We stayed 2 nights at the Brentwood for a conference. Staff were excellent, rooms adequate and clean. An older style bathroom, comfortable beds and very spacious room. Close to the airport so you do get a bit of noise from planes in the mornings. Rooms not very sound proofed. Worth a stay if you want to be out at airport.

I have used this hotel a lot over the last few years, I have also tried its competitors like the airport motel, and I can say with out a doubt the Bentwood is better value for money. It is an older hotel but defiantly not too shabby most areas like the bar and restaurant have been recently refurbished. the rooms are quite large and the standard rooms come with a queen and a single bed as standard.

My wife and I have stayed here before having to catch 6am flights to oz with both our small boys and we all comfortably fit in a standard room. They will also add a roll away bed to sleep 4 easily but I cant remember if they charge for this.

The service is good, not outstanding but certainly not bad either. The staff are all friendly nothing seems to be much of a problem. Restaurant is on the pricy side but more affordable meals are available from the bar menu and these can be eaten in the restaurant too.

it has a nice outdoor pool too but unless its a hot summer day I doubt you will get to use it in Wellington!

We almost always use their free 24hour airport shuttle too which runs regularly and has saved having to worry about a taxi at 4am!

Overall I don't think you can go wrong booking this hotel.

I stayed in this hotel on the weekend of the Rugby World Cup quarter finals. The staff were most helpful and it was bar one other hotel it was the most wheelchair friendly I came across in New Zealand.

Went looking for a hotel near the airport as we had a flight leaving at 6:15am. An old Wellingtonian I worked with suggested the suburb and my web search came up with this place. Reasonable prices during the World Cup were appreciated! Accommodation was clean and large, but beds were a bit soggy. Showers were new-ish but terrible pressure. Room service was fast and tasty, at reasonable prices too. Loved the free shuttle to the airport in the morning. Took the city bus into town to explore as not much to see in "downtown" Kilbirnie. Two out of three reception staff we dealt with were very helpful and friendly. Layout of the hotel felt a bit like a repurposed old-age home. Would stay again for airport proximity.
