We spent 3 days at Sofitel, everyday when we were sleeping, there were someone (hotel staff) knocking our door, no matter in the morning, afternoon, or at night, or all the time! There is a chandelier on the top of the bedside table, which is a very weird design, and unfortunately, the chandelier is very dirty and dusty, whenever I pick up or put something on the tablle, my head will hit on the chandelier, and a lot of dust fell. The restaurant is under average level, kind of Asian-western mixed food, and had diarrhea after dinner.

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.

Great hotel, but not in the best location on weeke
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
