« Establishment Phase..... »

This will be a great hotel once completed. Styling is great as dosent feel like a typical chain hotel. I felt staff uniforms were too casual especially the concierge guys. Staff were welcoming and attentive similar to the welcome you get at top resorts but perhaps need to be careful not to “try too hard”. Servicing of rooms and turndown were inconsistent but again probably still settling in. A big bugbear for me was no availability for dining when staying in-house, simply booked out. Cafe section not open yet so only option was go elsewhere. I had one breakfast omelette which was a dry average effort. Would I stay again, YES but probably only one more time to see if things really tighten up after a few months practice.

Dear HayseedSays, Thank you for your review and for recognizing the welcoming and attentive staff. We are still in our early days of opening and I'm guessing it was our excitement coming through, but we'll remind the team to be natural and not try too hard. I'm sorry that Harbour Society was fully booked when you were wanting to dine. We do recommend guests book ahead to ensure they don't miss out. With Michelin starred chef Marc de Passorio at the held, the restaurant is popular and I hope you get to experience his food on your next trip. Feel free to contact me directly and I can ensure you receive a nice table next time. Kind regards, Stephen Gould SO GM Email: Stephen.Gould@accor.com

Friends getaway - 27/11/2018 TripAdvisor review
« Almost there! »

I love the concept of the hotel and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The only thing that let it down was one of the rooms i have booked was covered in dust, we could run our hands over the surfaces and leave a clear mark and be covered in dust and light fittings/ paint was quite noticeably scratched.

Dear megancovell, Thank you for the positive rating on TripAdvisor and for acknowledging the friendly and welcoming staff. You are our first ever post on this forum and I'm sure that you'll see us go from strength to strength in the coming weeks, months and years. Our Neat & Tidy team (Housekeeping) have been working overtime to ensure all surfaces are clean and shiny and I know you'll see that effort shine through the next time you visit. Please drop me a line if you have some travel dates in mind. We'd love to have you back at SO/ Auckland once again. Kind regards from SO, Stephen Gould SO GM
