Our one bed apartment was perfect. The kitchen area had a dishwasher, small hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, toaster and kettle. There was a washing machine and a dryer in the bathroom. The a/c was quietly efficient. There was no street noise. The nearest supermarket was only a few mins away. Staff were friendly.

Positioned city centre makes it a very convenient place to stay. The staff were helpful especially when we were checking out. The room was well appointed and relatively new. The bedroom area is however a little cramped.

Our stay was very pleasant. The lobby is up on 4 on a busy street, but once you have that figured out – it’s a great location, in the heart of Wellington’s CBD. We were steps from the Wellington Cable Car, which gives you access to the Botanical Garden and Zealandia. Te Papa was a 15-minute walk away. I don’t know if they have food at the hotel, but we didn’t really check as there was loads of dining nearby. The hotel communication was great – they answered our questions beforehand and even offered to set up a bed in the additional room for our son. The in-room washer and dryer unit was handy for laundry. Rooms were spacious, clean, and climate-controlled; beds were comfy; hotel staff was friendly and helpful. It was an excellent stay and we'd definitely stay here again.
