Top Wellington Cable Car Hotel Reviews

Travelodge Hotel Wellington

8/10 Good

"Overall, good value for money. Room was spacious, bed very comfortable and view of city was nice. Shower was strong and hot. Location was excellent. I wish reception had warned us at check in that the tvs only got limited Sky and NO Freeview, as we spent ages one evening trying to watch our favourite TV1 programme after a tiring day. Quite frustrating!"

Bolton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A great place for business travellers. I stayed in a well appointed studio room with comfy bed and big desk. Nice and quiet. Handy to Parliament and numerous government agencies."

InterContinental Wellington by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel in the middle of Wellington ticks all the boxes for me so it’s a perfect place to stay"

ibis Wellington

8/10 Good

"Hotelwad"

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

8/10 Good

"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."

Quest Atrium Serviced Apartments

8/10 Good

"Clean room fitted out well."

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."
