I'd asked for a quiet room with water views, but never expected to get either of these. I was delighted to throw open the drapes upon arrival and see the whole expanse of the harbour, plus the surrounding hills. The decor was great, very spacious, and fashionable. In one corner next to the windows was an extremely comfortable wing chair... More

Looking at other reviews we must have had the worst room in the hotel (level 11), yes it looked nice on the surface but; the shower pressure was awful and the temperature flutuated from boiling hot to cold every few minutes, the hairdryer was dangerous as the element glowed red hot and smelled of burning a few seconds after turning...

Used to be a Holiday Inn, has been renovated. The lobby, bar and restaurant areas are the same but look good. The rooms are quite nice, some with balcony, nicely furnished and - big surprise - with a kitchenette! Good bathroom, shower. Sunday brunch looked very good, though pricey (we didn't eat there). Service excellent - we requested a room... More

Stayed here the night before and night of our wedding. We were treated to a king deluxe suite. A few signs of wear and tear in various spots, but on the whole the room was well presented. Comfy bed, excellent bathroom, and the general size of the room was fantastic. More than enough space for me, my bridesmaid, as well... More

Found this on a Wotif deal and it was the best value ever.I could not believe it. Location is near the railway station end of Wellington and an easy walk to most central Places.Rooms were well furnished -almost New York apartment style-felt quite luxurious and the cityscape of buildings captured this feel. Staff were very friendly and you could not... More

The valet parking was a plus and our room was really good value especially as we only booked with one days notice. The indoor pool/spa/gym are really good. The bar and restaurant were a great...

I booked a superior king room with breakfast. Checking was fast and I was given a room on the 5th floor facing the main street. The bed was very uncomfortable and the road noise was something that I should not have to pay for. The wireless internet expensive at $25.00 for a 24 hour period. With minimal speed. Would I... More
