My husband has some mobility problems. As we were catching Eurostar the next morning I booked this hotel for its location. However I loved it! Very eclectic in every way but comfortably so. Great bed. The restaurant is well regarded and mainly Israeli based which I enjoyed, A little noisy so next time I would book a room overlooking the courtyard.

I am not a huge fan of Pullmans but the Auckland property is one I would revisit, and has a lounge on the top floor that’s does not get crowded

I am assuming that you are referring to the Pullman Auckland Hotels & Apartments? If so, then yes, I would agree with your sentiment here (my review is here). It is a nice hotel to stay at. Location wise it's good, not as centrally located as the SO, but on the other hand a lot less street noise. Breakfast was good and it also has an executive lounge should you hold Platinum (or better) Accor status (or book a room with that benefit).

Just thought I'd ask: did your room have minibar service? When I stayed there back in 2023, they didn't have a minibar (on account of COVID) which was a bit of a let down as I was intending to raid the minibar as a Accor Platinum (you get unlimited soft drinks from the minibar at MGallery properties as a Platinum)

Unlimited as in you can have all the softdrink in your minibar but limited to the daily quota refilled by housekeeping, or can you call up for more?

I believe you can request housekeeping to come by and refill your fridge (I personally have not tried that as I have a dietary restriction which prevents me from excessive consumption of fizzy drinks). But I was joking with my partner about calling the front desk every hour to refill the minibar.

This was booked for wife’s birthday, which I informed the hotel a week before. Bottle of wine arrived later in the afternoon.
Asked for a 1pm check out and granted.
Really helpful staff. Room was stunning and won plenty of brownie points with wife. Great location, less than 10 minutes walk to train station and walking distance to everything on the island.
