Firstly, the customer service is amazing! The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. There were some negatives: We arrived early at around 11.00, our room wasn't ready, but for $120 (in addition to the $340/night I was already paying) we would be able to check in early. This seems to me to be a gratuitous cash grab; if there's a room ready, we should be able to check in. There is no secure wi-fi - who does that?! I attempted to download a book on my e-reader, I gave up trying to connect the e-reader to the wi-fi after trying for 20 minutes. The Smart TV isn't so smart. We only had access to live TV. This is 2026, not 2006 - very few people watch live TV any longer. We could not access our streaming apps, so we were forced to watch a movie only to be interrupted every 15 minutes or so with 12 to 14 ads (yes, I counted them), what fun! While the room was stylish, it lacked some functional elements, such as light switches on both sides of the bed; when there's 2 guests, light switches only on one side is inconvenient. Also the door to the bathroom is frosted glass, while cute, it lets light into the room when one is using the bathroom. Again, inconvenient when there's 2 guests.

In over 25 years of being members with Accor, we have never had such a wonderful experience as we did at Sofitel Wellington, where we truly felt valued as guests. From the moment we stepped onto the pavement outside the hotel upon arrival until we left five days later, we were overwhelmed by the exceptional service, friendly staff and the high quality of food in the restaurant. The service was truly excellent and went above and beyond our expectations — the staff were warm, welcoming and genuinely eager to help. The buffet breakfast was outstanding, with fresh, high-quality food and a great variety. A special mention goes to Yashim in the breakfast restaurant, who was exceptionally warm and friendly and made our mornings even more enjoyable. Also to the General Manager Liam who was friendly, helpful and always had a warm smile. The rooms were lovely, well-appointed, and offered excellent amenities, making our stay very comfortable. We highly recommend Sofitel Wellington and look forward to staying there again soon.

We stayed four nights the week of Jan. 1 at the Sofitel in a Luxury Room, 1 King Bed on a higher hotel floor. We liked the ample size of the room, the extremely comfortable bed, the blackout curtains, the seating area. We included the breakfast option, which offered ample selections and enjoyed having access to the Club Sofitel, which had an afternoon tea as well as a happy hour. The location was perfect for exploring downtown, the Botanical garden, the historical cemetery, waterfront, and bird sanctuary. We walked everywhere and easily took rideshare a couple of times. The hotel has a good gym. We had a few glitches at the beginning with our key cards not working but the nice staff worked quickly to address. Highly recommend

To be very honest this hotel exceeded my expectations. From the customer service to the room itself, everything was handled with care and professionalism. The breakfast was outstanding from fresh sourdough to honeycomb and I truly appreciated how accommodating they were with dietary needs. Unlike other hotels aka Kamana. At no point did I feel like I had to compromise or ask twice. The staff were attentive, warm and genuinely welcoming. If i had known they also had a location in Queenstown, I would have booked here instead without hesitation. The overall experience was calm, comfortable and thoughtful exactly what you hope for when traveling. Highly recommended and I would absolutely stay here again.

An amazing stay. Thank you for providing exceptional customer service and going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable and we were able to get a late check out of 4pm to work on with our evening flight. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Sofitel! From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely going out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. The breakfast was nothing short of spectacular, offering a delicious and beautifully presented selection. The hotel’s decor is exquisite, effortlessly combining elegance and comfort in every detail. I can’t wait for the opportunity to return. Highly recommend!

This is the second time staying at this hotel. To be honest, the first time we had some issues with the air conditioning in the room, it was stuck on freezing! This time was a whole better experience from friendly check in, nice spacious room. If you are able to use the club lounge, this is a lovely area to chill, enjoy some complimentary snacks and drinks. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the restaurant, wonderful breakfast buffet, also used the gym which is a decent size and enough free weights and equipment for a good workout. It’s a little walk from the CBD but suits us as we enjoyed walking, only 20 minutes.

We arrived at this hotel, my wife and I, drifting through the universe looking for a place to rest our heads. And we found it. The location was exactly where it was supposed to be, which is a rare thing these days. The rooms were comfortable, truly comfortable, the sort of places where you can lie down and briefly forget that the world outside is noisy and complicated. But a hotel is just a pile of bricks and glass until you put people inside it. There was a man named Sergio at the front desk. He had a mustache. It was a magnificent mustache. And there was Pawan who went out of his way to speak, in depth, with both of us. In a world that can be terribly indifferent, these two were aggressively kind. They were charming. They welcomed us not like customers, but like human beings who deserved to be happy. They went above and beyond, as the saying goes, to make sure our stay was wonderful. And it was.

5 star experience here at Sofitel. The location is amazing. Situated near the Terrace Street which is a Main Street in the business area: clean, busy, safe, Sofitel is on a smaller street 2 minutes walk from the Terrace Street. Translation: it is convenient, I walked everywhere during my stay, and I feel extremely safe even at late night. Walk near the water is only 10 minutes walk. To be on Lambton Street is 10 minutes walk. To go to where the restaurants near the water is like 20-25 minutes. I highly recommend Whitebait and Charley Noble. The room here is spacious, functional and super cute. Very boutique hotel and in style.

Sofitel Wellington is a fairly new hotel in downtown Wellington. Just off a main shopping street. Service is spot on for a 5 star hotel and our room was well appointed. I didnt know but they had a fire from the restaurant and had to refurbish most of the hotel! I saw pictures of an awesome gold piano was but was sad to find out that it is gone now. Anyways I highly recommend staying at the Sofitel Wellington!

Amazing food, beautiful hotel, responsive and courteous staff. We stayed here over Christmas 2018 and they treated us extremely well, even leaving us a Christmas present at our door on the morning of the 25th. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Incredible value for what you get. Rooms are beautiful and well-maintained. Food is exceptional. Staff are highly trained. Stay here if you can.
