Smart B. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Location excellent, staff excellent, food excellent, gym excellent. Only negative is I didn't like the multiple knocks on the door at approx 7.30pm by staff to offer whatever they were offering. They knocked in everyone's door, called out multiple times to each room - I could hear every time for around 5 rooms around me. I'd suggest cutting out this service entirely. I was worried if I didn't answer they would come into the room, which is unexpected & stressful at that time of night e.g. if showering/dressing etc.

Mike B. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall fine; the hotel was immaculate and clean and well cared for. The room was comfortable, quiet. The bed was also good. The lack of a microwave was a bit of a downside; the TV signal was very unreliable and glitchy. The turndown tea and chocolates were very nice. Super minor but it was kind of strange to us that one of the robes was so much nicer than the other one. The bar downstairs was very nice, friendly, good selection of drinks and food, and the man was well informed about allergens (Gluten free). The coffee at the breakfast was not that good, but we did appreciate there was some selection of GF breads as well as a dedicated toaster. I had missed in the hotel amenities listing that there was not a pool or hot tub but that's entirely my fault.

Bonjour Kia Ora M. Mike, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your stay at Sofitel Wellington. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of your room, our turndown treats, and the welcoming atmosphere of our bar. It is especially lovely to know that our team member was able to assist confidently with your gluten-free dietary requirements. We are also glad you appreciated the gluten-free breakfast options and dedicated toaster. At the same time, please accept our apologies for the aspects of your experience that did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the television reception, coffee quality, room amenities and the inconsistency with the bathrobes. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams for review and improvement. We also appreciate your comments about the complexity of our room categories, rates and inclusions. We understand how this can be confusing, particularly for guests familiar with other Sofitel properties, and your feedback is valuable as we continue to look at ways to make the booking and stay experience clearer. Thank you again for your honest and constructive feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Sofitel Wellington and provide you with an even more seamless and enjoyable experience.

I always look forward to staying at the Sofitel Wellington. What makes this hotel so special is the wonderful staff, who are genuinely warm, friendly and always go out of their way to make me feel welcome and looked after.

Also, as a side note- I recommended if you are attending cake tin event as the location is excellent

We loved the hotel, great service and excellent restaurant. The only negative was the queen size bed, I would expect at least a King in a Sofitel.

Bonjour Kia Ora M. O., Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay, our service, and the restaurant. As a valued ALL Accor Platinum member, we sincerely appreciate your loyalty. We are sorry to learn that the bed size did not meet your expectations.

Trevor M. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Sofitel Wellington is a perfect example of how a hotel should be run. Liam is an exceptional manager thst leads by example. I saw him personally greet people on arrival outside the hotel and assist with their bags. I arrived at the bar mid afternoon during a quiet patch where the bar was unattended at the time and Liam checked in the me to see if I was being looked after. I had been there less than 1 minute. He had someone look after me within seconds. Due to White Island disrupting travel, my wife was a day late arriving so we extended our stay. The gentleman on reception managed to move things around to keep us in the same room at a reasonable price with same lounge access. My experience with all of the staff, from checking in, bar, lounge and restaurant was memorable for all the right reasons. Polite, friendly personable and a perfect example of how a hotel should operate. On our last night in the lounge, there was a young lady from Taranaki that was asked to cover the bar at short notice. She mentioned that she is usually a waitress. I believe whoever gave her this opportunity made a good choice as she was delightful and in our opinion stood out. I cant wait to come back to Wellington and wont stay anywhere else!

Bonjour Kia Ora M. M., Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to recognise our team. We are delighted to hear that you and your wife had such a memorable stay with us. Your kind words about Liam are truly appreciated, and we will be sure to share your feedback with him. It's also lovely to hear that our reception team could make your extended stay seamless and that our club lounge colleague from taranaki made such a great impression. We will certainly pass on your compliments to her as well. Feedback like yours means a lot to the entire team and reinforces the importance of genuine hospitality and going the extra mile for our guests. Thank you once again for your kind recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you and your wife back to Sofitel Wellington very soon! Kind Regards, Mandar Yelwande, Duty Manager, Sofitel Wellington.

Five-star comfort! The staff were all very friendly and attentive. We particularly like the French theme. Breakfast service was excellent and the selection of food in the buffet plentiful. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We couldn't fault our stay and Sofitel is now our number 1 choice of hotel in Wellington!

Feedback (not for publication) Do enjoy very much staying at your property, and your room upgrades are always welcomed and very much appreciated. As a self-employed sole trader, those little extras genuinely make a difference. A few small things came up during this stay that I thought were worth mentioning: Room service: There was a delay with the meal. It's always helpful to receive a heads-up if there is going to be a longer wait. Food quality: The burger patty was very undercooked and quite pink. Couldn't eat it -Thank you for kindly removing the meal from the bill. Room service menu: Overall, I feel there is a lack of healthier choices and the options are a little limited. Delivery charge: The $10 delivery fee felt a little on the high side, although perhaps these charges have increased across the board. Club lounge: Absolutely awesome as always. Really, really good, and the staff are consistently fantastic. In-room amenities: Fresh milk in the room would be a nice touch. Also, I couldn't find any soap in the bathroom. Have you moved away from providing it? Heating: Had some trouble getting the heater to warm the room. After a couple of staff members looked at it, the second gentleman managed to get it working, and increasing the temperature to 24 degrees helped. This isn't the first time I've encountered issues with the thermostat/heating during a stay, so perhaps something worth looking into. Overall, nothing major, and certainly not intended as criticism. These things happen, but I thought the feedback might be helpful. Really do enjoy staying with you and appreciate the consistently lovely staff and the little extras that make the visits enjoyable.

Bonjour Kia Ora M. Lisa, Thank you very much for your continued loyalty to Sofitel Wellington and for taking the time to share such thoughtful and constructive feedback. It is always a pleasure to welcome you back, and we are delighted to know that you continue to enjoy your stays, particularly our room upgrades, the Club Lounge experience, and the warm hospitality of our wonderful team. We sincerely apologies for the shortcomings you experienced during this visit. We appreciate your feedback regarding the room service delay and the quality of the burger. While we are pleased our team was able to remove the meal from your bill, we certainly regret that the experience fell short of our usual standards. Your comments regarding healthier menu options and the delivery charge have also been noted and will be shared with the relevant team for review. Thank you also for your suggestions regarding fresh milk in the room. Regarding the bathroom amenities, we currently provide body wash in the shower rather than a separate bar of soap. We appreciate your understanding. We are sorry to hear about the ongoing heating difficulties and understand how important a comfortable room temperature is. Your comments have been shared with our Engineering team so they can investigate the thermostat and heating system to help prevent similar issues in the future. On a positive note, we are delighted that you continue to enjoy our Club Lounge and that our team consistently makes you feel welcome. Your kind words mean a great deal to all of us. Thank you again for your continued support and for helping us identify areas where we can improve. We genuinely value your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay, with an even better experience next time. Kind Regards, Mandar Yelwande, Duty Manager, Sofitel Wellington.

I booked this last minute on the flight as my father died. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Even though I arrived late they still brought me a glass of wine to my room as a welcome drink.
