Top National Library Hotel Reviews

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."

Hotel Waterloo & Backpackers

8/10 Good

"Convenience to the ferry. Walkable to Wellington Ferry. Our room right next to elevator mechanical room. Each time someone used the elevator we heard it. Also had a communal kitchen which was convenient. Did the job for us."

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."

Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and views. Room was comfortable and had everything we needed."

Quest on Lambton

8/10 Good

"Great location, but checking in after hours and on Sunday, was not straightforward. The reception is not at the advertised address, and you need a swipe card to get into the foyer. Fine print shows a different address, an adjacent street up three flights of stairs, to find a door with an intercom to page someone. From there, it was easy."

ibis Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Happy with the service thanks"

DoubleTree by Hilton Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location to the waterfront , shopping etc. staff were very helpful"
