Ideal Spot for Exploring Cuba St

The Intrepid Hotel in Wellington was a great base — right next to Cuba Street, so perfect for trying out different food and drink spots. The rooms were stylish and comfortable, and it had a nice laid-back feel that suited the area well.

Amazing Staycation Destination

Amazing location just off the main part of Cuba St. The room was great and the beds were amazingly comfortable. Puffin Bar downstairs was also great; super cool vibe and great service. Absolutely amazing staycation destination.

Loved the hotel and location, unfortunately we didn't get much sleep our entire 3 night stay. I realise the hotel is city centre but being kept awake by loud music until 3am is not ideal. We finally got to sleep only to be woken by rubbish/delivery trucks early in the morning. The listing on Expedia said the rooms were soundproofed, surely a hotel on a busy street should have double glazing on the windows to allow guests a decent nights sleep.

If Wellington had a spirit animal, The Intrepid would be it: stylish, a little eccentric, and with a bar that could make you cancel your dinner plans. The Puffin is not just a hotel bar; it’s a destination. Think low-lit sophistication with cocktails so good they will keep you coming back for more. And more. And more. There was a slight hiccup with my room, but the staff handled it so swiftly and charmingly that I half suspect they rehearse these moments for sport. The result? An upgrade, which is always the kind of apology I can get behind. The location? Perfect. You can practically roll out the front door and land in one of Cuba Street’s many bars or restaurants (though you may find yourself lured back by The Puffin’s gravitational pull). If I’m being picky, the carpets look like they’ve seen better days—but that’s a minor quibble in an otherwise stellar experience. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Book a stay, sip something decadent at The Puffin, and remind yourself why Wellington does boutique better than anyone else.

There was no parking close by meaning bags had to wheeled quite some distance from an expensive all day parking venue. The room allocated looked absolutely nothing like the pictures. We didn’t stay as it was directly above a pub and the room had an awful vista of the back of the place meaning there was no way you could keep the curtains open. Just so disappointed that this was different to what is promoted.
