At Museum Apartment, reviews point to a quirky, art-filled stay in a central waterfront location, with generally friendly staff but uneven execution across operations, leaving experiences that range from delightful and memorable to underwhelming for the price.
Rooms vary widely: some are spacious with harbour views and comfortable beds, while others feel small or dark with awkward layouts and limited storage. Facilities draw mixed feedback, including a basic to problematic gym, an underwhelming pool or spa experience, and costly or imperfect parking and valet. Dining is inconsistent, with several complaints about limited or closed options and breakfast quality, though a few meals are praised. Expect style and convenience, but uneven consistency.

Facilities
Gym feedback is mixed—some find it decent, others report excessive heat and broken air conditioning. Pool access or quality drew complaints, the spa was down for some stays, and parking or valet was costly with occasional issues.

Great art at the hotel. Catering facilities very poor. Breakfast was unavailable limited, few pastries, salami, cheese and chia pudding. I wouldn’t mind that but quality was very unsatisfactory. Valet parking $40 per night. Staff at reception very helpful and kind. Pleasant surprise about bathroom toiletries by Kevin Murphy and Dyson hairdryer. Room was little bit dusty. Great location but wouldn’t stay again. Sorry guys it’s time to step up a bit.

Average overall, the hotel is very tired and needs to be refurbished, room cleaning was late afternoon, fitness room was very hot, pool area not nice. The breakfast was good and staff were pleasant.

The hotel itself is fine but a few small issues made it a bit disappointing overall. During check-in, there wasn’t much info, we asked about the pool and they didn’t mention the spa wasn’t working. Went to go to the restaurant on the Sunday evening but it was closed when the website said it was open. The room was clean, the bed was comfy.

We had a top floor room over looking the harbour, so the view was great but noisy on the balcony from the traffic. We were a bit disappointed that both resteraunts were closed during our stay, but it was nice to eat out anyway. The room had a nice bathroom with bath and shower, everything was top quality.

Cleanliness
Cleanliness and upkeep vary: several reviews cite dust, dirty bathrooms, blocked toilets, and worn fixtures, while a few note clean rooms. Some areas and furnishings feel tired and would benefit from deeper or more consistent maintenance.

I was so looking forward to staying at this hotel as do love the brand. The hotel is shabby and really needs an overhaul. Generally it needed a good clean. Dusty surfaces, dead insects in display cabinets and this was all in the public areas. The restaurant upstairs was the same with the added chandeliers that clearly had not been cleaned for a year. The bathroom, had finger and hand prints all over the Mirror and the bed needs replacing. Did not get a good night sleep during my whole stay. Large dips in the mattress and the pillows have seen better days. The room was hot, and if you turned on, the air conditioning it was ridiculously noisy. Lots of chips on furniture throughout the hotel and just generally tired. Clearly Covid affected the property, but they should’ve done a very good clean before reopening. We had a terrible experience with the valet so probably would not recommend it for the extra expense.

Seemed to be short of staff in the restaurant especially for breakfast, and those there were not always on top of the delivery of ordered food/drink. Unfortunately the toilet in the room, wasn’t working properly, so notified the front desk in the morning, but no one came to fix it. Overall a nice hotel, but not quite as sharp as it was 4 years ago

I’ve stayed at other QT Hotels in NZ and Australia, this QT Hotel (Wellington) does not meet the standard of the others. The rooms seem tired and in need of a major revamp/upgrade. Paint chips, W&T in the bathroom, curtains need a deep clean. Staff did not engage at all, it was as if they were told not to speak to the guests.

Good - Staff service, artwork/decor, location, bed size/comfort, bathroom (though slate floor very slippery), balcony view (though chairs not comfortable). Not so good - kitchenette where fridge couldn't fit a bottle of wine, no toaster, cutlery or plates. In room instructions absent especially TV. Only 1 inside comfortable chair. Kitchenette and furnishings are dated/minimal in context of $500 per night. No apparent recycling option.

Great service and everything, but very scary ambiance. Everything is painted black, making it dark and uneasy. The hallways are dark, as is the shower and room. The bathrooms are all mirrors, which makes going to the toilet very scary, as you can see all of yourself in the mirror.

First the staff were very nice. The room small, dated, old carpet and floor to ceiling mirrors on walls! Horrible. Food in bar area poor. Had breakfast in main restaurant, dry chewy scrambled eggs and the print on the plate was something sexist from the 1970s!

A beautiful hotel in a great location! So close to everything. I just wish there were more hot food options for breakfast and restaurants were unfortunately closed for dinners

We had a top floor room over looking the harbour, so the view was great but noisy on the balcony from the traffic. We were a bit disappointed that both resteraunts were closed during our stay, but it was nice to eat out anyway. The room had a nice bathroom with bath and shower, everything was top quality.
