The hotel was very convenient for distance to the TSB arena where we were going. The hotel was easy to find, we don’t live in Wellington. Parking in the open car park out the back of the property was no problem. Staff were friendly, especially the lovely lady of Italian heritage who checked us in and later served us at the bar and dinner . Choices for dinner and breakfast were adequate. We would stay there again.

This is a perfect location if you wish to visit Te Papa and Wellington waterfront. Plus Courtenay Place and access to restaurants and cafes is right on the door step. Not 5 star but convenience makes up for it. Will definitely be back again and again.

Central location for Te Papa, waterfront and shopping. Staff were all pleasant. Big room. Downside is no air con and no fan in the bathroom. The windows open. Probably not normally a problem in Wellington but it was warm so the room was warm. A bonus for us: fresh milk whenever we asked for it. I would recommend and stay again.

The property was central to everything I went to. Plenty of parking for vehicles. It was CubaDupa weekend so I expected some noise but there were people (possibly outside) who were talking and laughing (nothing wrong with that except they went on until at least 3am.) Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and had all that I needed. I would stay there again.

Good value for money for the location in central Wellington. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Having carparking on site was a drawcard. From there it was an easy walk to Takina Convention Centre, Te Papa and Courtney Place restaurants and cafes.
