“SO/ Auckland certainly makes a striking first impression with its bold, contemporary design. The location on Auckland's waterfront places you right in the heart of the action, near the Sky Tower and Viaduct, though reports suggest some inconsistencies in service and upkeep. It seems the hotel needs to ensure the staff and the rooms' conditions match the initial 'wow' factor.”
