The Viv Hotel Wellington

“Great Hotel in Wellington”

Great location, staff and value for money

“Budget Accom in Downtown Wellington”

The walls are extremely thin - I was kept awake by a woman crying loudly in the adjoining room (? 206) on my second night, TV on my third night.

The walls are extremely thin - I was kept awake by a woman crying loudly in the adjoining room (? 206) on my second night, TV on my third night. The furniture is lovely, however the bed is extremely high off the ground. The lack of fans in the bathroom/ensuite is an issue, with the whiff of mould from the bathroom discernible. The cleanliness was okay, the kettle had not been emptied when I checked in. Other than this and the general lack of any human staff, the rooms were quite lovely: comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, decent amenities and appliances. The front desk reception person, when present, was very helpful and lovely.

When I booked this hotel it was called the Microtel Wyndham but by the time I arrived it had been rebranded as the Viv. It advertised as having parking but omitted to mention the fee - $38 NZ overnight but at least my car with my large suitcase in the boot was in a locked car park overnight. I had booked an inside Queen room so was aware the room had no windows. It was fine for one night but if I stayed longer I would need a window. There were some weird hooks behind the door to hang clothes on - no hangers or wardrobe. The Shower room / toilet had a glass wall which I would hate if I was travelling with someone, but solo it is fine, although the shower smelt strongly of mildew. There was a kettle and iron and small fridge in my room. There was storage under the bed and sockets next to the bed which were handy. The bed was very comfortable, the WiFi worked and the shower was hot and strong. My only issue was my arrival - it was about 6 pm and the doors were locked with an intercom. However due to the commuter traffic behind me and the intercom being set for a 6’6” man not a 5’2” woman, even though the receptionist was answering I could not hear him. Eventually he came out to the doors and let me in, but I believe this needs a rethink!
