"The staff couldn't have been more helpful after I discovered I had made a mistake with my booking. They took the time to sort this out and were very warm in their manner. What had been a stressful situation was taken care of with ease and I was able to to return to peace of mind."
"Flawless stay. The breakfast was wonderful and we are so glad we chose to have dinner there also. Beautiful room and the venue was in a quiet end of town. Couldn’t fault it. Thank you Sofitel Wellington!"
"Ive stayed here a few times before. Always clean tidy and welcoming.
Great restaurant and bar on site and well equiped gym.
Very central location with ample parking "
"Our room was comfortable, the accessible bathroom lovely and clean, good bed, conveniently close to everything.
Firmly on the "we'll be back" list 🙂
my notes as a noise sensitive person: air conditioning hum was quite loud for some reason (compared to other places).
Our mid week visit was quiet, didn't hear noise from other rooms.
Note for improvement - room door responds to every other door moving on the floor by making a sound like someone is trying to come in. We wedged cardboard to stop that, but it was initially quite anxious-making.
