Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Enjoyed the event with Elle McPherson as a special guest. Great showcase of some NZ Designers. Beautifully designed room. The food was not up to its usual standards however (3/5). Great central location.

Very big convention centre, easy to navigate around and find the places you need. Lots of signs to find where you need to go, nice and friendly staff.

The Skycity convention centre is a huge place and great for large conventions but a bit daunting if you're used to smaller events in smaller venues.

The annual Fisher and Paykel Ball is always held at this venue.
Everything was in order.
Parking was easy with no bad jam even at exit time with several functions being held on a busy Saturday night.
Kudos to the Beverage team. The buffet dinner was wonderful (too much food left over in fact).
The Drinks tables service was orderly and good.
1 - There were 3 food stations. It would be more orderly to assign table nos for each one.
2 - for the lovely dessert served at the tables, no dessert plates were provided - impossible to handle with just the fork provided!
3 - We had about 75 tables with wait staff in attendance at each table. These are obviously engaged just for the night.
For our table 24 - she wasn't aware we could order coffee. She made several trips to check b4 we got ours.
We never got the milk we requested and we never saw her again.
It would be great if the staff tho temporary could be briefed properly.

I was pass by city and found skycity before leaving.
So me and my friend have walked in to the building.
We enter the casino, it request basic dress code. We didn't mean to gambling but would like to explore how is the casino in big city.
While we waiting our friend at a side, a staff from them has came to us and invite to join the member .
There come with some benefit like free parking, free drink and free playing money.
It's good place to has different experience and relax in the big city after shopping .

Great venue with good acoustics and large enough for big groups. Food was also very good for such a large group.

I have been to many events at this location and each year the service and the support for putting on events just keeps getting better and better.
I have MC'd one of the largest events in the country here for 6 years in a row and when you are organising an event for over 720 people the service and support needs to be there. But for smaller events as well like a training day or summit for only 30 - 40 people this location has all the rooms of various sizes to suit your needs.
As Skycity is currently one of the largest and most central locations for large events they do have a monopoly but you still get great service.
With the ability to cover everyting from multi media to bulk catering and security it is a one stop shop for your events. With the choice of hotels so close as well from The Grand connected to the convention centre to Skycity hotel across the road and many more close in town you can't go wrong for large numbers of guests.
