Hotels With Spa in Wellington, New Zealand

My partner and I stayed at Hotel Waterloo & Backpackers for a weekend in Wellington. We had a private room with ensuite bathroom. The room was tidy and clean, located at the end of the hallway (quiet - Bonus point!). The staff was friendly as well. The Hotel is in a perfect location: close to the Beehive and in walking distance to the CBD, Te Papa, Cable Car etc. Can recommend!

We stayed at the Ramada Wellington for 5 nights. We had no heat in our room, the temperature dropped to 14C in the room. The only option the staff gave us was a portable heater and some blankets. No offer to move rooms. We spoke to staff everyday about the heat and were told it would be fixed. The heat wasn't fixed until our last night which then they finally offer a new room to us. For our trouble, they gave us one free night. There was a lack of problem solving with the staff at this location. When we asked about the heat of moving rooms, we were greeted with blank stares. As for the room, it was a suite, differently needed a deep cleaning. There were a few weird smears on the walls and the carpet quickly blackened the bottom of socks. Only redeeming feature was the in-suite laundry.

Really nice hotel. Rooms very big. We were in room 812 which overlooked the harbour. We had breakfast at the hotel and the choice of breakfast was one of the best I have seen. Hot food, fruit, yoghurt, pastries and cereals along with a variety of tea available as well. We only had one problem with our stay and that was parking our rental car. The hotel charge 30 dollars per day to park which we thought was ridiculously high and should be free for guests. Parking was, however, free at the front of the hotel from 8pm to 8am. Outside of these hours there is a charge.

It's an older hotel and the halls smell a little funky but that quickly fades. The rooms show some signs of wear but are clean and have all the things you need. The bed was clean and comfy. The dining room was cozy and inviting. There seemed to be a little confusion in the kitchen, I know places are short staffed, but the food that arrived I really enjoyed. It is close to lots of things, I was on foot for this trip. The value was good for the price and I would stay here again.

This hostel is right in the city center, there is a grocery store across the road, and it is a few minutes walk to the Papa Museum. The whole hostel and our room were very clean. We were impressed with the fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, and we felt great with a hairdryer and a straight hair stick in the ladies bathroom. The staff was friendly and you could still have a very affordable breakfast at the hostel. When you are in Wellington, we definitely recommend you to stay at this hotel.

The room is very small, and it feels like it is only suitable for one person. It was really crowded for my husband and I to live in it, and we didn't have much luggage. It was very noisy in the middle of the night facing the street, and the most important thing is that there is no air conditioning! Fortunately, it was not very hot at night, otherwise it would be really unacceptable. At that time, we also considered whether to move to their hotel, but we only stayed for one night, so we thought about it and gave up. The bed is right there when you open the door ~ ah. The service is good, and the studio is definitely not suitable for honeymoon or something like that.

My partner and I stayed overnight in room 316 last night. We arrived and was quickly given our key card. The lady at the desk seemed nice enough. We got to the third floor and noticed the carpet in the hallway was filthy and lumpy. We felt like we would trip over! Entering the room, the linens were clean and the room had obviously had a 5 minute clean, but parts that were missed bothered us the most. On the textured ceiling, there was a thick layer of dust, so thick in fact, that it looked like dust bunnies were about to fall off, as shown in the photo. This made for an uneasy sleep, as it seemed very unhygenic. Splatters above the toilet and on the mirror in the bathroom were also noticed, as well as black spots from the ceiling due to mould. Wifi and the TV worked fine, but the heating element in our jug had turned black on the inside, and black bits were showing in our cups, so tea was out of the question. The next morning we had breakfast. This was the best part of our stay. Good options and plenty of food. Overall 2 stars. For this price, you'd expect better.

Stunning hotel with funky art throughout. Right on Cuba street so a short walk for shopping and restaurants. Excellent service throughout the hotel from staff. A lovely buffet style breakfast or cocktails from the bar with beautiful dining areas. Will definately be returning.

