Friendly staff. Fabulous location overlooking the harbour and near lots of restaurants. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT was that the Sebel charges you to use the internet! Seriously?! Not a big charge but I don’t know of any other hotel that charges for the internet.

Great location to restaurants and local sightseeing, and tours. Although there is no pool at the hotel the tepid baths are just across the street and include poos, sauna, hot tub, and steam bath. Dislike: There was some noise from nearby (bottles clanging together), but it is not terribly loud.

There was no reception for spark… had to walk a block away to call an Uber.The room was miserable and nothing like the photos . City view was a view of a car park and a window to a local swimming pool. The bathroom was dated but generally definitely not 4 star. We will not stay at a Sebel again after this experience.

The Sebel is situated right on the Viaduct and above the restaurants. Excellent for walking to the Fuller Ferries, shopping, dining etc Our room had a wonderful view of the harbour and Auckland Harbour bridge. We watched many sailing boats race by as we sat on our balcony enjoying the evening. Room was very clean, front desk service was outstanding. We would certainly stay here again.

Roomy, clean, well-equipped apartment with a balcony overlooking the beautiful harbor. Many wonderful restaurants nearby. Right next to the maritime museum and the Auckland museum is also nearby. The Maori cultural performance at the latter was a high point of our vacation. Nightlife in nearby pubs and restaurants was rollicking through the weekend - not a quiet location, but felt perfectly safe and we would definitely stay there again.

Terrible experience, terrible service, terrible property. Heres a handful of reasons I wont stay at a Sebel again if I can avoid it: - The MOST important thing you'll read about this hotel... IT IS ABOVE MANY PUBS AND VENUES WITH LIVE MUSIC. We stayed on a saturday night and no joke, I could tell you every song that band played while I was upstairs trying to sleep before my 7am flight. The band stopped at about 3am after playing Stacy's Mom... I could hear it all from my room. Insane. At 3am, the consumer has the option of complaining and packing up to shift rooms for an hour before they leave or just trying to push through. - Free wifi on their expedia profile inclusions. Once there, we were told its like $10 for average speed or $24 for highspeed. We told the guy we only book this place because of its location parking (I'll get to that in a second) and its wifi. We are international tourists, I need the ability to call people via wifi. The service rep spoke over me in a tone that made me think people complain about this regularly and said 'what room? I'll just cover it.' Before I'd finished my sentence. Great problem solving, but poor people skills. - Rooms are tired. SO tired. The TV is like 4 metres away from the bed or chairs so almost impossible to see. The room is long, which is weird, so no composition of furniture would make it look good. - PARKING - we had to park publicly in another car park, and theres no pull in bay to drop off suitcases. Terrible.

Great views if on the harbour side. Very noisy on the weekends especially if the live band is playing below. Harbour access is very easy and if you are a jogger you can easily run around the marina. The hotel definitely needs an upgrade as it’s quite dated. The mattress is old and very soft and concaves to the centre.

Average stay
This was one of the worst stays I’ve ever had. The hotel room smelt terribly of old deep frying oil. The carpets looked like they have not been cleaned in years. The bathtub was really gross and the bathroom itself was falling apart. Seems like the Sebel hotel like to charge a lot of money based on the photos you see online. Looks and feels nothing like the photos. Only good thing was location.

We complained to the manager, and was nice to move us rooms however his hands were tied due to all other rooms being similar condition.

Photos are misrepresentative of actual room
Hotel was fairly stock standard but below our expectations. Photos showed nice room, bed throws and bright windows. Room was actually quite tired, had no throw or extra touches. Kitchen was falling apart. Bed was ok but not comfortable. We wouldn’t recommend.
