Edrick S. Families - 7/8/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Had a great stay. However, we got valet parking for our car. We were told that the car would be parked in Wilson car park across. Imagine our surprise when we received an infrigement notice for parking the car on Ballantrae Pl and not paying (there were timestamped images attached to the notice, wherein the car was parked after we left it for the valet, and when we wanted the car back as we check out the next day).

Bonjour Kia Ora M. Edrick, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you had a great stay with us, but we're very sorry to learn about the parking infringement notice you received following our valet service. We understand how concerning and unexpected this situation must have been. Please be assured that we have already disputed the infringement, and everything has been taken care of from our side. We appreciate your patience while this was being resolved. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, as it helps us review our processes and ensure a smoother experience for our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a completely hassle-free stay in the future. Kind Regards, Mandar Yelwande, Duty Manager, Sofitel Wellington.
