There are so many people to thank at this hotel all staff were great. Special thanks to the two guys in the Sofitel Club Lounge (great job). The bed was just how my wife and I like a bed. Cleaning staff did a great job. Breakfast was good. This Sofitel has improved so much since our last visit and that was pretty good this was better. Well done all.

My husband and I stayed here for a night on our honeymoon. The facilities were great, right down to the Dyson hairdryer in the rooms. We had a couple of drinks in the bar which had a great vibe on a Saturday night and dinner at the restaurant. The restaurant food was faultless and we have to mention the staff member looking after us, Paramee. She was so lovely and attentive and while all staff were friendly she was the stand out of our stay. The location is also excellent. An easy walk to two different restaurant/bar precincts along the water. The only minor downside was our room was a little noisy from revellers on a Saturday night. Not all rooms would have this issue though.

Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Hotel is a hotel I keep going back to. Service, comfort and amenities second to none. It's also central so easy walking into town and restaurants in the area. The staff are always so friendly and helpful too - nothing is a problem.

Stayed overnight to take advantage of one of my Accor Suite Night Upgrades. The process of making the booking over the phone (o/s call centre) was incredibly painful and almost put me off going through with it. They really must make online redemption of these nights available. The hotel in its Sofitel branding is relatively new and the common spaces have been refreshed to represent the French influence which is pleasing. The check-in process was very quick, yet warm. The room itself was probably the most generic corporate style of any Sofitel I've stayed at. Nothing worth complaining about, but the Sofitel experience doesn't extend to the rooms. But a comfortable bed and large, clean bathroom were welcomed. We tried to dine at the restaurant but the hotel was full on the night of our stay and had no availability. We were intending to use Accor Plus at dinner, so this was disappointing. We did make good use of the executive lounge for pre-dinner drinks and snacks. One of the better lounges I've experienced. Breakfast was great - good quality and prompt service even on what was a busy Sunday service. We also enjoyed use of the pool and spa. The gym is right in front of the pool with little privacy which is kind of off for both pool and gym users. The only negative experience was at Sabrage Champagne bar - appalling service that gets its own two star review. But overall, a comfortable stay. I probably wouldn't stay again, there are so many downtown options and the Sofitel lacks something to draw you back.…
