Our room window faced the side of the hotel and the extractor fan (possibly the kitchen). It was noisy and as if we did not have enough from the rain we had when we were there and on our way down to the South Island. The room rather small and a bit dated. The TV remote was not working for... More

The hotel is in a great location and has lovely views of Wellington and the sea. Our room was clean and tidy and had some of the views mentioned earlier. The hotel is a little tired. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner in the restaurant and received good service during our stay. Parking was secure and cost $15 which was fine.

Decor is a little outdated and there is no air con/windows don't open very far but if you are planning to be out and about this is a great hotel to base yourself from. Superrmarket directly across the road and walking distance from Courtney Place and Te Papa/Waterfront areas A little on the expensive side for what it was but... More

Great location handy to every thing. Staff friendly and helpful, no complaints regarding the bar service. Parking at $15 OK, but perhaps as a customer service could be free. Great views but the place most likely need a bit of a make-over to bring it into the era. Still no complaints about the rate.

We selected this property for our 3 week New Zealand vacation based upon Trip Advisor reviews and price—trying to find the “sweet spot”. We held all our reviews until the end of the trip in hopes of reasonable comparisons across the country, factoring in the standards we found typical in New Zealand (for example, free, unlimited internet is not the...

My husband and I stayed just the one night. The location is fantastic and the parking at $15.00 a night was a lot cheaper than other central city hotels. Lovely view of the city. Room was fine but I agree with the other reviews that they are outdated and could do with a coat of paint etc especially the hallways!... More

A group of us - four friends from Europe and I - stayed here for a couple of nights in January. The location is terrific and the rooms were quite adequate. We had a weekend package which included breakfast in the price, and this was great value. The food was good, but the service in the bar and restaurant bordered... More

We found this hotel to be convenient to all we wanted to do during our stay in Wellington. Being near the Te Papa Museum and the harbour front was ideal. We ate our first nights meal there and breakfast the next morning and both were very good.

This is the second time we've stayed in this older style hotel and we found the staff extremely helpful. The location is superb and our room had a fantastic view overlooking the city, harbour and we could see the stunning Christmas tree. The room was a little dated in its decor but spacious and comfortable. The shower worked well but... More
