Great little boutique hotel with a wonderful location directly across the street from the Museum and the marina and about a 15 minute walk to the cable car. Wonderful art throughout the entire hotel and beautifully curated. The hippopotamus restaurant is great with a great view. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend.

Not the best…

Room too small to turn around in. Only 1 chair and no desk or table. Primative shower. Very soft mattress. Expensive parking ($50/day!!!)

Good location down town next to the bay. Valet parking for $50 a night. Plenty of snacks and drinks in the mini bar. Room was large with a tub to soak in and curtains to keep out the light.

Business trip

Quirky hotel but it just did not hit the mark for me. Hotel is very dark inside in both corridors and rooms. My room was covered in mirrors and had no real work space in it with a desk. Breakfast was average. Did not think it was up to scratch with the other QT hotels I have stayed in

Decent option if location is most important

The hotel is nice, decently walkable with a range of food and drink options nearby. Room is nice, although not many outlets. Unfortunately the service was a little lacking. Long wait times to get questions answered at the front desk or valet. Restaurants closing well in advance of the posted hours. It seems that in trying to create a vibe, the hotel has perhaps overlooked the fact that at its core this is a hotel hosting people from out of town.

I chose the cheapest room QT Superior King and felt the room lacked some basic stuff - plates, cutlery, which made self-catering harder than it needed to be. The room may be ok for a business traveler who is dining out, but I wouldn't choose this room again. If, to get the basics, I need to pay more I'd look at other hotel options in Wellington as there's likely to be better value elsewhere.
