Great time in a pristine, beautiful city!
Pros:

The location was perfect, near restaurants, the sky tower, the cruise terminal, great shopping, the Aukland art museum, the theater district and even a great grocery store .

Cons:

We did not like that our room had no windows - only fake ones.

Great location, beautiful room and excellent service
Pros:

Fantastic location and excellent service. A complimentary sauna was a nice surprise.

Cons:

The TV a little hard to drive - I needed help ( a known problem therefore maybe some better instructions in the room would be useful) The room service meal was delicious, just a little cold and pricing on the high side for what it was.

Pros:

We liked the hotel but would not say it was 5 star. The room was clean and very spacious. The food in cookies restaurant was amazing including the breakfast and staff was very pleasant.

Cons:

The bed was to small and pillow was not good. Very noisey with doors banging all night and very noisey outside. Would not stay again as too noisey for us which is a shame as really liked the hotel

Gran lugar en el centro de Auckland
Pros:

La ubicación era buenísima, junto a los muelles de Auckland. La habitación era amplia y estaba decorada con muchísimo gusto y cuidado hasta el último detalle, muy cómoda tanto la cama como los sillones de la zona de estar

Cons:

Por poner un pero, la climatización, para ser invierno, no funcionaba muy bien, y tardamos un día en ponerla a la temperatura adecuada

Overall quite disappointed.
Pros:

Location and general ambiance was good. Tidy (although very basic) little suite. Excellent bathroom.

Cons:

Smell of air freshener was overwhelming in the lobby, restaurant, and in the room. Left me thinking about toilets and cheap taxis. Made me feel nauseous at times. The bed mattress had a big dip, felt like an old mattress well overdue replacing. Did not sleep well. Outdoor roof garden did not live up to its promise and seemed a forgotten place due for some tlc, which could otherwise be a neat little private escape for hotel guests.
