Great location and very quiet and comfortable
Loved the room layout and enjoyed fresh milk in the fridge rather than UHT pods. Next time I will bring my swimming costume.

Very good hotel in the city, very conveniently located just off the highway and without the need to get stuck in traffic. I arrived on a Sunday so I got to try the special Sunday Roast dining menu as well, very well portioned and nice restaurant setup. I also booked for the valet parking so it was really piece of cake checking in.

A great stay in Wellington. The room was very comfortable and had everything you need.
The staff were helpful and attentive.
It's close to parliament and a short walk to some pubs and restaurants, or the harbour.

Good option for Wellington
A very comfortable hotel. Spacious room with a kitchenette. Good breakfast and location. Only concerning issue was the Wi-Fi which was hit and miss - frustrating as I needed to work.
