Nice to have picked Willis Wellington Hotel. The breakfast was good, staffs are helpful and friendly and the room that we stayed was clean and spacious. The downside of the hotel is that the free wifi is limited to one login to be used in 30 minutes maximum duration per day.

it is the second time that we stay at the Rydges Wellington Hotel. as in the previous time, we were pleased with our room which was large, with a big window looking at the city. the staff were helpful and friendly. there was, as before, a charge of 30 nz dollars a day for the car valet parking, but since it is in the centre of town, it is understandable. the only draw...

We stayed at the Travel Lodge Wellington from December 19-23 2012, and appreciated the warm welcome, efficiency and hospitality. The hotel is perfectly located; a few minutes walk from all the ‘attractions’ – museum, shops, restaurants, public transport, Wellington harbor, Parliament, Churches, supermarkets etc. The check-in/out process was seamless. All the st...

My boyfriend stayed in the dorm here on our first few days in Wellington and everything was great - I've stayed at all hostels in Wellington and this is by far the best and best value! Super clean, free dinner which is the best!!! cheap drinks and PERFECT location!

The single room is basic but has everything you need for a simple short stay. Probably the best basic room offering for budget range, room includes tv, tiny fridge and basin with hot water for washing face and brushing teeth which is great. You won't get the setup for this price anywhere else in Wellington CBD, it's extremely central close to major bus stop. The shared...

Just a short walk from the waterfront and convenient to the bars and restaurants in central Wellington, this multi-storey backpackers had more of an industrial/ backpacker-factory feel than I'd have preferred, but it was fine for a couple of nights. WiFi throughout is only on a paid basis and the breakfast was overpriced. Desk staff were quite helpful though was twi...

Logan Brown very close proximity, Havana bar & Restaurant, this was my favourite, easy walking to Cuba street, then down to Te Papa, Gallipoli exhibition was incredible. We took an Uber out to Maranui Cafe at Lyall Bay, exceptional breakfast, brunch food and the salads looked devine. Jumped in another cab to go to Weta Workshop, we did one tour $28 or you can opt to do...

Stayed here for a day during my weekend trip to Wellington, a few months back and had a pleasant stay overall. Though I got there before the check-in time, the front desk executive was understanding of my situation and provided me a room which was being cleaned by housekeeping. They did a $10 charge on my credit card during check-in which was eventually reversed during...

We had a fantastic stay at the Bolton Hotel in Wellington and wished we had been able to stay longer. I would definitely recommend this hotel , especially to families with children as the rooms were big with a large bedroom which had a separate bathroom, living area, and kitchen. The kitchen was fully equipped and even had a washer/dryer machine! The hotel was centr...

Loved this hotel! It was a good size with everything that we needed for a night. The parking was the only problem as the car park was full so we had to park across the road, costing us $38 overnight. The location is perfect with only a short walk to the main shopping and food. Also only 1GB of WiFi is provided, unlimited WiFi is $10. Overall it was a good stay and we w...

My partner and I were stuck at Wellington airport after missing our flight and desperately needed somewhere to stay so we just booked the closest accommodation and hoped for the best. We were so pleased with the motel - from the free pickup to the spa bath, all the amenities were perfect. The bed was comfy, room was clean, bath was luxurious and the staff were so frien...

We were a group of 8 people ( 3 kids and 5 adults). And it meet out needs quite comfortably. Specially rooms with two bathroom were a bonus. The staff ( Night Manager Mr. Bharat) was very accommodating and helpful. Sharing his insight about the city based on our unique requirement was very much appreciated by evey one in our group. The location is super nice...and clos...

the kingbed room was very large with plenty of space. the bathroom was generously supplied with soaps and shampoos each day. there was an iron and ironing board, which is not always provided in a 31/2 star hotel. the fridge is small but adequate. the location is central wellington and one block away from the best shopping street in wellington (lambton quay). the restau...

Stayed for 2 nights for business trip in a Studio apartment. The room is specious. Has all facilities. Washing machine and the dryer are the best! Caroline was really helpful friendly. I would highly recommend this property for either business trip or travelling with family. Just perfect! Location? In the middle of City. Guest will have access to the gym down the road...

InterContinental Wellington is wonderful first class hotel which has everything you would expect from InterContinental. All my needs and expectations were met with high class standards. On my mind, this is the best hotel in Wellington now. Wonderful job of all staff members. Special thanks for everyone involved for making my daughter’s birthday celebration unforgettabl...

