Was very nice but does not warrant the extra $100 per night for the extra stare compared to others in the area. Was a bit of a joke having dripping liquid ice trays that ruined the food we paid a lot for in room service. Also the museum is an Appropriate name as they don’t even have smart tvs with Netflix. A lot of nice touches were completely absent which made the 5th star a bit of BS

We loved our stay! Our room was fantastic, and staff and hotel were super cool. Only a couple of gripes - the mattress wasn’t very comfy, and the Friday night street noise was loud. Would definitely recommend, but ask for a higher floor than 3

We requested a late checkout and the hotel kindly gave us one. It was so much appreciated - however it seems this was not communicated to the Housekeeping Dept as we were disturbed 3 times in the morning by 3 different housekeeping staff knocking on our door and asking when we were leaving. We were trying to rest & sleep after a stressful period recently. Not impressed at all with this part of our stay. The remainder of our stay was great.

Excellent place to stay plus the benefit of all the art work in the hotel to look at each day. Will stay again. We stayed in the appartments side which was good and nice and quiet. Location is great for Te Papa and the new events centre
