“Great hotel located in quiet end of town”

Reviewed 24 May 2013 NEW

Stayed here when the AFL was played and not a spare room in the hotel. The staff are top notch and even with a full hotel they could not have been more accommodating. They were so approachable and nothing was a problem. We had a room on the city side, with views over Beehive, the Cathedral and up to the... More

“Luxury location and surrounds”

We were impressed with our three night stay at Rydges Wellington with family. The hotel is plush with modern rooms and furnishings and is in a terrific location. The staff were super friendly and helpful despite it being an extremely busy weekend. Don't miss the breakfast - it's awesome and dinner in the hotel restaurant was divine, especially the steak.

“Great room, service and restaurant”

Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

We spent two nights here on our honeymoon and had a fantastic stay. The room was perfect and staff were very attentive. The hotel was well located for exploring Wellington. On the second night we ate in the hotel restaurant and had a brilliant meal - couldn't fault it!

“Nothing would compel me to stay there again”

Thankfully, my stay at Rydges was only for one night. In any case, I would have checked out the next morning. My heart sank when I walked into the cold double-height reception area that's about as welcoming as a gulag. Getting to my room on the fifth floor did nothing to dispel the general unease. For one thing, the use... More

“Fair to Middling”

Having stayed previously and enjoyed a great room and service, this visit was a contrast. We didn't get the room we booked. But did after having to ask again. The staff though courteous we not helpful or proactive. All a rather average experience topped off by a shocking nights sleep that was caused by noisy guests - that the staff... More
