Sofitel in Queenstown was perfect if you want a more cozy, boutique type hotel. The customer service is excellent and there were no long lines waiting for breakfast seating. The French restaurant there is really wonderful... good food and service (our waiter Antoine and barista Jen) made our last evening there special!! We highly recommend this wonderful hotel!

Michael M. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

The location of the hotel is ideal. Very central and with a short walk to a multitude of restaurants, the waterfront and shopping. I was in room 320 which had the unfortunate location of being right next to a door which guests could leave through but couldn't re-enter via. The problem was that whenever someone left the door would bang probably because they had no way to close it softly as there was no door handle on the other side. On my first night the air conditioning was very loud due to a loose fan but was fixed the next day. The television had to be fixed twice - poor connections to an ancient Sky box. The staff were great - friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable. Probably best to avoid 320, though, unless you want an early wake up call that sounds like a door slamming.

Bonjour / Kia Ora Michael, Thank you for sharing your feedback. While I’m pleased to hear you enjoyed our central location, comfortable room and the friendly service from our team, I’m sorry that several maintenance issues affected your stay. The repeated noise from the door, the air conditioning and the television are certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. Although the air conditioning was attended to, I appreciate that the disruption, particularly overnight, impacted your comfort. Your comments have been shared with the relevant team for further attention. I also appreciate your feedback on our breakfast selection and value for money, and we will take this into consideration as we continue to improve our guest experience. Thank you again for your constructive feedback. I hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more seamless and enjoyable stay. Kind regards, Pradnya Lohate Front Office Manager Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa

Loved the room with heated bathroom floor and heated towel rack. Bathroom night lights stayed on all night. Called maintenance but he said they Should be motion activated. HVAC stayed on 33° C maintenance call & the said there was an issue. They gave us a fan. Pretty uncomfortable for one night. We weren’t offered a different room. Fortunately it was fixed the next night.

Bonjour / Kia Ora Michael, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed our central location and the comfort of the heated bathroom floors and towel rails. However, I’m sorry that the bathroom nightlights and HVAC issues affected your comfort, particularly with the room reaching such an uncomfortable temperature. While I’m glad the issue was resolved the following night, we should have done more to ensure your comfort, including exploring alternative accommodation. Please accept my sincere apologies, and thank you for bringing this to our attention. Kind regards, Pradnya Lohate Front Office Manager Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa

Leisa W. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Stay was ok, but as a diamond accor I would have expected a little more from the Sofitel brand. Lounge benefit wasn't great, no room upgrade (or mention of an amenity to replace it).. raised it with staff who used the excuse of no rooms with two beds (yet when I mentioned the suites they conceded there was), breakfast was plain and the TV's were old and were not connected TVs.. a pretty basic item for a luxury hotel in my opinion. In a spa suite, some bath salts wouldn't have gone astray. The good? The location was great, my favourite thing about Sofitel's is how centrally they are located. The beds were comfortable and room dark.

Bonjour / Kia Ora Leisa, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry that your stay fell short of the experience you expected from Sofitel, particularly as a valued ALL Diamond member. We appreciate your loyalty, and I regret that the room upgrade options and alternative benefits were not clearly discussed with you. Your comments regarding the breakfast selection, toaster, television functionality and the missing finishing touches in your Spa Suite have also been noted. We understand that it is the finer details that help define a luxury experience, and we have shared your feedback with the relevant teams for review. We also apologise for the inconvenience of having to complete the check-in process twice. Thank you for acknowledging our central location and the comfort of our beds. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more memorable Sofitel experience in the future. Kind regards, Pradnya Lohate Front Office Manager Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa

Austin S. J. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall it was a good stay. Great location. Most (not all) staff were professional and friendly. Decent breakfast and dinner. Offerings in the club lounge was poor. On the 2nd day, our room was not cleaned all day until we reported to the front desk at 7:30 pm. (Despite the green "clean sign" at the door was turned ON when we left the room in the morning) but staff just ignored it all day. When we returned to the room that night, our room was done so poorly. Some (specially female) housekeepers were noisy chatting to each other but so unfriendly to the guests. We tried to say hi a couple of times, not only they didn't acknowledge, they miserably looked away. We used the public washroom in the lobby once and found it so dirty. The bin was full of garbage, and on the floor too. Looked like it didn't get checked or cleaned all day.

Bonjour / Kia Ora Austin, Thank you for sharing your feedback following your stay with us. While I am pleased to hear you enjoyed our central location, dining experiences and the service provided by Jane, Antoine and Jaypee. I am genuinely sorry that other aspects of your stay fell short of expectations. The delays and poor standard of room servicing, along with the condition of our lobby washroom, are concerning and certainly not the level of cleanliness and care we strive to provide. I also regret that some of our housekeeping interactions left you feeling unwelcome. Your comments have been shared with our Housekeeping leadership team for follow-up and improvement. I appreciate your feedback regarding our lounge offerings and overall service experience as well. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, as they help us identify where we need to do better. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Sofitel Queenstown Hotel & Spa and provide you with a more consistent and memorable experience.

