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.

Receptionist was professional, friendly and welcoming. Sojourn was perfect for our visit with a loved one in Wellington Hospital. It’s walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants and on the main bus route to the city. Beautiful, clean and comfortable bed. Very clean. One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in Wellington.

This was a surprise hotel. From the staff service to the quality of the rooms, it surpassed any expectation that I may have had. I would return for another stay without hesitation. Some of the dining options in the area are a bit limited but the local cafe breakfast options were good.

We had a great stay, the room was clean and had all the facilities as per description. Very handy to the hospital but a bit further away from town, which is still walking distance and there is public transport outside. Would definitely stay again as very handy to family.
