Top Zealandia 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."

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."
