Rydges Wellington is walking distance from the train station, Bee Hive Capital, the waterfront and many restaurants and shopping outlets. The room was very clean and their bar and restaurant excellent. We will stay here again.

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
The Gilmore Hotel is absolutely fabulous! It’s in a great location in Wellington, with easy walking access to one of the best shopping streets along with some of the historic district areas. Staff is wonderful and the facilities have been updated and are very modern. Would highly recommend!

Naumi Studio Wellington
Friendly and professional staff, overall clean facilities and great location. The fitness facilities are very limited and there was a power outage at the time that further limited functionality.
