Top Carter Observatory Hotel Reviews
Gilmer Apartment Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"This was the 2nd time I have stayed here this trip. Great starting/ ending point if you are taking the Ferry. Make sure you contact the hotel if you think that you will arrive late."
Quest 256 Lambton
10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was in the perfect location, very clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The bed was super comfortable, making for a great stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again!"
Oaks Wellington Hotel
8/10 Good
"Lovely place to stay, great location. Don't enter their car park if your vehicle is larger than a mini though!"
InterContinental Wellington by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"It's not the best hotel we've ever stayed at, but it's definitely the best in Wellington. Comfortable, clean rooms with nice view of the harbour. Byredo products were a nice touch. Good service, excellent food and drinks. Wish the TVs would have been Smart TVs with Netflix/Disney etc as it was weird to have to watch films on our laptop."
Novotel Wellington
10/10 Excellent
"Was all great for 1 night before early ferry"
Sofitel Wellington
10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Sofitel Wellington and honestly couldn't fault it. From the moment we arrived, everything felt polished, comfortable and just a little bit special. The room was beautiful and incredibly comfortable, and the whole hotel has that lovely sense of understated luxury without feeling stuffy or pretentious. The staff were excellent — friendly, professional and genuinely attentive. We particularly loved the little touches that made the stay feel special, including the evening turn-down service and the unexpected chamomile tea and chocolates. Those small details really do make a difference. We had cocktails and fish and chips at La Serre before taking a walk down to the harbour, which made for a perfect Wellington evening. The hotel is also wonderfully located for exploring the waterfront and central Wellington. What I loved most was that Sofitel didn't just feel like somewhere we slept while visiting Wellington. The hotel itself became part of the experience. It felt like a proper little luxury escape. We came home feeling completely relaxed and already talking about when we could come back. Would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended. ❤️"
Quest Atrium Serviced Apartments
8/10 Good
"Good location, apartment was a reasonable size but dated. Otherwise fine for a weekend stay. Road noise (apartment faced the Terrace) was noticeable in the lounge area during the day but fine with the bedroom door closed and with earplugs."
Adina CityLife Wellington
10/10 Excellent
"Stayed there multiple time me, bidlg 2 bedroom apartment for 5 people, very spacious, very clean, excellent team, right in the middle of the city, best price for the biggest apartment. Will come back"
Rydges Wellington
8/10 Good
"This is an ok hotel. But don't advertise parking then say no we don't have any and we cldnt accommodate a ute anyway. We booked here as they advertised parking. Also fix the power sockets so they don't hang out of the wall and most modern hotels have USB plugs. This hotel doesn't."
