Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT
"Excellent hotel- great location and friendly staff. The only thing that wasn’t great was how dark the room was- really hard to see even with all the lamps on."

QT Wellington
"A bit moldy and felt overpriced for what we got, but the location was very good. Their laundry service seems like a huge ripoff with the prices."

U Residence Hotel, Signature Collection by BW
"Great location but no reception desk. They got my email wrong so we had no idea how to check in or where to park. Parking was expensive. Construction going on so foyer and lift a bit dirty. Loose tap and leaky shower hose. Bed was ok but sofas weren't. Had no milk so bought our own."

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor
"Property was good for something reasonably cheap to sleep in a comfy clean room and bed. Breakfast extremely average. Coffee was horrible thankful to have only stayed 1 night simply because we got in on a the late flight and didn't get to the hotel until 2am and checking out 9hrs later."

Rydges Wellington Airport
"Excellent hotel when visiting Wellington for overnighter or short term visitors. Caution use Uber if staying in this hotel to explore the Central Business District. Taxis can get as high as triple the price of an Uber ride same distance. The airport is literally on the same building, very convenient. ..."
