    Our stay in the Newly Refurbished Executive Twin Room was excellent! The room was spacious with a brilliant view of the city and high-quality bedding. The buffet breakfast was exceptional, with plenty of tasty options that catered to various preferences. Located conveniently near Lambton Quay, it made exploring the city a breeze.

    comfortable beds
    stylish bathroom
    disorganized check-in
    limited dining options
    café closure

    The refurbished room was pleasing, featuring a stylish bathroom and walk-in shower. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax. However, check-in was a bit disorganized, impacting the start of our experience. Although the location is convenient for shopping, there was limited dining options on-site, and the café wasn't open. that would have been a plus.

    I loved the gym and the quiet rooms. Those wool blankets were a nice touch! Just wish the cafe had been open for food when we were there.

    excellent location

    The location was ideal we were just a short walk from a lot of great spots. Took the alternative entrance right onto Lambton Quay which opened up a whole world of food spots and shops.

    It wasn’t exactly budget-friendly overall, though it was acceptable.

    friendly staff
    nature tours
    kid-friendly meals

    We enjoyed the spacious room with comfy beds and great amenities. The staff were friendly, which made our stay with young kids easier. If you're into nature, definitely check out Zealandia for some amazing tours. It's just a short drive away.

    My kids wished for more kid-friendly meals at the restaurant.

    Great staff and comfy stay!

    Had a fantastic time at this hotel! The staff were super friendly and always checked if we needed anything. Our room overlooked the terrace and was really quiet, which I loved. Only bummer was the air con didn’t cool it down enough in the heat. The buffet breakfast was awesome, though.

    delicious dish
    comfortable beds
    clean room
    limited breakfast options
    cramped view

    The food scene was a highlight for me! The Manchego ratatouille at Whitby's Restaurant & Bar was an absolute treat, bursting with flavor. Plus, the room was squeaky clean with comfy beds, ensuring a restful night after indulging in Wellington's culinary delights.

    I would've liked some options to cater for our own breakfast—just a bowl and spoon would’ve been sweet.
