At the first look the hotel seems nice and different but only the latter seem to confirm once you check in. The reception people are not particularly friendly. My overall impression is the they invested all in being different but they haven't considered the utility and comfort of the difference. There's a parking lot just next to the hotel for... more

Stayed in this hotel for one night, the room was cheap but very very small. It was not big enough for two people. It is impossible to get a decent nights sleep as there is so much noise from people outside their rooms. Not recomended. more

First impression was Shock to see such a small room but it had everything and more. They offer $10 meals which was very good and found staff to be very friendly. It offered a kitchen facility and a big dining area. Very good value for money. more

We stayed in the budget rooms and they were great. My brothers rooms air con played up but the front desk was so helpful and gave him a room move to an upgraded room. It was all very laid back and they recommended heaps of activities to us and the hotel facitlities were top notch. Definitly staying again, very unique. more

We stayed at Hotel So for one night after reading about it in the Air New Zealand flight magazine. The room is funky, I have to say. Totally different from anywhere else. The room is small and parking is in the nearby car park that did not have a lift near the entrance. We didn't mind the size of the... more

Hotel So is unlike anywhere else we've stayed before...modern, funky, colourful, in-your-face... For us it was just perfect - we were exhausted from travelling (and camping), the weather was miserable and we just wanted somewhere warm, dry and cosy to curl up for the day in comfort, chill out, and use the internet. The soundproofing seemed to be very good... more

We only stayed at Hotel So for one night, but we were very happy with the quality of the hotel for the price we paid. The location is good - only a few minutes walk to Cathedral Square. We paid for the cheapest room available, which was small and didn't have a window...but that really didn't matter. Our room was... more

We payed extra to stay in a King room, but it was still cheaper than most places and we found it to be great, with everything we needed. Free wireless was convenient and the funky lighting options kept us entertained for a while. We didn't have any noice issues that others have reported (maybe because it was a Monday). The... more
