fluffy breads. Same with nuts, they are just too hard for me. I'm not sure or maybe it's just me. All I know they took a lot of hard work to bite and chew to swallow. I only tried once and didn't repeat. What I like most of our room is the spacious room and the shower & strong water which is very important to us. Oh the cleaning time is not time pressured. Cleaners do not knock to signal cleaning time. They just wait until unit guests go out before they go inside to clean every room, which is very rare in all my hotel experience. Overall, our experience is fine. We still enjoyed our time while in Auckland.

A so-so property--good location but feels like a mid level change and not like a top flight major city hotel. Breakfast buffet completely ordinary. Again feels like a tour hotel.

We have stayed with you many times for business and pleasure and always find this hotel convenient and a quiet place to stay. We always enjoy the food and spa when we visit. Some standards of cleanliness in the general areas have dropped and if flowers are on show they need to be fresh. Otherwise, we had a very enjoyable stay, thank you.

First, I should like to say I almost NEVER leave reviews. HOWEVER...this hotel deserves a scathing assessment. I have stayed at many Sofitels throughout the world and have always found them to be well-managed and worth the extra expense. That does NOT apply to this hotel. Good luck finding reception. I literally asked the people in reception where it was! They did not bother to o much as greet us let alone help. Apparently no rewards for Expedia Gold First room: Perfectly clean but with completely broken AC and about 85 degrees inside. Asked for a new room and were told maintenance would fix it. Checked 2 hours later and they stated they hadn't heard from maintenance, nor checked on room but it was probably fixed. It was not. Finally asked for a new room. Directed to new room that smelled horrible--like stale cologne, febreeze and carpet cleaner, albeit with working HVAC. Asked for another room still. FInally after schlepping 4 bags and sundry other items we found a room with functional AC that smells like mildew (actually). Decided after 16 hour flight this would have to do. At no point was any remedy offered for any of this. Bottom line: Worst hotel experience I can recall at any higher end stay...and I've stayed in a lot of them. I could NOT have been more disappointed.
