Nice hotel, headache reservations
I had a big issue sorting out my reservation with the hotel. After numerous messages emails and calls they finally figured out that the portal wasn’t syncing with the system and finally found my reservation.

5 star hotel
This fabulous hotel is across the road from the Airport SkyDrive shuttle service, which makes it perfect for travellers.
As it’s a fairly new hotel, the rooms are stylish and very well appointed.

Fabulous suite. Bad pillows
My room was fabulous, but the pillows were terrible. They were all identical and way too firm.

Fabulous hotel in every respect. Just a bit surprised there is no body lotion in the bathroom amenities, for a 5 star hotel. Would have considered that to be standard and I had relied on it being there, so didn’t bring my own.

Wonderful room in AKL
Gorgeous room! Really state of the art technology for the lights, do not disturb, and requesting turn down service. Really love the chromecast feature for the tv and the bed feels like you’re sleeping on a cloud. Absolutely enjoyed our stay there.

You’ll like Horizon in Auckland
Good central location in Auckland for dining, entertainment and shopping. Casino across street with elevated enclosed walkway. Good breakfasts, but poor storage space/closets in room.

Excellent!
I love this place! Conveniently located directly across the street from the Central Bus Terminal with SkyDrive bus from the airport. I was greeted with a lovely welcome gift for Lunar New Year. The property is brand new, has a lovely lobby and restaurant lounge. The room was perfect in every way. I didn’t want to leave!!