We really enjoyed our stay. Staff were very friendly and the rooms were nice and comfortable. Our only issues was that there was quite of bit of street noise particularly in the early hours of the morning with party goers coming home and on one morning there must have been some construction.

Bonjour / Kia Ora Rebecca, Thank you for sharing your feedback following your stay with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our central location, comfortable rooms and the warm service from our team. It is also wonderful to know that you found your room spotless.

Well located hotel and friendly staff in restaurants, but the hotel is run down. Room was not regularly cleaned, mattress clearly old, shower was leaky, lobby was basic and outdated. Not a bad place to stay, but not a five star experience expected from the Sofitel.

Bonjour / Kia Ora Tara, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry that several aspects of your stay fell short of the five-star experience we want our guests to enjoy. The repeated need to follow up on room cleaning, along with the issues with the mattress and shower, is particularly disappointing and not the standard we expect. I will be sharing your comments with our senior leaders, including your feedback on breakfast replenishment and the condition of our public areas. We are currently replacing our beds, with wider refurbishment plans in place for next year as we continue working to improve the overall guest experience. I am pleased our restaurant team made a positive impression, and I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back and show you the improvements. Kind regards, Pradnya Lohate Front Office Manager Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa

The Sofitel is a beautiful hotel in a central location in Queenstown. It is easy to walk anywhere, and most tour pickups are a 2-3 min walk away. The rooms are spacious and clean. The heated floors are great. Breakfast each day was delicious. Seemran at the front desk was an invaluable resource in helping plan activities and finding recommendations. The kindness of the staff made our stay even better. I would only want to stay at the Sofitel on return and will recommend it to friends.

Bonjour / Kia Ora Priyanka, Thank you so much for such a wonderful review and for choosing Sofitel Queenstown for your stay. It is lovely to hear that you enjoyed our central location, spacious rooms, heated floors and breakfast, and that our team helped make your time in Queenstown even more special. A special thank you for mentioning Seemran. I will be sure to share your kind words with her — I know she will be delighted to hear that her recommendations and genuine kindness helped you make the most of your stay. We are so pleased to know that you would choose to stay with us again and recommend us to your friends. We look forward to welcoming you back to Queenstown and Sofitel very soon. Kind regards, Pradnya Lohate Front Office Manager Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa

We had a wonderful stay and we can highly recommend this fantastic hotel ! It is definitely the best Accor Hotel in N.Z and with being an Accor Diamond member we have stayed in them all. The staff really are amazing and all super friendly and make your stay special. Upon checking in , we could not have asked for more. We loved our room 611, very comfortable bed, excellent shower, nice view and a very quiet room. The house keeping always did a great job of our room :) The breakfast was excellent with very friendly staff , especially Emilie from France. Then there was the great Club lounge which had awesome service at all times especially Antoine who was amazing ! Then there was the excellent romantic cosy little Restaurant where we had several outstanding meals !! We dined 2 nights outside the Sofitel who were very highly rated Restaurants , one with a Michelin star but the Restaurant at the Sofitel for Dinner was the best of them all ! We can't wait to go back and a big thank you to all the amazing staff to how you made our 5 night stay just the best !!

Bonjour / Kia Ora Graeme, Thank you so much for such a wonderful review and for your incredibly kind words. It means a great deal to hear that, as a Diamond member who has experienced Accor hotels across New Zealand, you consider Sofitel Queenstown the best. Your special mention of Antoine is particularly lovely, and I will be sure to share your kind words with him. I will also make sure Emilie and the wider team know how much you appreciated their warmth and care. We are so pleased that our restaurant was a highlight of your stay, especially knowing you had dined at some highly regarded restaurants in Queenstown. That is a wonderful compliment for our team. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to recognise our people. We truly loved having you with us and cannot wait to welcome you back to Queenstown for another special stay. Kind regards, Pradnya Lohate Front Office Manager Sofitel Queenstown Hotel & Spa

My daughter and I had a very comfortable stay and appreciated the macarons and sparkling wine as a little touch for being a Gold Accor member. Makes all the difference for your brand to stand out from the rest. The Balmain products are gorgeous too.

Bonjour / Kia Ora Jo, Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for sharing your experience with us. It is lovely to hear that you and your daughter enjoyed your stay and appreciated the little touches, from the macarons and sparkling wine to our Balmain amenities. I will be sure to share your kind words with Santiago. It is wonderful to hear that his friendly and professional approach made such a positive impression during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you both back to Sofitel Queenstown for another enjoyable stay. Kind redhead, Pradnya Lohate Front Office Manager Sofitel Queenstown Hotel and Spa
