Simon L. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

its the little things that make a difference. privilege is about access - less friction so i originally planned a 2 night stay for a conference i was attending, and prepaid, as the time drew near for the conference I added another night then another. I booked via the ALL accor app. as this app does not allow adding to booking i had 3 reservations across the week concurrently. The night prior to checkin i pre-checked via the app. unusually iw as asked if i had any requests for the hotel - so i added room ac on and temp set to 22 so that the room would be at my desired temperature. i was impressed with this offering form sofitel wellington. Upon checkin - despite being a platinum member - i was asked for my phot id and credit card! not something a frequent traveller identified by status platinum should ever be asked by the team - yet here we were. i grumbled through this and then said to team i was not only here for a single night but for 4! Oh, ill ensure you remain in the room you are in so you do not have to change - now i grumbled further - surely a basic role of the reservation manager each day os the check the week and look after key customers to ensure their stay is frictionless. I then asked if the room temp was set at 21 as per my note- the exception team responded there were no notes in the system - so the app was falsely representing information that would never be passed on to check in. I got to my room and was expecting the usual welcome card and gift - no - nothing. clearly I was not regarded as a regular by the team. As i went out for the evening I mentioned this to reception and they were apologetic and upon return to room there was a welcome card and cheese board - but seriously - why was this missed? As I had 3 reservations my key card expired the next morning so i needed to update the key. I mentioned to the team my wife would be joining me this next day so please have a key ready - the reply was certainly she will need to provide photo id! OMG i was rather annoyed and said no way - I am happy she gains access please. Friday night we had the opportunity for dinner and thought we would eat in house. we went to the restrain and felt like a mice glass of wine - how disappointed that Roaring Meg was the only Otago pinto by the glass - a wine availed in the supermarket and fairly mediocre yet by the bottle Roaring Meg Mt Difficulty was on offer. We were not up for a bottle but unable to enjoy a great wine by the glass - in a 5 star hotel? this was disappointing. The we had a terrible dinner - the entire was so salty all we tasted was salt and the mains - my beef cheek was undercooked and my wife pork belly - while great crackling - was over cooked and dry - the restaurant manger was aologising and did not charge us for the food - but the evening was not the romantic evening planned when staying at the Sofitel - we may as well have gone to the pub. this was really disappointing experience showing that the little things can make a moment - or destroy it.

Check in was great thanks to Khushi who was was warm and efficient. Showed and welcomed in lounge. Room upgraded. ALL status recognised. Restaurant was great. Room is always impeccable. Check out could have been better. Checkout staff lacked info about the booking which led to avoidable delay.

Bonjour Kia Ora M. Suman, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback.

It’s also wonderful to know that your status was recognized, you enjoyed the restaurant, and that your room was up to its usual impeccable standard. That said, we sincerely apologies for your experience at check-out.

This is certainly not the seamless experience we aim to provide. We are especially concerned to hear that you felt judged or discriminated against during this interaction. We take feedback of this nature very seriously, and we will be addressing your comments with the relevant team to ensure greater care, clarity, and consistency in how we handle our guests’ bookings and entitlements.

The room was small and cramped. But the bed was super comfortable. The wine in the bar was way over priced. I paid $ 21 for a small glass of Pinot Noir that costs $23 a bottle in a bottle shop !
