Top Island Bay Hotel Reviews

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great central city location with onsite parking . Although that also does make it quite noisy. They need to sort out curtains in the rooms as big gaps down the sides which makes it like daylight with all the artificial lights outside."

DoubleTree by Hilton Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at Doubletree in the past month. We love this hotel, which is incredibly welcoming, friendly, comfortable and convenient. The restaurant staff even recognised us and welcome us back! The parking is great, the welcome cookie delicious and the staff are very helpful and efficient. We’ll be back again soon!"

Rydges Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Our travel changed a the last minute and we ended up arriving early morning instead of mid afternoon- Gem (Jen?) was so lovely and helpful. All the front desk staff were great. Such a lovely hotel, would’ve liked to have stayed longer. Good facilities (although the spa wouldn’t get warm which was a shame so couldn’t use it - and was one of the main reasons I selected this hotel! But excellent experience overall."
