“The name says it all”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed here for 5 nights in January, in a studio room overlooking Te Papa Museum. Just outside the heart of the city, but still within walking distance of everything, the accommodation was very comfortable and had everything we needed, including a washer/dryer. It's fourth floor location made for a very quiet stay. Highly recommended. Information provided by the owners included a recommendation to a nearby restaurant called 'Two Souls' where we enjoyed a lovely meal at a reasonable price. Try the seafood chowder - you won't be disappointed. A large New World supermarket nearby for all supplies was a bonus, and public transport is only one street back. The extensive redeveloped waterfront area is just behind Te Papa and is great for strolling.

Room Tip: Try to get one overlooking Te Papa Museum.

“A really great find”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

people found this review helpful

This hotel has it all: great staff, lovely rooms, nice view of the harbor, washing machine and dryer, wifi, and it's two minutes from Te Papa and a short walk to Cuba St and downtown. Very up to date, it's on the top floor of an office building with Lexis/Nexis for a neighbor. We were lucky to find it.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the harbor side.

“Fantastic location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Location was perfect for going to shows and the many restaurants. Big bonus was free car parking. Very quiet even although it is surrounded by busy roads

“Quiet, near harbour, secure, modern, outstanding property”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

I have searched weeks online for the perfect place to spend 7 nights in Wellington. I found it here. Opposite Te Papa, on the 4th floor of an office building, this is what is called a "boutique" hotel appartment. It sure felt like home, with full kitchen, huge bathroom (double showers!), washer and dryer in the huge bathroom. Very comfortable beds and bedding. Large living room with patio (though too windy during our stay to enjoy it much). Serviced daily. Free parking at lot across the street. Free broadband Internet. 2 TVs, DVD player. Secure entrance to building, elevator and 4th floor.
Quiet if on harbour side of the building. We were in apartment A, a one-bedroom apartment. We walked everywhere, supermarket 5-min walk away, outdoor market on weekends next to Te Papa, downtown shops, museums, funicular to Mt. Victoria... this place is a hidden gem!

Room Tip: We chose harbour side as the Litchfield Street side could be noisy at night. Place was pricey, but c...
