“A new home in Wellington NZ”

I spend most of my time in Asia hotels where you are spoilt for 5 star options at 3 star prices.

I spend most of my time in Asia hotels where you are spoilt for 5 star options at 3 star prices. So it was good to find a hotel in Wellington that didn't break the bank but was nice enough to warrant repeat stays. Lovely, spacious room with kitchenette; very quiet thanks to double glazing; nice bathroom with decent toiletries; and a comfy bed that gave me some of my best sleeps when travelling. Also a guest laundry on the floor. Staff were friendly, eager to help, and accommodating of my special requests. I try not to be demanding but I did have a lot of complicated needs on this long stay, and all were met. The hotel is in a handy location, 10-12 mins stroll into the CBD. There's also a bus stop close by, on the Johnsonville or Grenada route. I didn't bother with nearby restaurants. There's a small supermarket in the Railway Station and a big supermarket on Molesworth St where you can get groceries and ready to eat supplies. You can also buy cheap kitchenware if needed at the nearby Mary Potter Hospice shop and donate it back when finished.

“Nice clean simple hotel”

I stayed here as it was close to the ferry terminal and I was happily surprised. Super friendly check in and a really tastefully decorated room. Tea and coffee making and a fridge and a microwave if you wanted to cook. Lovely toiletries. A short 10 min walk to town. The only downside is limited res… lisää

I stayed here as it was close to the ferry terminal and I was happily surprised. Super friendly check in and a really tastefully decorated room. Tea and coffee making and a fridge and a microwave if you wanted to cook. Lovely toiletries. A short 10 min walk to town. The only downside is limited restaurants close by - I do not recommend the Vietnamese at all. It was horrendous but this hotel was well worth the price. Nice and quiet overnight

“Not a 4.5 star hotel in our view”

I have no idea how this is a 4 5 star rating hotel. There is no on-site restaurant, gym, etc. It is a 20 min walk to the cbd. I'm not sure how Accor do their rating, but worth checking what services they provide. The hotel supplied us with a breakfast voucher to a basic cafe across the road, but w… lisää

I'm not sure how Accor do their rating, but worth checking what services they provide. The hotel supplied us with a breakfast voucher to a basic cafe across the road, but we couldn't eat there as they didn't open until 8am on Saturdays and we needed to eat earlier. There are no restaurants nearby.

“Just a pass mark”

Great location for a one night stay. However, the sofa bed was not that good and only had 1 sheet laid on it for use. No pillows or blankets for our daughter to use. When asked the staff did not really respond. We also only had 2 towels for the 3 people we booked for and were made to feel like we w… lisää

Great location for a one night stay. However, the sofa bed was not that good and only had 1 sheet laid on it for use. No pillows or blankets for our daughter to use. When asked the staff did not really respond. We also only had 2 towels for the 3 people we booked for and were made to feel like we were asking for something out of the ordinary when we asked for another towel- this was before we discovered the lack of blankets and pillows for the sofa bed. And there was no bath mat for the bathroom. All in all just a pass mark. It was comfy enough for two out of 3 of us and as we were up early anyway the proximity of the train tracks did not bother us.
