Amazing Staycation Destination
Amazing location just off the main part of Cuba St. The room was great and the beds were amazingly comfortable. Puffin Bar downstairs was also great; super cool vibe and great service. Absolutely amazing staycation destination.

Ideal Spot for Exploring Cuba St
The Intrepid Hotel in Wellington was a great base — right next to Cuba Street, so perfect for trying out different food and drink spots. The rooms were stylish and comfortable, and it had a nice laid-back feel that suited the area well.

The check in and check out process is a bit weird if you are not used to it but once you learn that after and before a certain time the front desk is not staffed and the keys are in a key box, it’s totally fine. The hotel itself is lovely and super central. Totally recommend

I really liked the fact my dog could stay with me at the Intrepid, and the staff were lovely. Perfect location across the road from a park and next door to other pet-friendly restaurants and bars.
