Best budget hotel in Wellington!”

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 bathroom on the second floor has a private bath which is lovely. The shared kitchen facilities also basic but great, can get a bit busy or crowded when the hostel is full but the option to dine in the restaurant with a 10% guest discount is a great alternative. BBQ on Wednesday for $7 including drink, count me in! Everytime I have stayed here it feels like I'm the only person in the hotel which I love. It's generally quiet and the rooms are just the right amount of private. The high ceilings give the best illusion of space and adds a kitsch feel. I love this hotel and would highly recommend staying here.

Enjoyed my stay!”

Clean, spacious and comfortable room. There is an elevator that you can use to transport your luggages up, extremely convenient when I am lugging one large luggage and one small luggage. The elevator is an old elevator where you need to open and close the door on your own, it was a pretty cool experience as I had never seen one such as this before. Kitchen was shared and well-stocked with pots, pans, utensils, plates etc and 8 stoves so multiple people can cook at the same time. Shared toilet which was kept clean and tidy. The lights in the toilet will automatically switch on when someone enters but I am unsure why during our stay at the hotel at night, the automatic light stopped working. We did not have the time to inform the reception so unfortunately could not figure out why it was so. A 24hr reception though with friendly staffs so it's convenient to speak to them if you need anything. Unfortunately parking is expensive in Wellington but parking by the hotel is free at night.

Excellent hostel, set in the centre of Wellington”

Great hostel - clean, comfortable, a well equipped kitchen, plus plenty of shower/toilet facilities. We had a private double room with its own bathroom facilities, which we were most pleased with and considered it excellent value for money. The staff were extremely helpful; while the location is in the centre of Wellington and only 50 metres of so from the bus stop to/from the Airport. Would certainly recommend to any traveller staying in Wellington.

Very Happy with our stay”

Very happy with our stay here. Great value for money. Very close to everything too. Would stay at The Cambridge Hotel again if visiting Wellington.

Exceptional”

I had a pleasant stay at the Cambridge Hotel. Very good location close to plenty of shops and restaurants. The staff were also excellent, especially the lady who checked me in - she asked if it was my first time staying at the hotel and after I told her that it was, she proceeded to give a thorough introduction letting me know of how to get around and how to use the facilities. She was lovely and I regret that I did not get her name.

Good Value budget accommodation in central Wellington”

The Cambridge offers very cheap single rooms (using a communal bathroom). The room comes with electric jug, tea/coffee, fridge, tv and a basin. I've stayed there a couple of times. The single rooms are incredibly small but if you're in Wellington briefly and only using the room to sleep in, it's absolutely fine. The only thing I didn't like was the hall lights were on a very long delay before they came on at night (movement sensors). I had to use my flashlight in the pitch black to get to the bathroom and it was quite scary as I didn't know whether another resident had deliberately turned them off. I talked to reception about it but they weren't at all sympathetic. Other than that, it's great value and feels safe.

Well located, great service”

Dorm rooms were a bit cramped but clean and tidy, as were the bathrooms. Service was great and the location was ideal for access to Mt Victoria, Courtney Place, and the New World Supermarket. Would be happy to stay again next time I'm in Wellington.

nice quiet place in Wellington”

very friendly and helpful staff; hotel is over a hundred years old ... pretty cool old English style ;) facilities are not the newest, but everything is available and working incl. washing machine and dryer; since the Cambridge hotel is about a 5min walk from the main pub&restaurant area away it's nicely quiet at night!

Great place”

I enjoyed staying at this hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. After a long journey of 26h travelling from Canada. I was quite happy to arrive and my room was ready. It’s clean and got everything you need. It’s also close to everything in CBD. The pub has great food and a good ambience. Definitely will be back at Hotel Cambridge. Thank you for a great stay.

Inconvenient backpaker kitchen”

If you highly depend on the supermarket and the kitchen, stay at YHA instead. The kitchen facilities at The Cambridge Hotel are not quite complete, and you will have to borrow ALL cultery from reception. Otherwise, this hotel has good value for money, and is located very close to dozens of restaurants (including its own restaurtant).

The staff here were absolutely the friendliest people. The room was a good size bathroom standard”

Overall was a brilliant little find, the only downfall was was our double bed was two single mattresses pushed together, but still a fantastic place to stop over in Wellington!

close to the citycenter”

I stayed for 2 nights in the cambridge hotel! Everything is on walking distance and the service and facilities was really good!

Convenient hotel with 24 hr reception.”

Good centrally located hotel. 24 hour reception. $4 basic breakfast available in restaurant. Close to all sites in Wellington and opposite Mt Victoria and close to airport.

Not bad”

Cheapest room with Ensuite in Wellington that I could find. Classic building inside and out. Just gets noisy at night when it's windy during winter (car parked with horrible alarm ringing the WHOLE night and something banging outside the window)

Great Hotel, Well Appointed”

Nice Hotel. Shared Bathroom and showers are clean. A bit noisy due to the pub downstairs. Nice, small room. You get what you pay for. Good location in Wellington.

The best hotel in Wellington ”

I can speak highly enough about The Cambridge. Everything about it is just right.Great rooms, location and the most attentive staff.

Lovely Hotel with heritage feeling”

For single room (double bed) with ensuite - too expensive compared to some other hotels in Wellington; bed very soft, shower flooding quickly as curtain too short, very noisy room as air conditioning units were outside the room; the chair was broken and light bulb not operating as I arrived. Desk for working too small; wifi not working that day. I slept very badly as too noisy and the mattrass was too soft, being used to firm German mattrasses; not suited for 2 people as no way to sit down; clearly $5-60 worth The staff was very friendly and helpful. The Hotel has a lot of flair due to extensive Rimu features, beautiful doors and stair cases. The furniture inside the room I had was totally dated and probably difficult to sell at Salvation Army. Nevertheless, it was at the particulare date the most convenient and cheapest around.

Mini city break”

Spent 3 nights at the Cambridge, all in all a very good hotel although would benefit double glazing as a lot of lat eight street noise. Good value for money, would stay again.

Value for money”

Everything seemed to be within walking distance - bit then Wellington is not a huge city. This is one of the cheapest places to stay and I feel that it had everything we needed.

Great hostel, but mostly for longtimers”

We stayed 4 nights at The Cambridge Hotel and we were very happy. The dorm rooms are big enough as well as the facilities.Dorm was a bit cold and noisy as next to the pub's smoking area. Mostly long timers in the hostel
