Rydges Wellington
Still in the process of new owners taking over, so for example can’t accept Amex yet. Most things remain the same - lots of opportunities for new owners to improve, from a fairly average spa with only a few jets working for 3 minutes at a time, to noisy rooms with average aircon. Breakfast very overpriced ...

Adina CityLife Wellington
This is a great location that suited us for what we planned to do in Wellington. The bus stop was just across the road and it's not too far from eateries and the supermarket. Obviously it's close to other shopping. Great receptionist, Valerie.
