What guests think

Across the reviews for The Sebel Auckland Viaduct Harbour, guests consistently praise the waterfront location steps from restaurants, ferries and attractions, as well as the apartment-style rooms with kitchens and in‑room laundry, often featuring pleasant marina views.

A recurring drawback is late-night noise from the bars and live music below, which many say disrupts sleep, especially on weekends. Rooms are frequently described as dated or worn, with occasional maintenance issues, small or disappointing balconies and some city‑side outlooks facing a car park; Wi‑Fi commonly attracts extra charges. Cleanliness and upkeep are mixed, but staff service is widely described as friendly, helpful and accommodating. Expect a lively, convenient base with useful in-room amenities rather than a quiet, modern retreat.

This hotel is very well situated for various activities. I really appreciated a possibility to use for free the Tepid Baths swimming pool and also sauna, though that was not too great. There are many sailing options in the port just in front of the hotel, numerous restaurants and bars in a walking distance around the down town area. The Sky Tower is nearby, as well as the bus terminal. My room (studio) was excellenty equipped, spacious and comfortable.

Great location. Overall highly recommend. Had drinks/snacks in the minibar available for purchase. Rooms are in good condition. Bathroom shower leaked a bit onto the floor with each use, but hopefully was room specific. Otherwise great! AC system is good and quiet. Parking was $40/night with very easy in/out access. Can use the same elevator to get to your room/lobby.

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.

We stayed here two nights at the beginning of our trip and two nights at the end of our trip. The carpets are stained and our bathroom door doesn’t close because two of the hinges are coming away from the frame. There is a substantial lack of USB charging points in the entire outlay of the rooms. Literally only one on the TV console? In 2025, you would expect to see them on the electrical points? Our first room had the balcony door taped with gaffer tape closed because it didn’t shut properly? Good locationbut really needs more tender loving care. Forgot to mention there are 15 huge restaurants below with seating hundreds of people in the restaurants making echoing racket until midnight.

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.

3rd floor first room, the bedroom faces straight into three other balconies 10 meters away so anyone on their balcony can look straight in as you’re lying on your bed! The view from your bed is not a sea view however if you go out onto the balcony you can then see the harbour to the far right. This company really needs to take better care and make sure their cleaning staff do their job. The carpets were stained. There was a stain on the couch and both the bathroom door and the bedroom door top two hinges had come away from the frame so you were unable to close the door properly. The location is fantastic but do bear in mind that there are very busy restaurants directly below and the sound carries until 12 midnight.

Rooms

Apartment‑style units with kitchens and in‑room laundry are appreciated, and harbour views can be excellent. However, decor and furnishings feel dated in places, nightlife noise often affects sleep, some balconies are very small, and Wi‑Fi typically costs extra.

Harbour view rooms which we stayed in on 2nd and 5th floor, suffered from noise from the restaurants below. Thought it would be better on the 5th floor after the first night, but not. The windows on the fifth have very poor seals to keep noise out .All windows and sliding doors are single glazed, and old.Staff at hotel dealt really well with room change request.

This was a nice efficiency apartment but the description of the room and the upgrade I paid for was a lie. The harborside rooms are clearly shown to have balconies with a table and chairs. I paid extra for this because my husband and I both needed a space to work remotely without stepping on each other's zoom calls. Our 'balcony' was the size of a shower stall, only big enough for a single person to stand in without a chair. The bedroom was only just large enough for the bed, so we were both stuck working in the tiny living room/eating area. I paid a premium for a room I did not get.

Absolutely loved the position of the hotel very accessible to all the restaurants. The staff were very helpful and polite and the room was nice and big. The only bad thing was the bed was extremely uncomfortable we stayed for two nights and didn’t get much sleep due to this. I I think they need to start replacing all the mattresses in the hotel.

Our suite was clean and well equipped with everything you'd need for a short stay however the air conditioning in the suite wasn't working. We reported this to reception twice, but it wasn't fixed and no alternative room was offered (despite the hotel not being fully booked). We couldn't have the windows open at night to cool the room down as the noise from the bar downstairs would have kept us awake (we could hear the tables and chairs etc being moved around at the end of the night even with the windows closed). The 1 bedroom suite is more like a studio as you can't have the sliding doors closed otherwise you can't get out the bed on both sides - not a huge issue for a short stay or for a single person but would definitely not be suitable for a couple for a longer stay. The bed was terrible - very uncomfortable when shared, the mattress was very soft and sagged/worn and so the bed moved considerably anytime either myself or my husband moved in the bed.

Outstanding position right on Viaduct Harbour near ferries, cruise terminal, shops and dining, ideal for walking the city. The trade‑off repeatedly mentioned is loud nightlife noise from nearby bars and live music late into the night.

If you are looking for vibrant night life on a saturday night, this is the location (music playing till 4:00am on sunday). Friendly and helpful staff. Difficult to park or expendive so don’t Forget tonorebook car Park at the hôtel.
