Top Wellington Central Business District Hotel Reviews

Novotel Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The rooms were clean, modern and very well maintained, with daily servicing which was greatly appreciated. The on-site valet parking was a fantastic convenience, and the hotel's central location made it easy to get around and enjoy everything nearby. All of the staff were friendly, welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay, making the overall experience even more enjoyable. We would happily stay here again and would definitely recommend this hotel to others!"

Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT

8/10 Good

"Location was close to waterfront, Te Papa Museum, Takina Wellington Convention and Exhibition Centre, short walk to Courtenay Place and handy to New World for drinks and snacks etc... Appreciated the sauna, gym, pool and spa. Valet parking was handy. Staff were friendly and had good advice on where to eat. The room was spacious, and addition of a small couch (rather than a metal chair with no cushion) to watch the sea views from would be nice. Bathroom was tight with shower and bath. Plenty counter space for all my makeup/toiletries. Room had a well equipped kitchenette with dishwasher. With all the dark wood finishes, some more lights inside wardrobe/cubbies or mirror glass would help with that. There was washer/dryer (that I could not figure out - that's a ME problem, not the hotel's fault). I could not hear any noise from rooms around me. All in all, I would happily stay here again."

Quest Wellington

8/10 Good

"The check in didn’t go as planned as they have NO onsite parking and the loading zone near the property was in use. We paid for parking to go back and work out what to do and had to use their trolley to offload two blocks away. Leaving today was much easier as the loading zone was available. The biggest disappointment was that we weren’t aware there was no onsite parking. The property is very tired and the toilet flush surrounding was loose and got stuck a lot. It was also drafty, as one of the windows didn’t lock properly and there was a breeze in the main bedroom even though the doors didn’t open. The wardrobe doors didn’t close properly and the hot water ran out in the shower. The proximity to everything was good, but it wasn’t an easy start. It wasn’t the fault of the staff, they were more than obliging."
