Top Bucket Fountain Hotel Reviews

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

8/10 Good

"Was very convenient having washer/dryer in room. Parking is available but offsite parking is very tight (something to consider if you have a larger vehicle). Location was convenient to the CBD (be prepared for hilly walking)"

Adina CityLife Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"We had an overnight stay at this hotel and loved it. The location was fabulous, reception staff were friendly and having a kitchen within our 2 bedroom accommodation was a bonus. Would certainly stay with you again"

Naumi Studio Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Great location."

Travelodge Hotel Wellington

8/10 Good

"Great location. Very small room but adequate."

Oaks Wellington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room and Hotel were awesome, carpark not so much allocated parking but found other cars parked in it twice"

TRYP by Wyndham Wellington, Tory Street

8/10 Good

"Overall good. Friendly and helpful staff at check-in. Clean room. Good location. Quiet at night even with a busy street outside. Bed was alright but not super comfortable but it did ok for a couple of nights"

The Viv Hotel Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here last year, but just for one night, and must have been upgraded, as it was quite a large room. But the downside was that it was at the fornt of the hotel, on Vivian Street, and sadly quite noisy. This time, I was here for a week, in a basic room. And I was more than happy with it. Although not a lot of room to snack and store clothes, it was immaculately clean and modern - and most importantly of all, quiet. The only downside was that being on Level 1, it had the carpark right behind it, so you would get some occasional noise. But so cozy and relaxing. Can't really rate the hotel too much on it's facilities, as they are vey basic, but what they have is fine, and the hotel is extremely clean. If you utilise the hotel's limited overnight parking, it can be a bit pricey, but that's Wellington. Street parking is available in the surrounding areas, but I would suggest downloading the PayMyPark app to make it easier. Overnight it's free, but at least with the app, you can buy parking from your phone without having to go out to your car. It's in a great location, with an easy walk to many great restaurants, bars, and cafes nearby. A few shady characters around, but just stick to the main streets, and you'll be fine. Will always stay here in Wellington when I'm in town. Really like this place."

Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT

10/10 Excellent

"A really special place to stay. Love the art work!"

Naumi Hotel Wellington

8/10 Good

"Awesome quirky decor in this boutique hotel.Good location but the car park was a bit of a challenge. Bar & restaurant looked great ,although we did not have a meal here."
