I stayed in a room with two double beds. One of the beds had a very comfortable mattress, but the other one—especially the left side—was not as good and could use some improvement. Also, the fan in the bathroom wasn’t working, which caused the room to get pretty foggy during showers. Aside from those issues, everything else was okay. The staff were very helpful—thank you!

Great hotel

Always love staying here! Disappointed with the parking situation, first in, first served. In communications regarding parking, we should have been informed there was a function on for 3 days so there wouldnt be any parking available. Great clean room and comfy bed. Shower didnt stay at same temp, kept going hot and cold both evening and morning. Great view of harbour. Breakfast was held in another room due to function and there werent enough tables. Buffet had a great selection, very yummy!

Good hotel in great location

For a family group the room we chose, with one queen and two single beds was ideal. The room was tidy and clean. The location is very handy for the Te Papa end of Wellington too. Parking is available for a fee on a first come, first served basis.

The view of the city skyline, the boats and the water were simply fabulous. Will definitely stay here when I return.
