What guests think

At Mercure Wellington Abel Tasman, travellers highlight a central, walkable location and generally friendly staff, but note dated rooms, thin walls and single glazing, significant street and hallway noise, and the frequent absence of air conditioning.

Cleanliness and maintenance are mixed, with some rooms spotless and others showing dust, mould, worn furnishings, or minor faults. Parking is available but tight and usually paid at a nearby Wilsons facility. Breakfast and the attached restaurant receive varied feedback, from tasty and convenient to closed, costly, or poorly replenished. Overall, expect a central stay with friendly service but trade-offs in noise, aging rooms, and limited amenities.

Disappointed with the lack of amenities. Mercure is quite a name as a hotel. and paid quite a bit for parking as it is a Wilson carpark

Our short stay was OK, our room was a little basic with the bathroom fine in terms of facilities, although the toilet roll holder was hangings out of the wall precariously as if to fall at any moment. In the room the TV was wonky, but the bed comfortable. The room lacked USB points and the single plug socket meant all charging was from one point, and very slow. " The carpark was full "as we were told" so parked next door in public carpark, for same price

Comfortable stay, well located, easy walk to Cuba Street and shopping areas. Managed to secure an on site park but you need sharp parking skills as they are very tight and narrow. Just a note the onsite restaurant is not affiliated with the hotel but would not recommend the buffet breakfast there. Food was not tasty and was dried out.

It was convenient and comfortably enough, however we could hear a humming noise coming from the adjoining room going throughout the night we surmised that it must have been the heater. We were charged an extra $70.00 once we checked out for something that we were not made aware of we can only conclude that it was for the underground parking which we thought was part of the hotels service as we weren't made aware of any extra out lay cost and even though i called the reception and asked why we were charge she unfortunately couldn't explain and assured me that management would be in touch via call or email its been 4 days and I've still not had a reaponse, when on holidays you expect everything to be transparent when making hotel bookings, not extra costs added after youve checked out we still don't no what the extra $70 dollar cost was for as there wasn't a mini bar we can only assume it was for parking and it cost $35.00 a night to make matters worse the parking area was tight and pokie. I will not be recommending this place to family and friends in NZ or Australia

Check in was difficult, asked for early check in when booking and when I arrived this was not even considered. Room had rubbish under the bed. Bathroom was not up to standard, mould, dirty shower curtain. Wallpaper in main room was peeling off. Staff were in the corridor complaining about guests. Location was great. Tried to extend booking with property directly and found them very hard to contact.

First of all, I have never ever heard of a Hotel room not having Aircon. I have travelled a fair bit in my life and never come across with a room with no AC. They offered us Fans (which were very dusty, could have cleaned it first). They also don't supply tissues (we have stayed in Lake Taupo in a Motel for 1 night, even this little place had aircon and tissues. We have emailed them at the time of the booking, that we require secure parking for a daily fee, well they didn't have any, we were told, first come first served, they have run out of parking spaces. They did not mention this at the time of booking. We had to park in Wilsons Parking (unsecured). Next morning I woke up to see a line of thick dust in the "headboard", had to ask them to clean it as it was right at my head. Bathroom very small, vanity had hardly any room to put a bag of toiletries down. For a bigger room, TV was tiny, no ability to log into any apps, as they didn't have any. Although the same chain in Auckland was a lot better, with this experience we will never book anything with Mercure. Terrible experience.

Hotel is in a great location, with good staff and lovely front of desk. First branded hotel I have been to with single glazzing on a main street in a city and no air conditioning by default - didn't read the fine print that air conditioning is an optional extra. Car parking is convenient but car parks are small and tight. We stayed on a Saturday night, so we got basically no sleep, as it was warm, and there was yelling and screaming outside our hotel all night, and then trucks \ buses from early morning. For $250 for the night it would be the worst value hotel I have stayed in from memory

My room was great, looked recently updated however it had a door joining it to another room. I could hear the neighbours so clearly they may as well have been in my room. I asked to switch rooms. This was acommodated quickly and easily. The new room was officially a downgrade from what i had booked , but was fine, and I was given a refund of the difference in price. The staff were friendly and helpful. As they say "its the putting it right that counts".

Room was comfy and clean. Location was convenient and lots of places to eat nearby. Hotel breakfast was contracted out to cafe next door and it was a good breakfast except they ran out of food and didn't replenish anything and heaps of people after us went without. Most irritating thing was that we tried to check in after 4pm and told our room wasn't ready yet with no timeframe provided. We had tickets to WOW that night so this meant we had to change our plans and it was just annoying. Hotel staff were nice but didn't seem to care that this was an inconvenience and offered no solution. Tainted the whole stay, really.

Buffet food was cold not hot and very over cooked. Parking was a nightmare not very well signed saying this is where to park. Very tight car parks was very difficult leaving as bigger vehicles were parked and hard to move past
