    Tried a couple of the cocktails downstairs. Wasn't too fussed with them but still drinkable. Not sure changing a great cocktail is always a good idea. Would have been nice to see some of the classics on the menu. Kawakawa mojito was nothing like a mojito, was weird and the massive block of ice in the glass left not much cocktail to drink. The bar staff were fabulous though. But honestly its a very small thing and not something that would put me off ever coming back.

    Great place to stay. Staff were excellent. Rooms were modern and comfortable. Easy access to Sky complex. Nice comfortable relaxing bar downstairs. Bonus was we were an hour early and had wanted to just leave our bags but they checked us in early.

    I found it a little difficult trying to navigate my way around going between Skycity and the Horizon hotel. The parking situation was also really confusing but did get there in the end. It was only minor issues overall so didn’t really affect our stay too much.

    The staff at reception were very warm and welcoming upon arrival, and super helpful. The room felt luxurious and equally cozy at the same time. I can definitely say the entire experience had exceeded my expectations overall, especially for the price.

    Not much could have been better, really. Exceeded my expectations.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable, with great views of city and harbour. Bed was super king size, and very comfortable. Pillows had varying softness. Everything felt new. In room amenities were luxurious and the fridge was well stocked. Very quiet room and blackout curtains were very effective.

    I wouldn’t say didn’t like, just uncomfortable in being that we couldn’t adjust the temperature of the room on the heat settings. Was a little too warm and we couldn’t adjust accordingly.

    Hotel is gorgeous and gives luxurious vibes. The facilities, staff and location are absolutely spot on.

    Loved it all

    First room had a broken aircon which they all tried to fix . Rather than hold me up they simply transfered me to another room so I could get on with the days activities . Fantastic decision I thought. I also appreciated the care in which the cleaning staff at the time helped me transfer my luggage to the next room . Thankyou to the manager on that morning who allowed me afew drinks from the mini bar in the room . So nice. Will stay here always. Thanks again Susie Willsx

    The only thing we didn't like was the TV! It wouldn't work for some reason but git it sorted in the end.

    Loved the location. We paid a little bit extra to upgrade our room, and it was worth every cent! We had an incredible view of the City and harbor.
