Richmond Guest House

It had permit parking which we got given a permit card for otherwise it would have been very difficult.

A great location for central Wellington, a 20 minute walk away, and Basin Reserve. John was a very hospitable host who made us most welcome.

Perfect location, a parking space in an area which is near to the city centre is something I really like.

The option for included parking was a HUGE selling point. The location was good, with a variety of shops and cafes within 10 minutes walk

Mysigt B&B ganska centralt i Wellington. Rummet var rent och tillräckligt stort. Nyrenoverat och rent badrum. Parkering fungerade bra på gatan, men man bör inte vara för sen för att få plats. John är trevlig att prata med. Han har alltid ett aktuellt ämne att diskutera. Ofta något som har med var du kommer ifrån :-) Bra frukost till kostnade för rummet.

We had the big bedroom with 3 single beds, lovely ensuite, tea/coffee making, bar fridge, fan, we didn’t use the rest of the property or had breakfast as we had a big drive the next day, the breakfast room was lovely with a simple breakfast on offer, John is a good host he has a dry sense of humour however we did not have that much contact with him, good location to see the sights and John gave us a parking card to leave on our dash while parking on street. Would stay again.

The gentleman who runs the B&B is extremely sweet and invested in your having a great time. Breakfast is just cereal and toast, but is nice to have included. Parking is on the street (he gives you a parking pass to put on your dashboard) but there were at least a few spaces available when I was there.

Quiet area below Mt Victoria. 10 minute walk to main street of restaurants. Hotellier provides a parking permit for parking at the hotel.

From the outside you may not be impressed, but once inside it's like visiting your quirky old aunt. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet but the overall decor is interesting. The host John is friendly and helpful and a good continental breakfast is included. The location is fantastic, walking distance to all major Wellington attractions. No problems with on street parking, just make sure you get a permit from John to display.

Great low cost accommodation close to the city. Clean and tidy with free parking and the added bonus of a free breakfast

Die Einrichtung ist alt und abgenutzt, teilweise schmuddelig. Bettwäsche teilweise verschlissen und kaputt, um 06.30 h lief bereits die Waschmaschine laut. "Kontinentales Frühstück" bedeutet: Toast mit Marmelade!

Comfortable and clean

Met by host John who was very friendly & helpful. Gave me a map with directions for short 10mins walk to town. Room was tidy, bathroom fresh & clean, bed soft & warm. Good value, handy 10min Uber to airport in morning.

Welcome was great. Very caring. Bed was comfortable and shower great. It’s simple but good for a short stay. My room was to the front and street light made it feel like it never was dark. And could do we a bit better cleaning, specially the fridge.

We had a great stay at this B&B and enjoyed meeting John, the owner. The room was exceptionally clean and quiet. The property looked a bit run down from the outside, but the inside is great so don't be put off. We didn't have a car but it was easy to walk to nearby restaurants and down to the ocean. We also walked to Te Papa museum which was amazing. The location is very convenient. There are tons of restaurants within an easy 10 min walk. The room was comfortable and had both a fan & space heater along with tea/coffee and kettle. There was soap provided but no shampoo so you would need to have your own. Would recommend the property.

Accommodation within walking distance to city and lots of eateries. Room and bathroom extremely clean. Would recommend staying here. Lots of special touches. This property feels loved.

The proprietor very welcoming, polite and friendly. Very much enjoyed the conversation we had with him. Our room were brand new and spotless.Wonderful shower. Comfortable bed. Great value and accommodation. Includes breakfast. Highly recommend this place. We will return.

Not there long enough to take in condition inside/o/side property. Did not use free "continental br/fast". Thought toilet outside cistern mould needs removal, bathroom needs either an openable window i.e. the tiny window above main window could be openable (release of steam from shower/basin) or a fan. When I tried to clean it off, coating on cistern seemed to be some kind of plaster/rough paint. A minor point but others might not like seeing it.

Friendly Manager Clean Rooms Helpful

Das einzige was ich bemängeln würde ist, dass es sehr hellhörig ist aber ansonsten war alles super. Es gab alles was man brauchte.

we apparently had sky but could only get TV2!

Ein sehr altes Haus mit sehr vielen alten Einrichtungsgegenständen darin. Wir hatten einen großes Zimmer mit vielen alten Möbeln. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

This is a definite home from home stay, the decor is quite dated, but has a homely feel to it. John made me very welcome. My room is due to be updated, however the bed was very comfy and the shower was fine. The only down side was there was a lot of creaking from above, but to be expected I suppose as the house is old. Good to have breakfast provided. Only about a 10 minute walk to the front. Would definitely return.

Lovely stay! Beautiful cosy and cute room.

Our room was huge and tastefully decorated with antique furniture. There was a Queen bed and 2 King single beds as well as a dining table and couch. There were 3 of us and we had plenty of space to move around. The beds were super comfy. The shower was powerful with added benefit of being supplied with fresh towels every day. Our room was warm and very quiet. Their was a huge selection of cereals for breakfast. Our host, John, made fresh toast for each traveller when the entered the dining room. As well as a TV in our own room, there was a shared lounge in the main building. We loved our home. It is a great place to stay.

