I booked a studio room but became a two-bedroom flat. What a surprise!, also the view out in 13 floor is so amazing, I have the best view of the city skyline. I totally recommend, and will be staying here when I come back to Wellington. Thank you.

Property was in a handy location, easy walk to the waterfront, shops, cable car and museum. Staff were friendly and helpful. Two bedroom apartment was comfortable and spacious although the bathroom was quite small. Parking was across the road in a Wilsons Car Park - $40/night if arranged through Quest on Johnston.

Overall a great place to stay. Very clean and nice up to date decor. Staff very friendly. Well equipped. Downsides were no aircon so was too warm overnight. And everytime someone showered the plumbing system made loud sound like a foghorn which woke us up and was at an intrusive pitch. If you’re not bothered about that then this place is good value for money and in a great location for walking around the city.
