Never ever again in this 5 star crap

This was one of the worst hotel stay i had in my lifr of 80 years. They gave where A/C did not work. They switched me to another room where total desk space was about 2 ft by 3 feet. In order to understand how the phone system worked in the room, i had to talk to 3 different persons. I prepaid for the breakdast but i got none. And if that was not enough, i was asked to pay 117 dollars for about 8 or calls i made using room phone.

Super hotel in a great location

This is a lovely hotel right in the centre of Wellington a 2 minute walk from the BeeHive parliament building. The staff were super helpful and friendly upon arrival. We used their valet service and although there was ample car parks we could have used, it was an easy and efficient service to use. Our room was great and the bed very snuggly. We ate in the dining room and had an excellent meal on our second night and once again great service. Would highly recommend this hotel

not recommend

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.
