Decor a bit dated but clean and bathroom very good with normal and rain shower heads. Our room rate gave us breakfast and access to the executive lounge. In the lounge there was all day tea/coffee, incredible afternoon tea with 3 tier cake stand of goodies and drinks from 5pm also with 3 tier snacks/canapés. I think we got half the room rate back from those things alone. Very friendly staff. Recommend

When we walked in we were greeted and checked in. Our room was on a very high level and the views were amazing. We also had $100 hotel credit which we used at the bar one night for snacks and drinks. We were welcomed into our room with a cute little gift baggie with chocolates and a card. The room was amazing- had everything you'd need including a microwave which I think some other New Zealand hotels were missing. They had valet parking and providing a service called Turn Down Service. Someone knocked on our door around 6pm to ask if we're interested- I was curious so I asked questions/- what's included, it means they tuck you in, give you tea, and chocolate. I was scared I had to tip so we denied but she was so sweet and offered us the chocolate and tea which is happily took. We also had another instance when I was attempting to warm up leftovers but missing utensils and called downstairs and they delivered three to go utensils packs on a platter like a proper delivery, it was incredible. I have no bad words about this hotel, good proximity to of the main area/ walking distance. Highly recommend if staying in Wellington!

5 star experience here at Sofitel. The location is amazing. Situated near the Terrace Street…read morewhich 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.

Very clean, quiet and classy hotel down by the waterfront. I come to Wellington often and the…read morelocation here cannot be beat, unless you plan to spend all day in Parliament. It it's close to the waterfront, the nightlife and shopping. Good choice. The hotel itself is well appointed, although the rooms have a surprising dearth of electrical outlets. (bring an extension cord) The decor is moden/cool with lots of artwork. Beds are large and comfortable. They have a pillow menu and you can order your choice from five or six kinds, ranging from goose down/soft to "European square", whatever that is. So, you will be comfortable. Now, let me get to some useful facts. Get the apartment hotel, not just the hotel. The rooms are a little bigger and a little more expensive. But, they have a decent kitchenette for making breakfast and a small washer/dryer. Worth every penny. A decent branch of the New World supermarket is across the street. You can get orange juice and eggs there for a fraction of the cost of the hotel restaurant. (my favorite juice at New World is from Charlie's Honest Squeezed.) The Sunday farmers market is across the street. Very good stuff, but also things the supermarkets won't buy. Choose carefully. If the weather is nice, walk along the waterfront and enjoy the pop up shops. In any weather, the TePapa Museum is one of the best in the world and essential for understanding New Zealand. The restaurants and bars on Cuba Street are a short walk away. My favorite Wellington restaurant, Ortega Fish Shack, is not in Cuba, but is a six minute walk away.

Review is for the 'Q' portion of the CQ Hotel…read more Pros: I ordered a Queen suite that was extremely spacious with kitchenette and sofa. The Wi-Fi internet connection held true and was faster than what I'm accustomed to in hotels. TV had some good American shows after 5pm. You get all the basic amenities including A/C, mini fridge, closet with hangars, etc. Room is fairly quiet. The hotel has a great coffee shop and cafe in the lobby. You can add them to your room service if you like. Check in and check out were simple processes. I had no unexpected or hidden charges. The staff has a direct line to the cab company that will take you to the airport. Cons: The room gets HOT during the day even in the Spring. I left my A/C on full blast while I was at work and would still come back to it being pretty unbearable. Temperature would normalize around 6ish, I'm betting it gets unbearable in the summer though. Breakfast was not included with the suite. Basic things like eggs, bacon, and toast were $20 NZD and just not worth it. I didn't try any food at the cafe or hotel because there's too many options just outside on Cuba street with higher quality and better prices.

The frosted glass of the bathroom that looks into the bed area was weird. The bed was comfortable and big. The kitchenette has a frig and microwave, as well as an electric stovetop.

I'm not sure how safe it is though, so better take out all the valuables.

It was also helpful that the hotel had a washer/dryer in each room so we were able to clean our dirty laundry. The hotel staff was so friendly and welcoming. We opted for valet parking to keep things easy. You can get your car anytime you want and revalet it for no extra cost. Our room was on the 13th floor, with a cemetery in the back of the hotel, I was wondering if that was a sign, but all went well. Our room was spacious with a living room, kitchen, and bedroom. Beds and pillows were comfy. Shower was nice and hot. The only thing is the building creaked - like a lot. It was hard to sleep at times. It's apparently because of the wind and shifting of the building.

This review is for the deluxe high tea only…read more We started with a selection of whole leaf teas from TWG (Singapore), supposedly only sold only to five star hotels. I selected their signature 1837 Black Tea while my partner tried the Royal Darjeeling and later their South African red tea, Eternal Summer. All of our choices were whole leaf teas with distinctive and complex aromas and taste. We each had a glass of Allan Scott's Cecelia Brut, with fine bubbles, from New Zealand's Marlborough region. On the three tiered tray were savory items including a cheese and bacon scone with an avocado spread, a ham and cheese sandwich and a sausage in a puff pastry. All of the sweets other than the tiramisu were chocolate items. A fruit tart or a scone would have been appreciated. We enjoyed lovely service by a friendly local who was quite engaging and educational about the extensive tea selections available.
