Facilities

On-site dining is well regarded, but hours can be limited and room service or the bar may close early. Parking is on site but extremely tight and limited, often unsuitable for SUVs, and many guests end up using nearby public parking.

Hotel was very pleasant. Was quieter than I thought it would be since right in the heart of Wellington’s night life. The breakfast was great and the staff were very attentive and polite. Also note, if you want drinks delivered to your room, it’s a $5 delivery fee. That was a first for me lol Other than that, nice place to stay if your having night out in the city.

A decent hotel for the price. Whatever you do, don’t bring a car. The parking lot is way too tight. We had a midsize car and one of us had to get out of the car and direct the other as to not hit anything. It took 15 minutes to get in or out.

we booked this hotel after having to relocate from another hotel in the middle of the night (at the last minute). We were very pleasantly surprised - the location is very close to everything, so extremely walkable. We were very happy to have an interior room due to all of the noise in the city centre as it was Cuba Dupa weekend (we don’t know if it would’ve been noisy in the exterior rooms. But we were very appreciative to have a quiet room). we ate in the on site restaurant for breakfast on one day - it was competitively priced versus other breakfast/brunch locations. we would recommend others to stay here. If you are using the on-site parking facilities, we recommend having a smaller car rather than an SUV or pick up!

Clean room. Nice staff. The absolute worst parking garage I have ever used. Exceedingly narrow - and we had a small vehicle - parking spots. Each turn around a corner required multiple attempts of turning wheel and reversing, driving forward, turning wheel again, reversing again, and so on.

But a few homeless people out the front. Car park facility was convenient, but very small, wouldn’t want a big car. Was a squeeze in a compact car.

Both our bathrooms were dirty. One toothpaste on the vanity. The other hair that hadn't been vacuumed. Great location, really handy to St James Theatre. However I'd expect more for the price I read so many comments able the parking and I wouldn't park there again. Due to a vehicle parked by a down ramp it was near impossible to get down a ramp and this could have been mildly better if that parking site in particular has been for a small car only. The bed was super comfy!

Drawer in room damaged, maintenance promised but never arrived. Cigarette butt in safe, promised cleaners but never arrived. Dirt and food wrappers on top of wardrobe/cabinets. Unfit for purpose shower design, water all over bathroom floor and partially on carpet. Poor lighting, bathroom and entry are only main lights plus backlit headboard. Noisy, could hear hallway noise and a lot of noise/loud music from nearby establishments. There was always light under the main door to the hallway and the fan in the bathroom did not work. Surfaces had not been properly wiped as dust and bits left on them. Overall ok for sleeping but did not meet expectations.

The hotel was a great location for Cuba Street activities. Our run was on the street side and the street activity was loud: music, cars, and people (5th floor). The room was not clean. Toenails on the floor by the bed, hair in the shower. Not a great option if you are sharing the room as the bathroom doors are frosted glass in the middle and see through on the top and bottom.

Location is great, good sound proofing so you wouldn't know you're in the heart of Wellington. Need more attention to cleanliness. The shower was not clean, someones old toothbrush was in there and hair on the ground which was gross. The heatpump also leaked the whole time so the carpet had a wet patch. As long as you stepped over it to get to the bathroom you were ok. Wet socks are not a vibe! Friendly staff at check in.

The bed and pillows were really comfy, the bathroom was modern and the shower was nice and big. Staff were friendly, and also greeted their guest. Would definitely stay here again. 😊

Room was clean, bed comfortable and bathroom spacious. Parking was self-parking in house (very tight/tiny parks but adequate). Had some issues with check-in - slow due to only 1 staff member on and some computer issues but checkout was very fast. Overall we would recommend this hotel and would stay again.

The breakfast was amazing, one of the best breakfasts I had in New Zealand large spread with lots of options. Great stay, will stay here again when in Wellington

Check in was very slow but the room turned out to be fine

I booked my parents here for the location and included free car park. They arrived and were informed that there was no free car park even though we listed this under the special requests. The receptionist, Chloe, was very unhelpful with the issue and was actually very rude and did not offer compensation until I turned up later and prompted her. It appears that this is an ongoing issue. It cause lot of stress for my stress for my elderly parents. Apart from the terrible reception and welcome, the overall room and hotel was clean, warm and nice.

Hello. At check in, Miss J didn't say hello to us. Just asked my surname and to check for correct spelling. She did not tell us about the property. I asked about our parking and she said she couldn't take our small SUV and to look elsewhere. She said our car may be towed if we left it behind the Hotel. My wife and i were stressed . We rang around to find parking for our car. She wasn't helpful at all. Great location but poor poor service after a 4 hour drive.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. We loved the bed and the super large shower. I really liked the provided toiletries, smelled lovely! The only issue we had was with the parking. It is very tight and difficult to manoeuvre. The first space we were assigned to was impossible to get into (right next to the wall) and thankfully the second space was manageable. The front desk staff was so helpful with all that. The location is central and convenient, lots of restaurants and entertainment. It’s also close to the waterfront, which has great art and views.

Great location - close to shops, bars, restaurants, cinema, theatre - hotel could do with a really good clean - INTERNAL rooms have NO windows so be aware - lifts are extremely slow and you can not get to any other floor but your own (just mentioning if you are traveling with other guests located on a floor different to yours as you need to tap your room card in the lift) - nearly every day our room card stopped working to get into our rooms - the BREAKFAST is virtually cold on the cooked buffet breakfast as they only have heating lamps to try and keep it warm which then it's not worth the price, the A' La Carte breakfasts took about 20 minutes to cook/arrive but at least it was hot - the car park is extremely tight, be aware if you have a large vehicle to park - there was a lot of noisy other guests, some altercations & others being 'sick' in the corridors which did disturb our stay but thats due to it's location and a weekend stay - check your "check to bill" as we were charged for items when we shouldn't have been charged for - they give you only 2 coffee sachets in your room but you can ask for additional at reception - staff suer friendly and try and help if they can - unless you are a "clubber/party scene" then I would avoid at weekends or if you are wanting a quiet hotel! If you would like to give me a thumbs up for this review as I have taken time to submit this information to help you with your stay - you do have to 'push' if you are entitled to FREE room upgrades.
