Bay Plaza was the choice given when attending the MotorSport NZ Annual General Council Meeting. This is the fourth time we have stayed. It's walking distance to all the attractions, but still not overly noisey. The staff are friendly and give the impression that they actually 'want' to be there. Lovely smiles all round. Safe parking is a bonus. Must... More

My partner and I spent a weekend at this very conveniently located hotel. As other reviewers have noted, this location is clearly the hotel's most redeeming feature. The check in was smooth and efficient and the staff member very pleasant indeed. However the front desk area was tired with tatty fittings and a computer that was surely passed its "best... More

Only had a one night stay here but found it to be very friendly and more than adequate at a reasonably low cost. Near to all the restaurants and night life and also the waterfront. All of the staff we met seemed to want to go the extra distance to make us welcome. The room was very clean and comfortable... More

We stayed here as the final hotel in our cycling Tour of NZ and thus hotel was packaged in our support crew costs. I have no idea what it cost but suspect it is probably overpriced.

Centrally Located in Wellington near all the shops and restaurants, the room l found to be clean and tidy as you would expect from this type of hotel. From the high room l was allocated the views of the port and the surrounding area are stunning, once again the staff were helpful and could not have been more helpful.

We have stayed at this hotel a few times and to be honest it is loosing its gloss.... The rooms are looking tired and very outdated for Wellington. The situation of the hotel is fabulous. The rooms are tired and looking very worn.. A flat screen tv is not a huge expense...This alone will help the modernisation.
