I had the pleasure of staying at the Amora Hotel recently. The room was very comfortable and clean. I couldn't fault it, and on that basis, I would love to stay there again. However, when I was checking in, I was confused when I was told I had booked two rooms, and that one was still to be paid for(I... More

I have to be honest. The Amora wasn't my first choice, mainly on account of some Tripadvisor reviews. But I call it as I see it and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Let's start with the basics. The king size bed was extremely comfortable with it's cris linen and feather pillows. Partner transfer was minimal. This gets... More

Our room on the 6th floor was very comfortable, with fantastic views over the harbour. And the bathroom was great, very clean with both a bath and a shower. The shower had great pressure and temperature, and my husband was grateful to soak in the bath after a particularly chilly Wellington day. The hotel is handy to everything we wanted... More

We stayed just the one night in an ensuite king room on the 5th floor. The hotel benefits from a good location with a good view across the water. The room was as one would expect - sizeable, clean, modern and in good decorative order. The ensuite bath/shower room was perfectly good but a little tired having been recently cleaned... More

Check in was smooth and we were very pleased to be offered free parking when we queried the price. We stayed in a Club Room on the 9th floor which was very spacious and well appointed. The views are magnificent and we spent quite a lot of time just looking out over the beautiful harbour. There was a bath as... More

Unit was modern, spacious and nicely furnished. Had a good view across Wellington Harbour and could see the Inter-Island ferries come and go. The restaurant was right up with the very best I have dined in. Service was great and overall I felt it was well worth the price paid.

I wanted something special for my wife's birthday and in looking at internet offerings I saw a "run away with your husband" offer from Amora which I found represented very good value for money. It comprised an overnight stay in a superior room with complimentary sparkling wine and handmade chocolates from a Christchurch specialist, dinner for two with two courses... More
