I stay at this Hotel most times I visit Wellington to visit family which is several times a year. This Hotel is thoroughly recommneded. The Rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful, the location is great, and the price is right.

My wife and I recently stayed in a Lambton Room at the James Cook on a Saturday night. the room was spacious, clean and modern, unlike the rooms we have experienced in many other hotels in Wellington. Although the hotel is located on The Terrace, access to Lambton Quay was also quick and easy using the elevators in the hotel... More

Clean, tidy, good spot on the terrace and lambton quay, warm room, good size and comfy bed. Everything you need on a trip. Restaurant and bar a little dated, but still clean and nice, but doesn't stand out in the sea of funky bars and restaurants in downtown wellington. Would stay here again.

They did accomadate... More

I had a room on the 12th floor, the room itself was... More

The beds are very comfortable and rooms very clean. Everything you need for a good nights sleep. Although on the road side of the hotel, the... More

Stayed here for 3 nights in a great room with a good view of the harbour. Good location and easy access for those who like to travel by foot to places of interest in Wellington. Biggest gripe is the exorbitant charge for their WiFi connection and the difficulty experienced in making a connection. This is an important factor for travellers... More