The setup on Dixon was perfectly located in the city of Wellington. Friendly staff, clean room and good facilities. For example, guests could gym for free at the Les Mills gym which was a big bonus. Also free coffee, hot chocolate and tea. Only downside was that the room had no window and the airflow wasn't the best, but it's your own choice to book a room with a wind...

Everything was great - the room was really well equipped, the decor was nice, bed was huge and very comfy, it was spotlessly clean and the staff were nothing but smiling and helpful. It is very central but is tucked away up a small side street that is a bit of a pain to get to but it was very quiet, unlike any of the hotels in Cuba St (you've been warned!!). This is g...

If you are searching for a place to stay in Wellington, check out the Novotel. My husband and i stayed at the Novotel for 6 nights and we had a wonderful stay. The location of the hotel is convenient and within walking distance to many shops/restaurants, the waterfront, beehive, and cable cart-you don't need a car to get around being the city is so compact and makes f...

My fiance and I had an 8-hour layover in Wellington so we decided to stay at the Airport Motor Lodge to get a few hours sleep before getting on a very early flight. We got to the motel at about 10:30pm and the man who greeted us when we checked in was very friendly and hospitable. He showed us our room, gave us information regarding the property (what to do if you che...

On a budget? Then Brentwood is perfect. Excellent value if you just need a place to sleep and leave your bags while touring the city. Comfort level is similar to most hotels. Clean and quiet. There is the infrequent sound of plane's taking off, but only the most noise-sensitive person is going to notice. Airport collection is easy as. Go to the airport information desk...

One of the best hostel experiences I have ever had. Very clean and comfortable, kitchen is well appointed, and the staff was terrific. I stayed both in a double room (1 night) and 6 person bunk (2 nights)- both were great, only complaint would be no lockers for personal items but I have found lack of lockers common in NZ. It is a good 20-30 min walk to downtown Welling...

We loved this hotel. Everything was absolutely superb. If you can find a better value hotel in Wellington CBD we would love to know about it because we certainly can’t find anything better than this. Great location, very central to everything, great price, spotlessly clean and great staff.

We ended our trip to the North Island with five days in Wellington, staying five nights at the Capital View Motor Inn. When we were searching for accommodation in Wellington, we looked a variety of options. We were hoping to have three key things - parking, a kitchen (so we had the option of preparing meals if and when we wanted to), and something located in the city. ...

I am satisfied with Waterloo hotel. I travelled with sleeper naked bus previously, from Auckland to Wellington and this hotel located just next to the nakedbus's bus stop in Wellington so it makes us easier to mobilize. Also it is located a the center of everything, you could easily walk from Waterloo to the most every spot in Wellington. Value for money. Clean. The o...

This hostel is located right in the heart of Wellington. It gives it a great urban feel, and is centrally located near all the attractions and, for ease of access, many stores. The facility offers many amenities such as a café, kitchen, all the areas that you would expect from a hostel. It was also very clean and tidy. I stayed in a private room, as that was all they ...

Even though the hotel is a bit older and would need certainly some refurbishment it's a great location to explore Wellington, bar and restaurant streets are close located. Mount Victoria is just nearby. It takes a bit longer by walking to get to the cable car. The dinner we enjoyed there was delicious.

Initailly chose this as it was the cheapest one. Ive read some reviews about how awful it is because its dirty, its not a 5 star hotel but it is a nice place to stay. Its a bit dirty in the way that hostels can be sometimes. Most of the dirt I saw was from guests not wiping down the table after they used it ans dirty dishes in the sink. The staff are super helpful, the...

What a hostel! The facilities and level of cleanliness are incredible. The staff are super friendly and for some reason this place seems to attract really amazing travellers. Definitely worth the few dollars more you pay compared to the cheaper hostels in Wellington. They are still quite new, hence still growing their number of reviews, but The Marion Hostel is definit...

The family had an enjoyable stay. Didn't feel like a backpackers at all. Everything you need for a value for money stay at a location close to Wellington. Nice and comfortable beds, clean rooms and amenities, fantastic view of the sea, friendly and hospitable staff, etc. Highly recommended. Will surely stay again in future.

