Across reviews, Best Western Wellington is praised for friendly, accommodating staff, clean and spacious rooms, and a convenient Johnsonville location with easy access to Wellington by road or train, though some guests found it tricky to locate and parking tight.
Rooms are generally quiet and comfortable, with good beds; a few mention dated elements or occasional traffic noise. Guests like being close to supermarkets and eateries. Overall, expect a practical suburban base for visiting Wellington.

Communication was great since we were a late arrival from the ferry. Our keys were easily accessible, but after following instructions to take the secure elevator, found the door to the stairs was unlocked. Not a secure building afterall.

I prefer to stay at this establishment. It is convenient to the facilities I require and the staff are great! Parking can be a little difficult when the place is fully booked and the size of the car you have is something of a factor with parking convenience.

If this hotel was in the Wellington business district, a short twenty minute drive away, it would easily command double the price. Don’t be fooled by the surrounding area. Inside it’s spotless with generous sized rooms (and we booked the smallest), a huge bathroom, and little extras like a service towel for cleaning equipment. Staff are unfailingly helpful. Very quiet despite proximity to busy roads. Laundry room and elevator.

Overall the Best Western provided a good base from which to visit Wellington. It's about a 20 minute drive along the motorway to reach the city centre and it's key tourist locations - but you have free on-site parking and no premium city centre prices. The room was spacious with a decent sized and comfortable bed, a table and a couple of chairs, plus a sofa. En suite bathroom with shower. Catering facilities were limited to a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle - but only plates, bowls, cutlery, mugs and glasses (no cooking utensils or dishes for the microwave) - fine for cereal and toast for breakfast. There are a couple of supermarkets within walking distance and also a few places to eat : we can recommend the Hyderabadi House Indian restaurant. The motel is not visible from the main road into Johnsonville, (it's really an anonymous looking block) and is reached up a small service road next to the KFC on the corner and then a turn that leads to the rear of the Fire Station (no call-outs during our three night stay). Parking is in bays underneath the motel. It backs on to State Highway 1 (a dual carriageway) and our room on the second floor overlooked this (but unless you open the windows they do a good job of keeping out the traffic noise - didn't affect our sleep). Daily room servicing amounted to resupply of toiletries and tea bags, etc. not making up the bed. Although the BW doesn't look much, it provided a clean, comfortable, practical and good value stay.

Parking is in bays underneath the motel. It backs on to State Highway 1 (a dual carriageway) and our room on the second floor overlooked this (but unless you open the windows they do a good job of keeping out the traffic noise - didn't affect our sleep). Daily room servicing amounted to resupply of toiletries and tea bags, etc. not making up the bed. Although the BW doesn't look much, it provided a clean, comfortable, practical and good value stay.
Overall the Best Western provided a good base from which to visit Wellington. It's about a 20 minute drive along the motorway to reach the city centre and it's key tourist locations - but you have free on-site parking and no premium city centre prices. The room was spacious with a decent sized and comfortable bed, a table and a couple of chairs, plus a sofa. En suite bathroom with shower. Catering facilities were limited to a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle - but only plates, bowls, cutlery, mugs and glasses (no cooking utensils or dishes for the microwave) - fine for cereal and toast for breakfast. There are a couple of supermarkets within walking distance and also a few places to eat : we can recommend the Hyderabadi House Indian restaurant. The motel is not visible from the main road into Johnsonville, (it's really an anonymous looking block) and is reached up a small service road next to the KFC on the corner and then a turn that leads to the rear of the Fire Station (no call-outs during our three night stay).

Really nice place to stay and within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shops. Owners were really pleasant and gave us recommendations on where to eat. Would definitely stay here if in the area.

If this hotel was in the Wellington business district, a short twenty minute drive away, it would easily command double the price. Don’t be fooled by the surrounding area. Inside it’s spotless with generous sized rooms (and we booked the smallest), a huge bathroom, and little extras like a service towel for cleaning equipment. Staff are unfailingly helpful. Very quiet despite proximity to busy roads. Laundry room and elevator.
