I've stayed here a lot. I really like the location and the view. But the hotel is well overdue for a revamp. Most of the room furniture is badly worn and/or falling apart. The in room facilities are near non-existent - instant coffee as the only option, seriously? Not even a notepad and pen these days.

Great hitel, room is very well equipped. Laundry facilities for guests. Parking at the rear of the hotel. Beautiful views from our window over Wellington harbour. We actually went back for a night after we’d visited the South Island. It’s close to the shopping area, restaurants, and the Te Papa museum on the water front.

Located in an absolutely beautiful spot, close to everything. Super convenient position. Friendly staff happy to assist with any enquires. Very nice buffet breakfast and restaurant. Our only issue was that the aircon in the restaurant and bar areas was too cold. If you’re visiting Wellington this hotel ticks all the boxes in terms of location, views and comfort.

Recommended hotel

This hotel has great rooms, wonderful staff and is in an ideal location on the waterfront. We arrived around 1pm which meant we were able to secure a hotel parking space. The restaurant was very good, and provided us with a nice view over the bay whilst dining. If we returned to Wellington we would definitely stay in the Copthorne again.

For an international hotel and capital city, this hotel was average. I was put next to a laundry with the noise of banging going on till 11pm. Room could do with an update, for mobility the corridors and lifts and doors for small to get through. Restaurant bars close 9pm and 11pm of Friday/Saturday nights. Breakfast only till 9:30 checkout very early. But service very good.
