The Sofitel is a beautiful property and have amazing staff when they can be found. Few times I tried to reach guest services or reception with no answer. The let downs is the linen on the bed had stains and wasn’t overly clean. The food both in room service and the restaurant was underwhelming and limited. To be honest it was overpriced for what was offered as $52 for a tiny average omelette and a cup of coffee was a bit steep.

BE WARNED Is this the Marsden or the Sofitel???
Strangely there were very few other guests around, and after talking to a fellow guest, who happened to be using the spa, he advised me that the Marsden hotel is leased out and yet is under the same roof as the Sofitel. Interesting as when I arrived , the female greeter asked Marsden or Sofitel are you staying at. Didn’t think anything about it, until I became aware that the Marsden is a fraction of the cost yet the rooms are IDENTICAL. I believe the use of the pool and gym for Marsden guests would cost extra, which explains the lack of use of the indoor pool I guess. Speaking of which, it does have some infrastructure issues, like the panel of the starry lighting fixture totally exposed showing not stars on the ceiling but rather unattractive wiring and fluorescent lighting above the pool. Safety issue?? Despite this, hats off go to the concierge named Karim. His service is wasted at the hotel and should be at a more grander hotel. Despite enough Sofitel stays in the past around the world, stay at the Marsden for the same quality at a fraction of the cost

This hotel is not cheap, and I could smell cigarette smoke in my room. Was not ideal based on this alone. Also I was working, so needed early breakfast. I know buffet breakfast in a hotel is not cheap, but I would like options available at 6am. There was only one breakfast option which was full buffet breakfast. So I went out of the hotel for this.

They double charged my card, promised to fix it immediately and haven’t done anything. And now I have haggle with them on an international call just for their mistake. Small motels and hotels don’t do this - can’t imagine how bad the processes at Sofitel must be. Ruined my whole experience

Not very welcoming for families. When we got off the car the staff even asked if we were in the right hotel. I am pregnant with two kids on a staycation. Many staff won’t say hi unless you’re wearing a suit. The ambience is cold and boring but the facilities are top notch and new. Bathtub in room is great, amenities smells amazing and they’re Balmain. Breakfast is lovely too, but being a French hotel expected their croissants to be better. Service was definitely not what I’ve experienced in five star hotels, but the facilities (indoor pool and indoor jacuzzi!) were great. May be best for couples or business travellers

Checkin was quite slow and the receptionist forgot to give us our key when the room was ready after two reminders. Swimming pool is also quite cold and many other guests said the same. Other than that this is a good hotel serving good food with good staff in the restaurant. Breakfast was also good.

Safe, quiet, view of Marina from outside. Unfortunately not from our room. We had a very bad views. We were told we upgraded to Atrium. Sounds fancy but when we got to our room and opened the curtains to check the view, what we could see were the roof down below and other units and the guests from inside. Hence, we had to always close the curtains so other guests from other units couldn't see us. The breakfast that is cooked to our preference is okay. The free-refill coffee had to be ordered all the time, and it takes a while before you get one. The buffet breakfast is mediocre except the hot food. I love the mushroom. I think it's Bella or Crimini. The breads esp. the sliced loaves are either old and rock hard. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that. Because I'm used to eating soft and fluffy breads. Same with nuts, they are just too hard for me. I'm not sure or maybe it's just me. All I know they took a lot of hard work to bite and chew to swallow. I only tried once and didn't repeat. What I like most of our room is the spacious room and the shower & strong water which is very important to us. Oh the cleaning time is not time pressured. Cleaners do not knock to signal cleaning time. They just wait until unit guests go out before they go inside to clean every room, which is very rare in all my hotel experience. Overall, our experience is fine. We still enjoyed our time while in Auckland.
