The gym is quite small and had one broken treadmill that didn't have a sign so I'm not sure if staff are aware of it. Our rooms didn't include breakfast, but we were excited to try it. We ended up disappointed because the hostess gave us two menus and told us to sit anywhere. There's prices for a la carte and buffet and we opted for the buffet and just went up to get food. A staff member stopped us and asked if we were doing the buffet and then told us she'd bring us the bill so we could sign our room. It felt like maybe a staff member should have brought us to our seat and asked us what we wanted to prevent being stopped at the food counter and having guest and staff play a guessing game. The breakfast selection is mediocre. Another table was sat and the staff member who stopped us was quick to go to their table and explain the menu choices to them so I'm not sure if it's a lack of consistency or if they need more staff during the breakfast shift because it seemed like it was just her and the hostess working. Staff was also slow to clear tables.

Location and views alone are 5-stars. Booked my trip back in December. To gain more airline points,…read moreI booked the hotel through the airline portal. After reviewing the map of the Auckland central business district (CBD) and where the Sky Tower was, I knew I wanted to stay by the harbor, with a view and reasonably priced. That's when I came across M Social Viaduct Harbor. From Google Maps and looking at YouTube videos, the hotel was in the midst of it all. My first encounter with them was a few weeks earlier when I learned that M Socials last check-in time was midnight. Unfortunately, because my flight was schedule to land at 9:45 pm, having to get through customs and waiting for Uber, we'd be cutting it close. So I emailed M Social and they assured me that we could check-in after midnight, no rush since they knew how long customs could take. What a relief. When we got there, a little after 11 pm, I was told our room was upgraded to the 12th floor which is the highest floor. I was told "The harbor view is great up there." And it is!!! All the rooms face the harbor and all rooms have a view!!! The higher you are the better the view. And when we got to our room, we had a signed card from the employees along with Easter candy because I didn't realize it was Easter weekend when I booked our flights. The room was clean with modern and youthful aesthetic. And the price? I can't believe it is one of the least expensive hotels along the harbor. It was between $129 - $189/night. Of course, Weekends are higher price. And, laundry is free. We just had to pay for laundry detergent. No dryer sheets in Auckland, though. People in NZ said I had an American accent. But they're the ones with accents... lol. Auckland is also a melting pot. The front staff were mainly Filipino, Vietnamese, and Chinese. So they had their native accent along with the English accent. But everyone was so kind to us. And they have a restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night socializing. Although we only had apps and drinks, the food was really good and non-alcoholic drinks were refreshing. As much as I want to gatekeep M Social, I also want to praise the staff members and hope everyone can enjoy your time staying at this wonderful establishment.

On the ground level is check in (with a beautiful plant wall), a restaurant, a bar, the concierge and the executive lounge. The lounge is 10/10. Offerings of all kinds and the coffee machine is incredible. There is local foods and such as well. On floor 10 is the pool, sauna, fitness center and hot tub. The hotel scent is planty/earthy. It's got a lot of wood detail and red stone tile and gold and grey... very unique. I liked the tall showerhead in the room and that it had a hand held option. Tub was seperate in our room. Amazing Dyson hair dryer and robes/slippers provided as well. Room had an espresso machine and local bottled water. For purchase there was alcohol and snacks in the room. Manager sent a dessert up for our anniversary. We were also upgraded to a very large suite and given a f&b credit. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We stayed here 1 night in December…read more First, location: the hotel is airport adjacent, not on airport property. You'll take a yellow shuttle bus to transfer to and from the airport. Second, atmosphere: the hotel design seems straight out of the 1970s. The colors and furnishings have been updated but the feel is still like Hawaii in the 70s. We had a double queen room on the first floor that overlooked nothing. There was a large to floor window that seemed a bit unsafe for the first floor - street access with glass that can be easily broken. Room was clean with crisp bedding but the hotel needs some updating. Third, service: did not try any of the food so can't comment on that. The front desk personnel acknowledged IHG elite program status and explained all the benefits that applied. Internet worked well. Overall, the hotel is okay just as a 1 night stopover to/from airport. Stay elsewhere for longer stays.

The single queen room was pretty spacious, but the double queen room felt cramped. They boast paraben-free shower and bath products in the rooms, but some of the items still did have parabens on the ingredient list. Maybe they're still in the act of transitioning away from the old stuff that has the parabens. The breakfast buffet was pretty good - a wide selection of options, including Asian breakfast items too! We also ate at the bar --surprisingly, the food tasted pretty decent. The club sandwich was solid. Fries were okay. Side salad was decent. Pro tip: instead of paying $6 per person for a one way trip on the "yellow bus" (airport bus that takes you to/from a few of the hotels near the airport), just Uber for about $9 one way.

The hotel is unique because it makes it seem like the hotel "Naumi" is a person ("Naumi says... -message-"). The hotel was super generous with complimentary snacks and beverages (Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, L&P, Meadow Fresh milk, Cadbury Chocolate Fish, and variety of tea and coffee). The beds are huge size, but you are bound to get the bathroom floor wet after a shower because there is no bathroom door or curtain, just a glass divider that only comes half way. But I loved the ceiling shower head. The design of the hotel is terrible to navigate. We took the elevator since we all had luggages and ended up making a huge circle in order to find our hotel room, so imagine walking endlessly while wearing a backpack, dragging a luggage, and holding miscellaneous bads. There was a quicker way to get there, but we had to take the stairs. When we were checking out, we decided to just use the stairs. Luckily, there was a really nice staff member who carried my mom's luggage for her (what a gentleman). Breakfast was included, which was okay (just your typical continental breakfast). You can also order eggs to your liking. The congee was really watery and tasteless, so I put a lot of salt. They have this cute donut display where the donuts are hung on rods. But I didn't eat one because I didn't want to mess up the layout. I would have given this place 3-stars, but their service deserved an extra star.

They also offer a small gym and sauna although you may have to ask directions (they're downstairs from the pool area). The Premium Spa Studio I book was spotless and well priced.

The only thing you really need to know about this place is that it's all about location-location-location. It's easy to get to by car, it's a few minutes walk from the perfect golden horseshoe that is Takapuna Beach, and there's a multitude of bars and restaurants just ten minutes walk down the road. The place itself is a little tired and grey, but the rooms are adequately sized, clean and for the location very reasonably priced. It's a nice weekend getaway for couples - on those sunny days you can't really go wrong - so the missus and I have come here more than once.
