Top New Zealand Hotel Reviews

Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group

Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here for a week in October 2026. We loved this hotel. The rooms and property were great. The dinning was a bit expensive. The buffet was not worth the cost. But we loved our room and the toiletries were a plus. It's conveniently located downtown but not a lot of sit down dining options near by. But there are plenty of scooters to rent which makes traveling the city easy and fast. The roof top pool and hot tub were also nice. The staff were also great at this hotel. Very nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend it."
