What guests think

At ibis Wellington, travellers highlight the excellent central location and friendly, helpful staff, while noting straightforward, no-frills rooms with comfortable beds; recurring drawbacks include limited paid parking, dated or compact bathrooms, and noisy or ineffective air conditioning.

Most guests find rooms clean, though housekeeping and maintenance can be inconsistent (e.g., shower fittings, drainage, or occasional hot-water issues). Breakfast and the on-site restaurant attract many positive comments for quality and value, but some report average selections or items not hot. Expect a budget-friendly, central base with solid basics and a few rough edges.

Apparently you have to call to receive a parking spot. They don't honor requests through hotel sites. They directed me to a public garage for $. Room was clean but very simple. Good location if you are catching the ferry. No microwave or kitchen, just a small mini fridge. Room was a bit small. But it worked out for what I needed for one night.

The website is not clear on the parking situation so we were not able to get hotel parking for our first night. We paid far more at the Wilson parking lot around the corner. The rooms were clean and spacious and well appointed. There is a dining room on property. The hotel is situated downtown so there are plenty of other dining options and lots of shopping. Wellington is a windy city, so come prepared.

Close to the ferry. Parking was nice at a $35 charge; although, I believe you must first check in first and pay for parking before actually parking in the garage. A slight in con convenience to park on the street to first check in.

Everything was ok, except the room cleaning. The room looked clean in surface, but there was trash on the carpet floor from days before. The extra blanket was just thrown and not properly arranged once the beds were made. Overall was a good start, except the cleaning which was annoying and uncomfortable to see that it didn't improve in the 4 days we stayed there.

The staff was very friendly, but unfortunately, the cleanliness of the hotel was disappointing. Our room, as well as the entire floor, was not well-maintained. The carpet in our room had old gum embedded in it, and the hallway carpets were visibly dirty. Additionally, room service trays remained outside guests’ doors for over 24 hours before being picked up. Noise was another issue—throughout the night, we heard constant bumps from the walls, making it difficult to sleep. At one point, we strongly considered leaving and returning to the DoubleTree a block away, where we had a much better experience the previous week. Fortunately, that was the only place our traveling companions had picked out and we only had to survive one night. Overall, while the staff was welcoming, the lack of cleanliness and excessive noise made for an unpleasant stay.

Disappointing we booked two rooms in advance and rang the day before to confirm they were located close by and all was good. When we checked in, they couldn't find a 2nd room booking and couldn't tell us when they could clean one for us. Had to chase it up a few times while having 4 adults crammed into one room and no real interest in trying to sort it or assist us.

Checking in wasn’t so good to be fair. We arrived at the car park to be asked by the person answering the intercom had we checked in online. I did receive an email a few days previous, however when I tried to check in on line I was told that the time had run out for me to check in. I was getting a little concerned as I had arranged for parking and the hotel last year. We eventually got checked in and our car was safely parked. The person checking me in appeared quite dismissive when I tried to explain about the online check in. When I approached reception a short while later to get a map, this same person was again quite abrupt in manner. I have never been to Wellington before so was quite disorientated, again this person appeared quite bored when I asked about our location and where things were. I observed this person with other clients during check in and their demeanour was completely different. If I did anything to offend I apologise, I must admit that it didn’t give me a very good first impression of your city.

Terrible check-in experience - Danuca was very unhelpful, couldn’t tell us where the nearest parking was and when we asked for a higher floor he said nothing was available, we got to our room and it smelt like urine. When we went to reception to request a change again the lady on reception was more than happy to help facilitate the change implying lots of rooms were available and gave us lots of useful information about the area. The hotel is quite dated but good location in the city.

The location is great. Walkable to a lot of shops and eateries. The coffee in the restaurant downstairs is outstanding. It was nice to have somewhere onsite to grab a bite when the rest of the city closes early. We were greeted at the front desk by smiling, friendly people most of the time. The room was good. The only little gripe is the shower. It's very small. The sprayer also did not stay in place. The pressure will just about knock you down then the spray shoots straight up. You definitely need to play with that to get the pressure just right so that it holds the sprayer in place. When you turn it off it just flops forward out of its cradle. Kind of a hassle but we managed. Also, the soap they provide in the shower caused severe irritation to my face. It cleared up after 3 days but it was the only possible cause as it was the only thing I had done differently. I'm not a very sensitive or allergic person, so just fyi. I will carry my own from now on. It's a decent hotel. Pretty basic, but okay.
