Excellent water pressure. Staff very helpful at check in. Sadly no onsite restaurant. Heritage chain (Citylife part of this), have lovely restaurants in other cities so was looking... More

This hotel is superb. Located just metres from the cable car, the appointments were truly luxurious. The fully equipped kitchen, full-sized dining table, comfortable lounge area, huge bedroom and excellent bathroom made our three-night stay totally comfortable. The included breakfast gave us a great start to the days of exploring a very wet and windy city in early January. Staff... More

Family of two adults and two kids. We had a family suite. Perfect accommodation layout. And although the hotel is bang in the middle of Wellington, it's quiet at night. More

I got a good price on this property through RatesToGo. The location is excellent - right in the middle of the city. The room was spacious and clean. They provide limited free wifi in the foyer. When I included a comment on the feedback form suggesting that all of the wifi should be free they took the time to send... More

I checked in here after leaving my last hotel in horror. The manager behind the desk, Angela, was very efficient and even upgraded me to a 1-bedroom apartment even though I only paid for a studio. The room itself was very big and grand, and clean. My only gripe is that a previous guest had obviously used the 'vanity pack'... More

We stayed at this hotel on day 10 of our 25 day tour of New Zealand. Our travel agents could not have chosen a better hotel in Wellington for our last night before taking the inter Island Ferry to South Island. The hotel staff were very friendly & helpful. We were upgraded to a 2 Bedroom Executive Suite (no extra... More

Stayed for one night and was impressed by both both the pricing and location. Excellent hotel, the only criticism I could mention was that the lighting could do with dimmers if possible as it was very dark. Wasn't really an issue though. More

Great great great location, cannot go wrong there. However we were two couple, our room was very nice but the other room was dark, gloomy, with a very odd low bed. And odd layout. So make sure to get a decent room, we were in the normal rooms. Breakfast room/lobby needs some TLC, stains on seats etc, in need of... More
