Reception welcome was wonderful. Top marks. Entry foyer very tired. We had to wash down our bathroom bench as it had large sticky rings on it. Really dirty ironing board cover. Surprised at now no breakfast option. We had been regular guests before moving to Wellington 8 years ago, and were amazed in the difference in that time. We needed to leave at 5.15 am for an early start, and we had to try 3 times to get the front door button to open for us.

Underwhelmed

To be honest i was disappointed. We stayed here as we needed an accessible room for my wife who had a broken ankle. One of the reasons we chose this place is the advertise breakfast available. It did not appear to be avail at all and while there used to be a restaurant, it was long closed. The hotel is very tired and in need of an upgrade. Our room decor was very much 1980's. The room was also very cold. The aircon would only blow cold air. There was only 2 switches and a thermostat so not hard to figure out how to operate. It just wouldn't blow warm air. To make it worse it was a very stormy night and you could feel the cold draft coming through the joinery. The staff interaction was very limited as we were restricted to our room. They did have a wheelchair which is a bonus. But it was old and falling to bits. The wheels were extremely loose and there were numerous broken spokes. I used it only because i had no choice. In summary, the hotel is in a good location, but is tired, and an ok place to stay as the cleanliness is absolutely fine, i don't believe it is value for money.

Lovely location, hotel is tired, needs a refresh, I stayed in hotels around the world and I would not rate this hotel as 4.5 stars, no restaurant, mix of people living there, room cold and generally the hotel is in need of a refurbish, could have stayed at the Hilton for the same price. Not worth the money to be honest
