Nice spacious apartment with everything we needed. Service was excellent. I was very impressed as you dont get this level at a 5 star. The down side is it is not double glazed so very noisey, right across the road from hospital, helicopter came in. Its fine but i would take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Good location, close to city with supermarket and food places near by.

I found this to be an excellent experience. My wife had been admitted to Wellington hospital which was just across the road. It was a perfect location for regular visits. The staff were absolutely amazing, super friendly and the room met all my needs. I would highly recommend this hotel particularly for its hospital location.

A Warm and Welcoming Stay The staff were some of the most helpful people I've ever encountered at a hotel. They went above and beyond to make our stay as welcoming and comfortable as possible. The location is incredibly convenient, especially with the hospital just across the road. The only downside was the bed size—if you're tall, I wouldn't recommend booking a double room. In saying that, I would absolutely stay here again, especially under similar circumstances. The service and overall experience made a real difference.

Enjoyed our stay at Sojourn. Rooms are spacious and cozy. Staff are welcoming. Also parking at the facility is much easier than Woolies - I’d suggest booking ahead as there are only limited spaces available. Bathrooms were clean and fresh towels stocked everyday. The kitchen had everything we needed. Would 100% recommend to anyone travelling to Wellington and would definitely stay here again.
