Top Newtown Hotel Reviews

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."

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

10/10 Excellent

"Unfortunate but still gotta pay for parking. Set cost per night, tight parks but town is town 😅 Barr that, we had a great time. Would definitely book again through Expedia. Saved some cash, enjoyed the breakfast. Good selection for food, and staff were happy to help and refill where needed."

Bolton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed the well appointed room, it had everything a business traveler might need. I appreciated how quiet the room was, super comfy bed and good water pressure in the shower. Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Decent hotel gym, and it was good to have an informal cafe downstairs and a fancier restaurant upstairs. Thank you for a very pleasant if too brief stay."

Quest 256 Lambton

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent small apartment hotel, great for 2 nights. Good large bed, well appointed kitchen, including washer dryer, fridge, microwave, ironing board and iron, hob and sink. Crockery and irons for 3, dish soap, cloths and tea towels! Possibly the cleanest room I have ever stopped in, it smelt new on arrival. Room was refreshed (bins emptied and new toilet roll) they don’t make your bed but you can request it. Only negative was no in room safe, but not really an issue. Easy access to busses, the waterfront and easy level walk from railway station. Perfect, would stay again"

Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Easy to get in and out. Super close to New World and city centre for food. Restaurant on site was over priced and the tap beer wasn't great. TV channels had major interference with weather so couldn't watch TV. Bit disappointing. Shower must be set on a temp as I had it as hot as it would go and it wasn't hot enough. All in all, great stay."
