Top St James Theatre Hotel Reviews

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful setting and wonderful room and loved the harbour lounge. Thanks for a lovely stay. Will come again. The shower was good and I would have liked more pressure from the force of water in shower. But that’s only minor to the awesome time we had."

Naumi Studio Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and ideal for business travel. Room was compact, clean and pleasant. Check-in and out very quick and easy. Intend to stay again on my next visit to Wellington."

Rydges Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was nice and clean! I have no chance to use their amenities but overall it was good."

Adina CityLife Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Great accommodations"

Oaks Wellington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Love staying here usually. The only disappointment is Courtenay Place itself. This unfortunately has become a run down area, hardly welcolming for visitors to Wellington.. The hotel is good and staff were amazing, very helpful and obliging."

Ramada by Wyndham Wellington Taranaki Street

8/10 Good

"Great spot though a little disappointing when I left a charger and other cables in a plastic container no contact from the Hotel."

TRYP by Wyndham Wellington, Tory Street

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, team always willing to help!"

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."

Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT

10/10 Excellent

"My stay couldn’t have gone better. The staff were all very courteous, and attentive. My flight landed a bit early for check-in and while I dropped my bags off the staff at the front desk was able to get my room turned over remarkably quickly for me which was very appreciated after a long flight. I had one small issue with the laundry in my room and they had their maintenance team take care of it while I was out for the day. I would highly recommend staying here! Also the location was absolutely perfect, easy to walk to just about anywhere downtown."
