Sofitel Wellington
10/10 Excellent
"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!"
"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.

"Only stayed one night, but hotel was clean and tidy, conveniently located and within walking distance for Sky stadium. Staff were all friendly and efficient too. "
"Nice room, very comfortable bed. 11am checkout on a Sunday is good.
Breakfast is a good selection of hot and cold items. Easy to get to central streets "
