Had a great visit to Wellington. Enjoyed the hotel and the service was excellent. As with most Hotels we have stayed at recently they are a bit dated. Room was very clean, room service was good and the bathroom was excellent and looked to have been renovated in recent years. All in all very happy with our stay.

Great location and very comfy beds. A little tired and the neighbours plumbing was louder than expected. Huge wait time for check in and check out but staff were lovely.

Great place to stay. Very clean and well presented. Only issue was walls were very thin and I had to listen to a baby in the room next door screaming for over 2 hours on Saturday night.

Not the best room (internal view). Bed good. Bathroom average. Had a hostel feel and smelt like paint. Was cold after Bali and aircon didn’t really heat it up much. Service very good and the bar restaurant area is attractive. Didn’t try restaurant as lots of options nearby. Good value.

A lovely place to stay. The only negative was that there were some very noisy people in the corridor whilst we were trying to sleep.