The hotel was okay. The bar and restaurant were great, we had burgers, drank and played darts. Location is great if going to Castlepoint lighthouse and lagoon, but only because there's not many other hotels around. The room was disappointing and wasn't very clean, and the bathroom wasn't clean. Also a little eerie walking out to cabin as there were no lights. I would s...

The outside view of this motel would make you think that it was a bit below standard, but with a few exceptions detailed below, the interior of the room I had looked much more inviting than what I was expecting. Overall the room was sufficiently spacious as was the bathroom/shower. The room was also well cleaned and there was nothing to fault anywhere. The locati...

we had a great time during our 2 day stay, this place was easy to find after we turned of the freeway , we checked in and was shown straight to the room , a little gem ,the king suite , a very spacious big room but a down fall was the small T V , but we did not go there just to watch movies , The king suite is away from the pub , above a vacant shop so was quieter ,...

Such a great place to stay we arrived early (8am) and they let us store our bags in their office till (2pm check in time) and one of the guys who worked us let us tag along on his Uber and even showed us around Wellington then we came back to Te Puni at 1:30 and they let us check in early so that was cool super clean and comfortable stay and there was a balcony if you ...

The basement room is at the back of the property does provide privacy, however, I could hear all the noises from any movement upstairs. The room is full of personal items and things that I had to remove the cushions to sit down and there is no table surface to put my personal bags on. It will be a good idea to simplify the room. The spa pool and the light were swit...

They have a tardis elevator!!! The walls are a bit thin so you can hear all the..fun happening in other rooms. Room was lovely and clean, there was no window in our room but that worked out well because there was no morning light to wake you up and the room was well conditioned so you even notice. Highly recommend, and did I mention the tardis elevator?!

Richmond Guest House is by far the best value budget accommodation in Wellington. It's only an 8-minute walk to Courtney Place and not that much more to Te Papa. Breakfast is included as is as much wifi as you may need. The rooms are large, warm and well-kept. Make this your home away from home in Wellington.

This B & B was beautifully appointed with lots of thoughtful touches. Jann could not have been more friendly or helpful, even giving me a lift down the road when it looked like rain. A cup of tea, iced water, even the offer of a glass of wine, and of course, a fabulous continental breakfast. The bed was super comfortable, with lovely linens, and the bathroom was great ...

Queen Room with Shared Bathroom catered for all our needs - room and facilities lovely and clean. Location is great, easy walk to town. We arrived after dark, so it was very thoughtful of staff to draw the curtains and put the heater on for us on a chilly winters night - thanks.

Steve and Cath were really friendly and made us feel welcome from the start. Even though we were only there for one night, we had a nice long chat before we left. Definitely the best hospitality one could have hoped for! Our room was upgraded for free, and in the middle of winter, having the electric blankets and heater in the room was a godsend. Would definitely stay ...

We arrived late as we took the 6.30pm ferry from Picton to Wellington. They leave the room key inside the safebox infront of the reception building. The room did not comes with blanket - you need to request and have to pay extra. The facilities are great but we do not get to enjoy as we leave early in the morning the next day. Overall, its worth a night stay.

Thank you to staff at Willis Wellington Hotel. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I don't want for much when it comes to accommodation but your warm hospitality and friendliness was most impressive. I'll be singing your praises and would happily recommend this establishment to any fellow travellers.

My partner and I was renting a camper van and travelling when we found that there were no decent camp-sites round the centre of Wellington so we booked Halswell lodge. It was brilliant. Great, safe off street parking, lovely staff and a great selection of different rooms for different prices.

We stayed just one night at this motel. It is small, maybe not great for a long stay, but it was exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom is modern and the unit had everything we needed. Although it is close to the main road there was little noise, reasonably quiet. Would definitely recommend it to others for a short stay.

A cute little hotel. Gave me a warmth and personal feeling. Located between Tory and Taranika St, quiet but within walking distance to eateries. The manager on duty has the best hospitality personality I hv ever seen. Always carried a smile and helpful. Loved sitting in their little cafe in the morning enjoying my cup of coffee. Will check in again if I revisit We...

Serviced apartments. First night we were disturbed by some kind of fighting on the floor above us or beside us, we weren't sure, which means sound proofing is not that top-notch, but bearable, no problem sleeping at all. We got the studio type, it comes with a washer/dryer machine, kitchen. It is fully equipped, designed for long-term rental if you want. Our room w...

