### Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group

10/10 Excellent

"Had our room changed because first room had nasty stain on carpet. Coffee machine was missing and so was some of the furniture. 2nd room was excellent and of the usual standard we expected from cordis. Max in the desk couldn’t have been more accommodating if he’d tried and remained warm, friendly and extremely helpful in the face of our complaint. All staff were friendly, warm and welcoming. Spa and pool were in excellent condition and water was clean and warm. New pool towels were lovely as were the outdoor cushions. Landbar menu was excellent fare but could do with a salad or green element included. Loved this bar for casual dining and another friendly inviting set of staff.concierge also very helpful. Overall a great place to stay and we will return as we have done for several years now "
