Stayed here for 5 nights. Very exceptional value. Good location. Very good price studio apartment room included bathroom and basic kitchen (with oven, hobs, fridge etc) well equipped and furnished. Very quiet. Very clean. Highly recommended. The only minor downside was that the oven was not 100% clean meaning that it smoked when we first put it on and we... More

Great value apartment for a flying visit to Wellington. We checked in late but the staff called an ran thru the procedure to get in, also emailing them too. Great clean little apartment with everything required for our stay. Great powerful hot shower too (always my way to check a decent hotel!) More

We were spending two weeks in Wellington and had initially booked a holiday home in Ngaio. However, when the owner cancelled on us with very little notice, I was extremely lucky to find the Southern Cross Apartment Hotel - for less money than the holiday home! We had a two bedroom apartment which adequately met the needs of our family... More

Great location for walking to shopping. Easy access for driving to University, tourist spots, etc. Great value and set up for teenagers/family..difficult to fine cheapish accommodation when teens classed as adults. Only negative, the neighbours were building a deck from 7:30 each morning... presumed finished now Parking in Street but no difficulty...empties out in evening. More

Like other reviews have said, the double bed is too small. Whereever we stay we're always surprised that there's no place to put suitcases. I remember that some of the light fittings were broken, and some other things needed attention. More

We'd booked this as cheap, temporary accommodation whilst we found a rental near Wellington. Far exceeded our expectations. Good site at the top end of Cuba St, close to just about every culinary taste. Although not too many coupon parking spaces close, we managed to stay for a whole week without using a coupon - just took good timing, though... More

My hubby and I stayed here for 3 nights in early Jan 2010. Location is excellent, two minute walk to Cuba St with all it's attractions and 10 min walk to I Site and Civic Centre (Te Papa, Galleries, etc). Rooms are quite basic but have all you need and a very well provisioned kitchen area. We had a studio... More

The location is superb, just on the corner of Cuba Street. The two bedroom apartment that we got was really tiny. Rooms were very small, and furnishings were very basic. Had expected the apartment to be a bit bigger and we were disappointed. More

Found the staff very helpful and friendly. We had one double room and one two room apartment. Smallish but very adaquate for the price. The rooms were showing their age but seemed clean and tidy. The beds were very comfortable - I want one! We were supplied with clean towels/soap/tea/coffee each day over the 3 nights. The tv was small... More

I stayed at Southern Cross Apartments for a week in October 2009. For $66 NZD per night (weekly rate) for a studio apartment, I got great value for money. I booked directly on their website and had no problems with check-in. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower was great, and the kitchen had everything I needed.... More
