Pictursque Sofitel Viaduct
Pros:

The staff was very hospitable and the Hotel had a very classy look. I happened to peak into the Spa and it looks inviting. The parking wasnt an issue and the French Restuarant had some amazing menu along with the freshly baked bread served in a unquie manner.
A must try incase you are out on Viaduct the Hotel had an exclusive walkway wheer we could click memories. I heard some guest talk about the rooms and standrad which surely will be a treat for travellers.

Experience with the Sofitel in Auckland
Pros:

Stayed there for one night and used their valet parking service,
After we got vehicle and left the fist stop we made I found that the right front guard had a big scrape mark
I contacted them the next day after a bout five phone calls i finally talked to the duty manager he said he will investigate there cctv footage.
After approximately 3 weeks of me phoning every couple of days and not getting anywhere I got an email saying that the damage did not happen whilst in there valet system,
When I took our veichle to our local panel he showed me another car he had there he was working on and guess what , it was damaged at the Sofitel whilst being valeted, as you could imagine this made me really happy, all it would have taken was a free nights accommodation to go towards the insurance excess but no they were not interested, so I won’t be staying there again.

I wouldn’t stay here again.
Pros:

Staff were friendly and prompt

Cons:

The room we had was overpriced for what it was and no extras were included. The room facilities were average. Parking was charged on top at $52 extra and for a $650 one night stay, I expected more. Free breakfast would have been nice for the price. The room hardly had a ‘city view’. Still yet to receive my bond back which is hugely frustrating considering. Please follow up on this asap.
