Bonjour Kia Ora M. Diane, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that the friendliness and helpfulness of our team stood out during your stay. It’s wonderful to know that our staff were able to assist you with making the most of your Accor points and explain the options available to you. We’re also pleased that you noticed our General Manager’s personal approach to guest service. He takes great pride in being present, welcoming guests, checking in on their experience, and ensuring our team delivers service with care and respect. Your kind recognition of this attention to detail will mean a great deal to him and the wider team. We sincerely apologies for the issues with the bathroom light and ventilation.

This is certainly not the level of accuracy we aim to provide, and we understand how inconvenient it is to have to follow up to receive a refund.

King Superior room has the large bed but is not super spacious otherwise. Good size wardrobe with drawer storage. Nice little coffee area - more than 3 pods would be better when there are two people staying. One bathroom light was out we noticed

Andrea G. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall we had a good experience and we found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. However I wanted to note a comment about our check-in experience, hoping that perhaps additional training can be provided to prevent this sort of thing in the future. I am a woman traveling with my wife. We were greeted immediately on check-in and the staff asked right away if we were checking in under separate reservations. The assumption that a queer couple is not a couple is a very common experience unfortunately. While I know she was just trying to be helpful, I wish that the assumption had not been that we were not traveling together. Rather a very generic welcome, even "How can I help you?" would have revealed immediately whether we were traveling together or separately without the unfortunate assumption. My folio also referred to me incorrectly as “Mr.”

Bonjour Kia Ora M. G., Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re pleased to hear that, overall, you had a good stay and found our team friendly and helpful. We sincerely apologize for the way your check-in experience made you and your wife feel. We understand how the assumption that you were traveling under separate reservations could have felt uncomfortable and discouraging, and we are grateful that you brought this to our attention. We also apologize for the incorrect title on your folio. Your feedback is important to us, and we will use it as an opportunity to reinforce with our team the importance of making every guest feel welcomed, respected, and included, without making assumptions. We appreciate you helping us identify where we can do better. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your wife back and provide the warm, inclusive experience you deserve. Kind Regards, Mandar Yelwande, Duty Manager, Sofitel Wellington.

Bonjour Kia Ora M. Lisa, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review. It is always a pleasure to welcome you back to Sofitel Wellington, and we are delighted to hear that our team, Club Lounge, food and beverage offering, and comfortable rooms continue to make your stays enjoyable. We are especially pleased to know that, as a frequent business traveler, Sofitel Wellington has become your preferred place to stay in Wellington. Your loyalty means a great deal to us, and we truly appreciate your kind comments about our team and the experience we provide. Thank you also for taking the time to share your constructive feedback. We completely understand how important flexibility is for business travelers, and your comments regarding refundable rates are well noted. We will certainly share this feedback with our relevant teams for consideration. We are sorry that the glass screen in the tea and coffee area was not up to our usual standards. We have shared this with our housekeeping team so that greater attention can be given to these details. We also appreciate your comments regarding the provision of soap and fresh milk and will take these suggestions into consideration as we continue to review our in-room amenities. Your feedback regarding bathtubs is particularly interesting. We understand how much a relaxing bath can add to a stay, especially given our current wellness facilities, and we will certainly pass your suggestion on to the appropriate team as future refurbishments and room designs are considered. Thank you once again for your continued support and for helping us identify opportunities to improve. We look forward to welcoming you back to Sofitel Wellington and making your next stay another memorable one. Warm regards, Mandar Yelwande, Duty Manager, Sofitel Wellington.

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.
