Top Oriental Bay Hotel Reviews

Rydges Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Was unsure of how to use the aircon - staff were there in a heartbeat and solved the problem on the spot!"

DoubleTree by Hilton Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful property in a very convenient location to the nice shops on Lambton Quay, the Wharf, Cuba Street, the Beehive, ferries & more. The 1930's building & its rooms has loads of charm from the large wooden banister in the main staircase, to the old elevators doors, along with beautifully chosen tiles & fixtures in each room and public space. The breakfast was exceptional as well. I highly recommend this hotel & would stay here again."

Ramada by Wyndham Wellington Taranaki Street

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend. I extended my stay as these apartments were perfect for my trip. I booked a one bedroom apartment. It was very warm in winter, decent kitchen (including stovetop), washer and dryer, great location to walk every where. Car parking is extra $ and uses a car stacker. The staff - from front desk through to cleaners - were so helpful and friendly. My room was on the back, so noise wasn’t bad and it seems a new build so sound proofed. Garbage collectors came in the morning - but thats common for being right in the city."
