### Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service. As a repeat guest I feel very welcomed & valued. I really enjoy the well appointed & great size gym, pool & steam room area. The recently updated floor covering in the changing rooms is a huge improvement. The service in the chandelier lounge always leaves me feeling appreciated as a solo traveller. Exceptional breakfast area & service. "

6/10 Okay

"The room was adequate, but very dated. The air con didn't drop in temperature not through the want of trying. The bed was lovely but the pillows were a little uncomfortable. Overall for the price it was pretty much what was expected. "
