Decent(ish) ho(s)tel but be warned that wifi is only free for 1 or 2 hours”

Location wise, the hotel is located at the fringes of the city centre. The rooms were small but adequate. However, the toilet has a weak flushing system. You have to wait 5 minutes before completing another flush. The showers were small in size and be prepared for water to spill over to the dry areas during showering. The beds were comfortable. However, one thing that was unforgivable is that wifi is chargeable even though listing it as "free". It is only free for the first one or two hours and beyond that you have to pay. That's simply misleading and terribly dishonest. There are much better options out there and we would certainly not recommend this ho(s)tel.

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.

Average ”

+: great location and price ratio -: thin walls, so you will hear all the road noises and bar music at night; no cooking facilities

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.

Excellent”

Great hostel ! The rooms are nice with high celling. The bathroom are clean and big enough. However, the kitchen is really small and a commun area to chill is missing, there are only few couch in the kitchen and in the hall.

Great hostel, super nice staff, would put some lockers in the rooms”

Super clean, super nice and helpful staff, best location. I would add lockers to the rooms. This is a small and quiet hostel, that's why I love it. Wifi is free for only 1 hour every 24 hs. Superb facilities.

Small but good location”

Location is near to other food amenities. Street parking is free from 6pm til 8am. Lift/elevator is the older type which must be manually opened/closed and is not available 24 hours. I think it stops operating after 7pm then you need to hit the stairs.

One night for business trip”

We really enjoyed staying in this hotel. The room was great and very comfortable. A little further from Lambton Quay, Courtney Place etc but not too far either. Rooms were clean and spacious and staff friendly. Recommended.

Great location, friendly staff”

The best thing about this place is its location, it's right in the heart of the city. All attractions are within the walking distance. It's just about 10 minute walk to Cuba Street, 20 minutes to the waterfront, 10 minutes to mount Victoria. The staff were very friendly. The place were clean, the only thing I didn't like was the bathroom basis were way too tiny. The room was average, quite small and the bunk beds were quite low. I kept hitting my head to the upper bed even though I am a small person. But the room was clean and the bed was quite comfortable.

Good ho (s)tel”

I stayed in a single room which was alright. The bed was comfy, there was a tv, fridge and sink. The carpet didn't look that clean and I had a window that I couldn't close. Not only was that quite windy, it was also quite noisy. Location is very good. Not far from busses,restaurants,shops and te papa. Bathrooms looked clean, there was even a bath..(which seemed surprisingly nice but something I wouldn't use in a shared bathroom). Even though the walls were thin and you could hear everyones tv it was also very quiet. I didn't see other people and there wasn't really a common hostel area. I'm not sure what the dorms are like but it seems like a clean and quiet hostel in a good location.

An old fashioned city centre hotel ”

Being a city centre hotel there was no hotel parking available but the staff helped with the parking coupons. Old fashioned but had a good atmosphere. Easy to walk around the city centre which has a lot of character. I can't rate the food/dining as I ate out during my stay.

Wonderful stay backpacker style”

After our very unpleasant experiences with the base backpacker hotels, we thought this hotel would be quite similar. We were ready to move to a normal hotel if it seemed like a Base hotel. But we were wrong, the service was great, the room was clean and of decent size. The occupants were the civilized and decent kind! Completely satisfied wit our stay here

Very good”

Good hostel. I like the bathroom and the pantry. Suggest to have ventilation for a room enable to have the stinky smell get evaporated and not get stuck inside the room. Also, if it's possible to have a curfew hours for those who would gonna drink inside the hotel and/or if those drunk guests can limit their voices and be considerate to those who are already sleeping. During my stay, it was until 4am that there were drank guests from other room/s running around and shouting. Best regards.

Beautiful old hotel”

When I arrived at the hotel, I saw that the shared dorm that I had booked was dark. I asked to change to a private room with beautiful view to the city. It was rainy, so I enjoyed watching movies and having a quiet place for myself. I had one free hour of internet, then I had to pay $4 for 2 more hours, and I did not like that. Also, when paying with credit card, there is a fee, like 1.8% approx. I don't think that is necessary or beneficial for the business or clients. The hotel is beautiful, although it could use some improvement. Perfect location and very friendly staff. Thank you!

One night stop”

For the price this hotel wasn't too bad. I would consider it a hostel more than a hotel. The room was decent in size, bed was clean. Bathroom was pretty small, light fixtures were loose & hanging... the biggest issue for us was that the walls were paper thin and you could hear the water running through it all night. Kind of awkward with a transparent bathroom door. I would recommend the bar/restaurant, Fish and chips from the bar were on point.

Too noisy, won't go back”

Beautiful antique building with old days manual elevator that makes quite loud noise the problem is it operates all day all night(even 3am!) I'm sure there was a notice saying 7am till 10pm only and the building is only 3 levels anyway.. 1 hour free wifi should only for the backpackers as we almost paid double (or more)for the hotel service. 10% discount on breakfast is reasonable then shouldn't really advertise as "breakfast provided" to avoide confusion. Check out time is 10am and the cleaners knock on your door 9.30 if not answer quick enough they will unlock and come inside for the cleaning. Good experience to stay at nostalgic old style building but will never go back. The reception lady was nice though

In process of renovation. Rooms cold unless bar heater & electric blanket on. No wool bedding”

Extremely centrally located. Coffee ok & many eateries literally just around the corner all within walking distance of harbour, museums, markets

The shower is horrible: water pressure is bad and tge temperature is erractic.”

Other than the shower and lift, the rest is satisfactory.

good”

Good position with good bar. near museum and hill views.

Lovely Old Fashioned Lift”

The room for the 4 of us was clean & neat. The reception was extremely friendly & the location was walking distance to most places of interest. Great stay!
