Very Central and Good Value”

We got a good deal using Agoda. The hotel is very central to the city and the room was nice and the bed comfortable. Staff were friendly, though we did have to wait 2 hours to check in, as the room was still being cleaned. We were given vouchers for drinks and told that they would call us when the room was ready. Unfortunately, the receptionist must have finished her shift as no one called us. When we checked at reception, our key was waiting for us. The deal we got was very good and included breakfast. Breakfast was popular and although the staff were helpful and efficient, I don't think there were enough rostered on as there was quite a queue lining up for breakfast.

Nice and near the Waterfront ”

We stayed for 2 days with breakfast included - which was excellent. Beds are comfy and clean though they don’t clean every day we asked for fresh towels as there were 4 of us sharing and that was fine. We didn’t have great views from our room but overall it’s a great base for the Waterfront and Parliament and Te Papa though is on quieter side of town
