Loved the vibe of the bar and restaurant downstairs and how close everything was in proximity. The bathroom wasn’t great and the shower was terrible. Other than that lovely hotel

Thanks for taking the time to submit a review, and a 4 out of 5 rating after your recent stay at Rydges Wellington. The vibe that the bar/restaurant has when busy is pretty good, and draws you in. I do hope that you reported your concerns with the bathroom and shower to the front desk team, so our maintenance team can investigate. We're sorry this aspect of your stay had an impact on you overall experience. Kindest regards Marcus

Good valet and service on reception. Beautifully furnished room. Comfy bed with luxurious wide pillow. Toilet roll holder inconveniently placed in bathroom. You have to reach backwards for toilet paper. A fan in the bathroom would avoid steaminess. The water pressure in the shower needs to be increased. The kitchenette has a stovetop but no pot or pan in utility drawers. Cutlery drawer was very dirty.

I did not like the unpleasant surprise when I went to pay that despite your advertising of a weekend away in wellington cheapest price etc. you charged me more for the Saturday night than the Friday The materiality of the increase in price was insignificant it's the fact you cheated me that means I will NEVER EVER be back. I will also be advertising the deception to my friends and associates. Be up front about your rates.
