Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT

10/10 Excellent

Quest 256 Lambton

8/10 Good

"The staff were excellent- very helpful and efficient- absolutely first rate. The hotel is in a good location for shopping and WOW. The room amenities are good - very nice having a tumble drier (for the towels)! No view, but didn’t expect one. No bar or restaurant but don’t need one as so many great places to eat and drink nearby. A nice, functional hotel in a great location and wonderful staff."

DoubleTree by Hilton Wellington

"Clean but small twin bed room. Would have been much better with a coffee machine but loved the bathroom and lighting the room. Parking kind of painful but got the hang of it and was then ok. Nice vibe."

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice, enjoyable stay, walking distance to most things downtown."

Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental Bay

8/10 Good

"Older hotel, which is showing its age (dings, chipped paint). Best feature is proximity to CBD and the Harbourside walk. Not many people staying there but we didn’t get a Harbourview room. $30/day parking. Quiet. Small fridge and kettle, instant coffees/hit choc/teas, no microwave or other way to warm food. Small balcony with views of surrounding hills/neighborhoods. Good wifi."

Oaks Wellington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"So close to the Michael Fowler Centre and lots of restaurants etc. in the area. The rooms were immaculate"

Quest Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Wellington Hunter Street Quest Hotel receptionist was very friendly and welcoming, our room was very clean and comfortable and the location in Wgtn CBD is perfect for a weekend in Wellington with shops, cafes, restaurants etc in very close proximity and buses to and from airport within minutes walk round the corner on Lambton Quay. The Art Deco vibe is great and their lift is amazing. Will definitely book them again for a weekend in Wgtn."
