It's a bit lower than the 5 star review even though it is very new and nicely equipped.
The daily housekeeping was particularly substandard. We stayed for 4 nights, and one day the hot chocolate packages were not replaced, another day the empty Kleenex box was not replaced, and the next day the used tea cups and saucers and the hand towel were not replaced, and even though the toilet paper roll was almost used up there were no additional rolls provided. These are pretty standard stuff in daily housekeeping.
We had a wonderful stay at Horizon by SkyCity. Room very clean, staff very friendly. Make sure you have dinner at The Grill restaurant. Food was delicious, great wine & friendly staff.
I really enjoyed our second stay at Horizon, away from the busy vibes of Sky City. It feels intimate, luxurious, and personal with such a friendly staff. As soon as you step on the bridge from main building, you can relax, feel safe and calm, looking forward to your beautiful room and very comfortable bed.
The female staff member who checked me in, the staff who kindly came to my room on the second morning to help me with the DND light, and the lady who guided me to the sauna were all very kind. I truly appreciate their hospitality.
Amazing hotel!!! Modern, elegant, perfectly appointed and offers Te Reo as an option for the room settings. My new favourite be hotel in Auckland!!! Close to lots of fun places.
