Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely choose to stay here again.
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at M Social in Auckland, booking the Social King View Loaded room—and it was absolutely worth it. As a big coffee lover, the
"Loaded" option was a real highlight, with free-flowing barista coffee available all day. Such a great touch!

The view from our room on the 11th floor was amazing, overlooking the harbour and creating the perfect backdrop for our stay. The room itself was modern, comfortable, and had everything we needed.
The location couldn't have been better-right on Quay
Street in downtown
Auckland, sitting on the harbour and just steps away from so many great cafes and restaurants.
Everything was so convenient and easy to explore.

So many switches at all walls.
Air conditioners switch us very inconvenient location. I have never seen a switch at such inconvenient location in a room. I do not like internal decoration. It is too modern.