We had a great stay. The room was really big with a new bathrom. The B&B is really good located, so you can explore Wellington by walking. Parking is also available in front of the house. The breakfast was good with a lot of options.

A great location for central Wellington, a 20 minute walk away, and Basin Reserve. John was a very hospitable host who made us most welcome.

The location is good, around a 20 minute walk to the marina and less to the city centre. Rooms are pleasant & ours was clean. Breakfast was basic, but fine, choice of cereal and toast. Coffee is instant. The biggest problem with the guest house, which would stop us staying again, was John the host who was really rude to guests. We had an early flight into Wellington so I messaged the day before arrival to ask if we could drop our bags off around 10am (not check-in early) so we could walk around Wellington without our suitcases! I got no reply, but we headed there at 10 & were greeted with hostility by John & 'there's a reason have check-in times'! There was no greeting or apology for not having the service available and when I said we'd messaged the day before he ignored me. He did allow us to leave our bags in his office but we did it in such a hurry & we felt almost shooed out that we left things behind we needed for the day! The following morning at breakfast John was equally rude to guests making everyone feel really uncomfortable. Breakfast is 7-9am & we went at 8am. Unfortunately lots of people made the same choice and there wasn't space for all. John sent some people away & told them to come back in 10 minutes & then went on a rant about everyone having no intelligence & all turning up at the same time! Are his guests meant to be mind readers! He also made comments about some nationalities & was rude to a guest requesting filter coffee! Very unpleasant experience.

Clean,cosy,convient to the city.Diane was very welcoming and cheerful

Rude host

Close to town, easy free parking on the street. A very good breakfast. Friendly helpful staff

The room itself was nice, comfortable, and cozy. Parking and other amenities were also satisfactory, which we appreciated. However, my overall experience was spoiled by the manager’s behavior. In the 3–4 interactions I had with him, I found his language and tone to be unnecessarily rude. What upset me the most was seeing him shout at my elderly parents during breakfast for no reason. It was disappointing to notice a clear difference in the politeness and level of service extended to us compared to other guests around. While the facilities were fine, the lack of respect and courtesy from management left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, because of this, we won’t be returning here again.

John (the owner) was very hospitable and attentive. We had a really lovely stay - the place is well maintained and breakfast was generous. We'd highly recommend and will stay again the next time we are in Wellington

Had a lovely stay at Richmond Guest House. Was myself and my 2 other girlfriends (21 year olds from Canada) who shared a 3 person room, rooms are perfect size and having our own bathroom was a huge bonus coming from staying in hostels prior. John and other staff were lovely, John even went out of his way to carry my friends heavy suitcase down to our room for us. Will definitely be booking here again if I find myself back in Wellington!

Perfect location, a parking space in an area which is near to the city centre is something I really like.

Had a pleasant stay here for three nights in Mar 2023. Location is pretty convenient - only two blocks from bus stop served by #2 (main bus line through Wellington), and walkable to CBD or Mt Victoria Park. This B&B is an older building and, like most places we stayed in (or ate at) in NZ was having a hard time getting staff. The proprietor seemed to be doing everything by himself. That said, we had clean towels every day and breakfast (toast, cereal, coffee, tea and juice) was included. Access to laundry facilities was a great bonus for us.

It is a decent place to stay for the price. More than decent for the price. The only thing I didn't like, and that's not their fault entirely, was it was a little bit further from Cuba Street and the Waterfront than I'd like. You can't always get what you want

Quiet area below Mt Victoria. 10 minute walk to main street of restaurants. Hotellier provides a parking permit for parking at the hotel.

Lovely historic property in a quiet area and yet very well located for the city centre.

Very convenient position for my visit. Ie walking, buses etc.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Richmond Guest House B&B and interacting with the owner, John. Lovely Art Deco crown molding and porcelain collectibles adorned common spaces. Breakfast offered so many choices of cereal and toppings for the toast! Location is good for walking to the city center which was great because I didn't enjoy driving in Wellington due to the narrow streets. The room had all the appliances needed for our afternoon coffee/tea and a modern private bathroom. Would recommend!

Great location

The location was ideal, not far from restaurants and centre. The breakfast was very good and the host was very amusing. We were able to park outside the accommodation and the host was looking out for us to hand over a parking permit. Please note that when parking in N Zealand you have to park the way of the traffic or you can be fined. There was a traffic warden walking down the street. The accommodation was good, clean and we had everything we needed.

Impolite and rude staff (man) Lady was very friendly. Breakfast was poor.

Close to town, easy free parking on the street. A very good breakfast. Friendly helpful staff

Was quiet and bed was comfortable. Would like more gluten and dairy free breakfast options due to dietary/medical restrictions.

We had a great stay. The room was really big with a new bathrom. The B&B is really good located, so you can explore Wellington by walking. Parking is also available in front of the house. The breakfast was good with a lot of options.

This was such a enjoyable stay .. fabulous staff ..clean and warm .A unique property..breakfast lovely will stay again
