James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

8/10 Good

"."

Quest 256 Lambton

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was one of the most comfortable we have had in Wellington. Very clean and everything we needed.The staff had the room ready for us at 11.00am even though check in was 2.00pm. It was great to get in from the plane and not have to carry bags around the city for a couple of hours. Easy access to Uber, taxis and busses right at the door. Excellent stay. Thank you."

Adina CityLife Wellington

8/10 Good

"Excellent location. Beds and pillows great. Bathrooms good. Spacious for 3 bed apt. Staff nice. Downsides very pricey for not having the room serviced over the day ( we were there 2 nights), having the pressure washer on the bedroom window's at 8.30 in the morning was loud and unexpected, the apartment was up a flight of stairs ( no lift access) which would have been good to know in the listing. It really is the location that makes it a good place to stay."

Rydges Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, good size room, awesome brekkie with lots of different options. Only negative was that it was extremely windy when we stayed and it sounded like someone was trying to get into our room all night."

"Happy with the service thanks"

DoubleTree by Hilton Wellington

Park Hotel Lambton Quay

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location to stay and enjoy all that Wellington has to offer at your fingertips. Walking distance to everything. Absolutely perfect for WoW!"

Boulcott Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Boulcott Suites is a great place to stay. It's our second time. The staff at reception are efficient and respectful. The rooms are beautifully clean, with a full kitchen, including an electric jug which is often not present with coffee machines becoming so popular. There is a roomy dining and living room and outside sun deck for warmer days. Comfy warm beds, bathroom and toilet, basin off the second b.room which they don't mention. And hiding in the cupboard is a washing machine & dryer and iron. Wonderful for your stay in Wellington., you'll not be disappointed. The shops and restaurants are right on the doorstep. You'll not be disappointed if you book your stay there."
