Everything about this hotel was exceptional. Beautiful clean rooms with comfy beds. We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and it was great. However the highight was the staff. Everyone we had contact with - from checking in, the bar and restaurant staff, and housekeeping- were so friendly and helpful and made us feel so welcome. They even gave us free vouchers for a drink when they learned it was our mums birthday. I will definitely be back for my next stay in Wellington.

Really enjoyed my stay at the Sofitel. Very professional and really appreciated the subtle French touches to align with the brand. Only small issue is that the location is more in the business part of the city so be prepared to walk to attractions, restaurants and bars if staying the weekend

Wonderful hotel and very attentive staff. The staff is what my stay enjoyable. When we arrived we had several problems. First, the room wasn't large enough to accommodate 3 adults. The staff upgraded us twice before we were satisfied. They blamed Expedia for this mistake. Of course this was for a cost. After having trouble finding the hotel, the parking was a disaster. Parking is on street, but there are restrictions during the day hours. We ended up accepting valet parking, but again at a cost. So overall the stay started poorly, but again I'll say the staff made it enjoyable. Very professional and well mannered.