We are from Masterton but we were visiting for 2 weeks and decided to stay in a motel so we wouldn't be intruding on our families, it was great to return to the motel to relax, be on our own. I am aware of the other motels in Masterton but never heard anything about South Park, so was really refreshing to have such a great experience. Great place to stay

Stayed for a weekend in Wellington. Had a car so opted to stay at this motor lodge rather than in the city. Parking was ample, accessibility into the city was ok, 28 kms drive, for a weekend, traffic was not a problem. Overall very happy with stay.

Great room. Got the cheapest one and it was clean and well appointed. The best part was that it was very spacious. Only downfall was that there was a constant pouring water noise in the room above which kept me awake most of the night, but I’m assuming that it will be fixed and is only temporary. Great location. Walk right out onto lampton quay.

Going to Wellington when there is Rugby and you have no clue about the game, that the escape point for you. Close to the city train station, great breakfast and Nice staff. The Lower Hutt has a nice promenade and main shopping street just around the corner. And if You love riding a real Motorcycle ask for the Indian and Harley dealer who also offers to rent such beauti...

Booked on line, explained, 2 single ladies...separate beds...room with view of beach and Wgtn lights in distance. Owners lovely, cleaning ladies very friendly. laundry and clothes line perfect. Felt, safe and secure, warm and cosy. Was surprised there were no handrails up/down the stairs, bit hard, 1 of us, new knee, and other has MS..but we just took it slow and caref...

It is about 10 years since I stayed at this accommodation which has been significantly upgraded. While not in central Wellington it has easy access to motorways and good value for money. I will certainly stay here again if I return to visit Wellington.

Excellent location, very easy to get into Wellington on the train & much better than being stuck in the city. Lots of things to do in the area. Russell & Viv are very friendly informative hosts & make you feel very welcome. Enjoyed staying here very much.

“The Marksman Motor Inn” certainly made our stay in Wellington more than comfortable given the circumstances of our visit. Both my sister and I would highly recommend this establishment as it ticked all the boxes and some for us. Loved the shower pressure and the cleanliness, 1.4 kms to the hospital and ammenities . Absolute value for money. Thank you so much too “Mia”...

We had a great stay here. We were welcomed by the owners on arrival, who were very helpful and gave us good advice about things to do and see while in Wellington. Cuba Street was just around the corner which was filled with shops, restaurants and bars. Even though the motor lodge was close to this area, the rooms were peaceful and quiet and free from any noise. We h...

Martinborough is a quiet little small town to start with! Pinot Villa is just situated 1 minute walk away from the main square. Beautiful villa with everything we need (microwave, toaster, water boiler, stereo with old CDs and boooks... etc). 4 Square Supermarket is just 2 minutes walk away! Love that location! Had a great stay!

As a frequent visitor masterton I was shocked to be greeted with discussed that I booked through agoda. A lecture on how I should book directly was what I received when I booked myself and three children in for the night. The room was great, although on a hot 29° day I would have thought upstairs window would have been opened. I checked in early evening and then went ...

Set in a remote but beautiful location, it's well worth the drive to get there. However if your budget can stretch to a helicopter ride it's only 10 mins from Wellington. The cottages are generously sized with every comfort you would expect and more. The staff really are lovely and we were made to feel like the centre of attention with every interaction. Their sty...

Museum Art Hotel in Wellington is an interesting boutique hotel. Slightly away from the CBD,the hotel is close to major entertainment areas of Wellington.

This room was huge! It also had an amazing sea view and you could see across to Wellington City centre.

The Wellington Art Museum hotel is surely the best place to stay in Wellington. The hotel has a high level of luxury, is comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful - without being 'in your face' for the rest of your stay like other hotels.

Your host is the architect who designed the B&B, including the Garden Room studio, comfortable and beautifully appointed. Bed, linens and shower are top notch. Special touches like art books and design magazines, comfortable chairs and an ottoman, his own painting and a joyful sculpture add character. Continental breakfast goodies are just right. You pass through hi...

This motel is extremely overpriced for what you get. I have stayed in 5 star hotels cheaper than this motel and expected a lot more to be honest! The blonde haired lady at reception was rude and made it seem like anything you asked was such an inconvenience to her. On the other hand, the other reception staff were pleasant. Having to pay $8 for laundry in addition to t...
