The City Life was a great place to stay. Staff were so helpful and friendly, room was spacious, clean and super quiet considering it is in central Wellington. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, plenty of towels, the list goes on. My friend who was with me booked to stay there again in a couple of months and I have recommended it to other friends and family.

Didn’t like the room outlook onto an ugly old wall with half dead sparsely planted greenery that didn’t hide it. Averaging over $500 per night that’s not what we expect. Have stayed here a few times over the last 17 years since we left NZ, but this will be the last stay. There are far nicer choices.