I have just had a one night stay at this hotel and splurged on a Junior Suite which was well worth it. The room was beautiful...better than the photos suggested which is really unusual!! Due to current low staffing levels (the bane of hospitality everywhere atm) they currently don't offer valet parking and this was the low-light of the stay. Obviously I completely understand the staffing issues but.... On arrival (at approx 10.30pm due to a 4+ hour ferry delay) I was dismayed to find the doors locked but staff were available to let me in. I unloaded and my bags were taken to my room and I had to park the car myself. Other than being really tired and not up for negotiating Wellington CBD's notorious one way system to get to the car-park, this was fine and not usually something I would gripe about. The car-park is actually directly attached to the hotel which is perfect, but I had to drive around the block in a counter-intuitive manner to get to the car-park. I knowingly drove the wrong way down a 1-way St to make my life easier as it was okay to do it at that time of night with deserted streets. An hour or so later I called for room service (several times) and no-one answered the phone on any occasion. I knew they were short-staffed so no problem, I wandered down to reception to order a meal. I had the chicken laksa which was nice. The midday check out was wonderful and check-out was seamless. But I had a major issue getting out of the car-park and I'm not sure if this is my fault or the Hiltons fault. On arrival I was given an information sheet regarding the parking and this included the exit code. I committed this to memory and off I went. However, on entering the code at the car-park exit point the barrier did not rise. Traffic built up behind me rapidly and my blood pressure and stress levels ramped up accordingly. I had the correct code and on subsequent attempts to get out, tried the code followed by the # key and also tried the code followed by the tick/green light key but no dice. I tried calling reception but got no answer and was just about in tears when a kind man (about 5 cars back on a narrow exit point in a typical inner city parking building) walked down and used his card to let me out. Thank god for him whoever he was. This was really stressful as I had been on the road for 2 weeks and was about to embark on the last leg of my journey and just didn't need the stress. I was particularly annoyed they did not answer the phone when I called. I called a 2nd time but by the time I got some-one on the phone the good samaritan had let me out. I definitely had the correct code to exit the car-park but was not aware I needed to press the tick/green key afterwards (although...I did try this and it didn't work... I may have entered this final step too late because I didn't know it was needed). I can't recall seeing this instruction on the info sheet I was given. Hence...it may have been my fault...or not?? Either

We didn't get what we had booked. Wanted 2 rooms with 2 single beds in each, next to each other. Our rooms were on separate floors, one had a king and a single trundle bed in it. We had sent emails prior requesting this, had confirmations back ensuring our request was met, only to be told on arrival, after we had paid, that one room had been moved to another floor! Receptionist didn't seem to care that we were very disappointed. When we went to second (upgraded) room, the bathroom door had come off it's roller making it hard to open or shut, and came right off at one point, dangerous as was heavy solid glass. Asked reception to have it fixed next day, got back that night to find it hadn't, asked again following morning, was fixed next day.

It is incomparable to Lu Nei, and the price is very expensive. It’s the feeling of a Motel 168, but the place where her daughter is going to class next day

Awesome to finally have a decent hotel in Lower Hutt. The rooms are beautifully furnished but the couch is not very comfortable. The biggest disappointment how we was the service. Ltd English at reception. Dining room shut early on two occasion. Car parking over subscribed despite us paying in advance for it. The chair in our room was broken. I called at night to advise them and was told to come down in the morning and tell reception them when the maintenance man was on site. I asked if they could leave a message over night for him and was told no - best if I manage it myself. The gym that comes with it is also 500 metres walk away rather than being able to use the gym right next door.

We have stayed here before and it was certainly better 5 years ago. It is now very minimalist.The bed was horrible. It was worn out and uncomfortable. We had to put the duvet under us to try and soften the blow. Then we didn't have a blanket to put over us. Ok, we could have asked but we shouldn't have to. The cooking element had two burners but it was so small that you could only put one pot on it at once. They only supplied a frypan and one pot. The furniture was awful. A basic table that was meant to be a desk. Old style square thick timber. The shower rose was small and very low. They are also ”cheap” nopt having pay way giving some lame excuse of people's limits on their cards. Basicslly, they didn't want to pay the fee. Overall, it was clean but very ordinary and we won't be staying there again.

Cannot recommend this place more highly. The cleanliness was so noticeable as one walked into the unit. There was a problem with the wifi that the proprietress immediately dealt with. I also left my electric toothbrush behind by mistake, Jodie made sure it was sent back to me and although I asked twice for the cost of returning so that I might reimburse she just ignored me and returned it to me.

It's a great place to stay a night before taking the ferry. However, I was a little embarrassed because the fire emergency bell rang in the early morning for no reason and there was no one to contact. After about 30 minutes, a staff member came and the problem was resolved.

It's a nice place to spend a night. A drink in the bar before dinner helps. I don't know much about the food as I had a pizza only. An average meal. Oh, the conference facilities are good.
