We arrived in Wellington shortly before Waitangi Day, not having a reservation for accommodation. Found out that there is this Rugby Sevens event going on on Waitangi Day, so it could become a challenge to get a decent room at an adequate price. We also wanted something near the hospital. We were really happe, that after some searching we ended... More

We recently stayed here in conjunction with a trip to Wellington Hospital. The owners could not have been more helpful and the unit on the 3rd floor was spacious, clean and mostly removed from the road noise. Beds were very comfortable. It is within a 3 min walk to the main Hospital doors and the bus service is nearby and... More

Hosts were wonderful, being able to connect to the internet was great and using the phone in the bedroom for local calls was a plus. There were no problems having my family come and visit any time and park in the complex car park. The complex is very close to cafe and restaurants just a short walk and your there.... More

My daughter (15) said, very relaxing place. Great location, bus route, close to amenities, nice and clean and I particularly love their generous sized bathrooms with double spa. Nice comfortable beds for a good night sleep! The hospitable hosts are amazing caring people. Thank you Jimaima and Steve! More

I am not sure why people seem to like this place. It has a terrible location, stained carpets and a surley check in lady. The rooms themselves are a bit tired but well supplied. They have free parking but interenet is $15/day. Room price was $135 NZ/night. All in all, you can do better. More

A very nice place to stay. As a solo traveller I felt completely safe and secure. As others have noted the noise can be an issue, but once rush hour is over it's not too bad, also the helicopter landing at the hospital was a bit loud the first time. Got used to it after that. I would definately recommend... More

My father and I stayed here for 2 nights while my Mother was having a heart operation over the road at Wellington Hospital. Very friendly staff at reception and the cleaning staff who helped me by holding open a door while I was juggling my father in a wheelchair and numerous bags on check-out day. Room 207 was a one-bedroom... More
