What guests think

Across recent reviews, Willis Wellington Hotel is described as a budget-friendly, walkable base near Cuba Street with notably friendly staff, offering straightforward rooms that meet basic needs but show their age and can vary in comfort and upkeep.

Maintenance issues like weak shower pressure or malfunctioning TVs, and limited paid parking are recurring complaints. Several guests noted traffic or internal noise and the lack of air conditioning, leading to hot or cold rooms. Breakfast is frequently praised, though the restaurant isn’t always open for other meals. Expect a simple, well-located stay with trade-offs for the price.

I called ahead to the property to tell them my son was in a wheelchair and required an accessible room. The room we had my son had to move the bed to get to the bathroom which had a step to get into. He was unable to get to the basin to wash his hands. The next morning we thought he might have better luck going to the toilet in the main foyer/ through a lounge. This toilet he also could not access the basin. Very disappointing. The reception dude however was amazing.

We were in room 404 overlooking the city which was great as we watched the fireworks from our room on New Year's Eve. The room was a little small in comparison but comfortable. Full buffet breakfast was included in our rate which was fantastic. It's a short walk to Cuba Street and about a 20 minute walk to cablecar. No air conditioning so slept with window open and fan on. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking spots are very small so if you have a big car, it could be a bit difficult especially if you parking down the back.

The staff were amazing very friendly and great service Unfortunately the room did not look anything like the photos. There was a disgusting stained blind, mould in bathroom and on the sprinkler. It was an old room it was clean but old and in much need of a re vamp. The room we were in was by the road so was very noisy. and some works were happening on the night drilling and banging.(not the hotels fault). Unfortunately would not stay again.

Don't get trick by the pictures, they are way better than what you'll get ! There was black mold on the windows and in the bathroom. In the room the smell was terrible, that's the first time I had to buy spray to cover an hotel room smell ! Some big stains on the carpet by the bed I don't even want to know what was it from. Only the bed stuff and towels were clean (on the surface). The walls are so thin we could follow the conversation of the people waiting for the elevator. Finally when we booked the room we received an email to book the parking, the link didn't work, I called to book but it was full, when we arrived they asked if we wanted to book a spot, we asked if it wasn't already full, for them to confirm it was full !

Comfortable affordable stay - rooms were very basic and dated - mould on the exterior windows and the carpet down the hallways could definetely do with replacing it was a bit of a tripping hazard. However given what we paid to stay there, you get what to pay for and it was perfect for our needs which was a clean tidy room to spend a couple of nights. Close to city not a far walk at all so good location.

Hotel is ok, looking a little tired but clean, bed was a little mobile as it would move away from the wall when you sat in the bed and leaned against the wall with little effort. Main issue was the reception staff, seemed like she did not want to be there, not used to my credit card and id being thrown across the counter at me with as little interaction as possible.

If you plan to be out and about and just want a convenient base, then this is a great budget friendly option

Simple, basic and budget, but was completely fine for our overnight stay and a great price. Decent sized rooms. Bed was comfortable. Towels and sheets were all clean. Could hear trucks driving past at night but wasn’t too bad. Good hot breakfast. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Printed some forms for our car hire, as well as stored our luggage after checkout while we explored and then let us use the lounge to change and get ready for our flight. Much appreciated.

The room was really dated, shower over the bath difficult to get in and out of. Pictures on website in no way resembled the room we had. One sash window that didn't stay open and a pedestal fan. Restaurant was closed and when I booked it said there was a restaurant available on site. I get that they may be upgrading rooms but they could indicate that so that you have advance warning.

The room was extremely dated, the pictures online made it look much more modern. No aircon and the fan was noisy. Couldn’t have the windows open because of the traffic noise and sirens at all hours of the night. Bathroom had stains and a thick layer of dust near the toilet. Plug for bath had thick pink rim around it. Carpet in the hall was bubbling up. Found hairs and a bug in our bed. There was not much space and the coat rack stuck out so far I hit my head on it trying to get past the corner of the bed. One side of the bed had no power points so made charging phones annoying. My friend found a hair in her mushrooms from the breakfast buffet. We also told reception as we were checking out (had to stay as no other options due to Ed Sheeran concert in town and Waitangi weekend) and they didn’t seem worried, have a half hearted sorry and a “I’ll let the manager know”. I’d hazard a guess they didn’t pass on our feedback. Also not suitable if you have assessibility needs - steps up to reception from both directions and couldn’t see anywhere someone in a wheel chair could enter. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Very convenient for Cuba Street. If you are buying an extra breakfast like we did (our daughter lives locally and joined us one morning) check what you're signing for. $28 for a bowl of cereal and a cup of tea is a bit much. The guy on reception didn't care - we'd signed for the full breakfast buffet.
