Top Papakowhai Hotel Reviews

West Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Reception staff were great! "

Oaks Wellington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Immaculate clean room, very efficient staff, quick check in. Great location, but be aware that parking garage ( if you use it) is VERY tight. Even with a small SUV we were manoeuvring carefully to get round corners. Wonderful bed, great bathroom great view . We had a Studio Apartment which had all we needed, inc fridge, pots, cutlery etc etc, all new and spotless. Only observation was that there was only one chair. We didn’t use the restaurant but it looked good value. I would definitely recommend and visit again."

InterContinental Wellington by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great location, beautiful lobby but the room on the 2nd floor was dusty. Dusty baseboards, the TV screen was so dusty that I could write “dust me” on it with my finger and visibly see it. The glass credenza under the TV was dusty and the shoe/luggage storage had dust piled in the corner about 5 inches across. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice, but definitely needs a cleaning."

TRYP by Wyndham Wellington, Tory Street

8/10 Good

"Main shops and the Te Papa museum within a short walk. If you are a light sleeper I could hear music two of the 3 nights until about 03:50 in the morning. We were on the 4th floor.. When I raised this with the reception I was told it must be one of the surrounding bars which are licenced until 4:00. Room was very clean and made up daily. No breakfast. We tried to access the “free drinks” in the lobby a couple of times but locked. Staff friendly. "
