Unfortunately this is the lowest rated review of any hotel I have provided based on an underwhelming experience we had at Sofitel Queenstown. It’s disappointing there is not much to say about this hotel and not sure where to start. The arrival - the drive way was overflowing with vehicles and a truck so we stopped where we could expecting a porter to meet us (as we would expect from any other Sofitel property) The porter service was provided by Guest services after we checked in who then moved our car and arranged our bags to be sent to the room. As a Diamond member we were not offered a room upgrade however advised the room we had over looked the lake (2 blocks away) The room - A luxury room booked and unfortunately it is plain and simple. Far from the standard of other hotels under this brand. Usually we walk into a room with excitement and take pictures but nothing to write home about here. The room also had a strange smell which Guest services attended too. The bath plug didn’t work and had broken teeth. Guest services had to come up twice to fix. The gym - Tiny and outdated equipment. On one visit the water cooler was empty and when I informed guest services it took 20 minutes to replenish. Valet parking - Always a wait of 10-20 minutes. One on arrival back to the hotel at 01:00am after a event, we were greeted by the same guest service agent who was on earlier that morning at 07:00am and again the following breakfast shift. It was clear this hotel has a staffing issue which is fine to comprehend however it’s not satisfactory when the hotel is charging $650 a night for a room that would be worth $300 anywhere else. Unfortunately there was never any sign of a hotel manager to discuss these examples with, or did not receive a feeling of welcome here. Club benefits - the staff were fantastic and friendly. All food service came from the kitchen unlike a standard buffet of other Sofitel lounges. Breakfast - the cafe staff were again sensational and remembered our preferences. The food was tasty with À la carte and buffet options available.

Hi there, I checked in after booking 4 rooms at the hotel. Checkin was less than ordinary. And nothing special done. No welcome gift in room or room upgrade done. After being provided a room with an uncomfortable bed and bad night sleep. Rustling sheets I complained and was moved to a Suite. Would have been better if I was put in a suite to start with and made to feel welcomed and looked after. Restuarant staff was great. But hotel was not a standout as I would have expected and have come to enjoy at sofitel stay.

We enjoyed our stay and especially the bar, Le Peitite Salon and breakfast restaurant experiences. The room was spacious and comfortable. The only issue we found was the valet service which we thought could be easier to manage but there must be a reason why it is managed through reception rather than the concierge. This reduces the efficiency and ease with which our car was accessed.
