Dont take your FAMILY

Anita L 4/21/2024 TripAdvisor review

As a seasoned traveller wth business and family I cannot express my utter disappointment with this hotel.We have travelled extensively across New Zealand with our 11 year old with no issues until this stay. We were staying before a flight home to the UK and planned to meet friends in the roof top bar at about 6pm for champagne before dinner at the restaurant below. We were greeted with children are not allowed in the bar due to the General managers policy. And no other bar was open so why does this hotel take bookings with children if they are not welcome ! We would of spent a lot of money so not economic for the hotel. We are also always looking for hotels for an International sports teams which occupy 40 rooms at a time so this one will definately be off the list. Even the staff I spoke to didnt agree with the policy of the General Manager , so obviously they do not like children. Thankfully I was not on my own or I would had to sit in my room all night after supper.

Always a pleasure

Nic Families - 4/19/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

This was my second stay at The So and it is always an incredible experience. I travelled with my mum who arrived before me. I had called earlier to let them know that she was arriving earlier than me and to allow her to check in. Staff were attentive and efficient as always. We had a late dinner the Harbour Society Restaurant which has stunning views. Restaurant staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable, the food was delicious and an all round great experience. My mum stayed for breakfast the next day which she enjoyed. Check out took a little bit longer because I hadn't supplied my accorcard at the restaurant the night before. The front office manager swiftly sorted this out for us. We absolutely loved our stay so much that I have booked for my mums birthday in June and my anniversary in July. We cannot wait for our next visit.

Dear Ms. Nicole K., we are overjoyed to hear that your second visit was as great as the first and is also an honor that you choose SO/ Auckland for all your special occasions! Please accept our apologies for any delay during the check-out process. We can't wait to welcome you back. Warm regards, Ilaria Receptionist SO/ Auckland

Nice staff for sure but overall very disappointing

Cyndy C. Business - 4/18/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

moved into a room with cobwebs and a fridge that didnt close (and therefore the contents of the fridge went bad) had to ask numerous times for additional towels and mini bar refreshments concierge seemed like very nice people but english as a second language was an issue at times
