The hotel was very convenient for distance to the TSB arena where we were going. The hotel was easy to find, we don’t live in Wellington. Parking in the open car park out the back of the property was no problem. Staff were friendly, especially the lovely lady of Italian heritage who checked us in and later served us at the bar and dinner . Choices for dinner and breakfast were adequate. We would stay there again.

This is a perfect location if you wish to visit Te Papa and Wellington waterfront. Plus Courtenay Place and access to restaurants and cafes is right on the door step. Not 5 star but convenience makes up for it. Will definitely be back again and again.

The property was central to everything I went to. Plenty of parking for vehicles. It was CubaDupa weekend so I expected some noise but there were people (possibly outside) who were talking and laughing (nothing wrong with that except they went on until at least 3am.) Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and had all that I needed. I would stay there again.

Good value for money for the location in central Wellington. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Having carparking on site was a drawcard. From there it was an easy walk to Takina Convention Centre, Te Papa and Courtney Place restaurants and cafes.

Close to TePapa, shops and has a supermarket opposite. Rooms and bathrooms are old. Also the room had no aircon, so was very hot inside the rooms. So hot we slept on top of beds. No bowls or cultery. Just coffee cups, small glases, and teaspoons. Provided tea and coffee and a small jug of milk on request.
