Our flight was cancelled and rebooked and so we found Rydges a convenient short stay accommodation centrally located in Wellington. The pool and spa was great, however the spa temperature was a bit too hot for us.

The Hotel is very nice and in a great location. It is clean and the staff were helpful. I did not book breakfast when I booked on Expedia which was $55 for two of us. However when we went to have breakfast there it was $78 which we declined. The rooms are great and have everything you need. Unfortunately they are a little noisy and you can hear doors banging through the night and our air conditioner had a vibration which would start after a couple of hours and give a rattle through the night which was a little disturbing.

The bed was so comfortable and the pillows were just amazing to sleep on. They have a king pillow that's big enough to be a bolster and they were so comfy to hug. Besides the comfort of the room, the location is very good. Highly recommend!
