What guests think

At Bolton Hotel, travelers praise the friendly staff, central location near Parliament and the waterfront, and spacious, clean rooms (many with kitchenettes), while enjoying the pool, spa, sauna, and gym, though parking costs and Wi-Fi reliability draw complaints.

Guests generally rate the restaurant and breakfast well, but some noted limited buffet choice, small portions or extra charges for espresso, and occasional closures for events or restricted cafe hours. Many suites include laundry, handy for longer stays, though several reviews mention dated decor, minor maintenance issues, streaming or TV limitations, or occasional noise. Expect a comfortable, central base with warm service.

We were disappointed that the pool was so cold that we couldn't really use it. We love the location. We have stayed here many times but have never had an upgrade or any recognition for our loyalty. The staff are always pleasant.

Yummy food on offer. Easy to wander Wellington city from the hotel’s location. A lovely place to stay on our holiday.

Clean rooms but for a top end one these are not luxurious really. Some of the gift boxes eg vanity set, sewing kit etc were empty. We had a sticking sliding door and the guest ipad had the previous guest still logged in...not a good look. The staff however were amazing, top quality. They spent time talking and not rushing us and couldnt do enough to help us. They all need a pay rise !. Valet parking was a dream and god send in the CBD.. Due to the staff and friendliness i woukd definatly stay there again but wontbwait 15 years between visits.

The Bolten is in a fabulous location however it is so dated inside it feels grose. Old Stained carpets and sofas. Kitchenette had 3 single tea spoons in the family suite. Fridge cabinet door brackets were broken, towel hook on back of bathroom falling off. Netflix not working in master bedroom or lounge and tv working in kids room however remote became unresponsive. The arms on the sofas and chairs felt sticky and grose. Master bedroom was missing a robe. We moved a single sofa chair to face the TV and there was food under it. The kitchen tap was so stiff it almost didnt work at all. Had to keep adjusting the shower temperature all the time as it kept changing and going from luke warm to super hot so kids needed help. We stayed somewhere else for our wellington trip however wanted to stay a extra night and there was nothing available for where we were. We rung the bolten willing to pay 1k for the top suite which they declined which is fine so we took the family suite. Would love to have known the state of the top suite as I would have been gutted to part with bigger money for the same feel. Our kids did enjoy the pool and the beds were great and clean it was just the suite itself. It didnt have a above and beyond feel when it came to the staff either. We dealt with all our own luggage and got the trolley ourselves and transported it. They said they would ring when the suite was ready but they did not. We could have been good customer's however I dont feel we will return.

Our stay was marred by our poor check-in experience with the duty manager, who, after apologising for keeping us waiting to check-in, then proceeded to answer a telephone call and keep us waiting for a further five minutes. His manner was also somewhat perfunctory, rather than friendly. We had a good-sized room, but the bathroom was a little tired, especially the plastic shower unit. We were also surprised to find that we were charged extra for our espresso coffees at breakfast.

Bolton Hotel is tucked away near a corner of the Terrace so all of down town Wellington is easily walkable. The hotel is decorated very tastefully. We had dinner and drinks in the restaurant and everything was delicious with pleasant service. The Concierge staff were wonderful helping us with our luggage and their car valet service. If I let them know we would be going out again in a short time they’d accommodate our car to make it easier and quicker for us. They were very thoughtful and extremely pleasant to deal with. Front desk staff were equally as good, but we dealt with them far less. We stayed three nights and will return in three months.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Bolton Hotel in Wellington and had a great experience. Our suite was clean, spacious, and very well equipped, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The service throughout our visit was texcellent—staff were friendly and attentive and helpful. We also had the opportunity to dine at the hotel restaurant, which served very good food. Although the prices were on the expensive side. Location-wise, the hotel is ideally placed. It's a short stroll to the beautiful Botanic Gardens and Zealandia, with the waterfront just a 20-minute walk away, making it a great base for exploring the city. Overall, we would definitely stay again if visiting Wellington.

Buffet breakfasts have a few small glitches, but overall okay.

We stayed at the Bolton for one night and booked the premier studio room. I requested a quiet room as we were arriving late and leaving early the next morning and I am a light sleeper - needed the restful sleep. We were assigned room 208 and at first blush, it was nice and comfortable. We went to bed and were rudely woken up at 4am with loud banging noises outside our room window. It was the garbage truck picking up from the hotel at 4am. The loud noises from the garbage pickup went on for almost 30 mins and we had barely gone back to sleep again when the next service truck arrived. It was a constant stream after that until we gave up trying to sleep and got ready to leave. I tried to mention this to the person at the front desk and he had the audacity to blame the hotel across the street for being the cause of the noise, knowing fully well what had happened. It was clear from his indifferent attitude that we were not going anywhere and we were in a bit of a rush to leave. An apology was all that was needed. Very disappointing experience and I will not be returning to the Bolton, ever.

Kitchenette well appointed with a large counter, microwave, stocked refrigerator, and dishwasher ( which really surprised us!). Parking is not convenient, and I recommend using valet if in a hurry to catch the ferry. Hotel restaurant dining is upscale with food and wine delightful! I would recommend this hotel.

The staff were delightful, and the food was amazing! The steak was particularly delicious. We also had a lovely quick breakfast and coffee at the front door cafe. The location is great - Uber drivers and your companies were instantly familiar with the building. There is a lovely historic cemetery and church across the street. Be warned, many of the coffee, shops, and restaurants seem to be "weekday only", though I'm sure the Bolton staff can point you in the right direction, and you can't go wrong at the in house eateries.
