“Excellent location in center of the city.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

Excellent location in the center of city,close to everything in this walkable capital city.Room is comfortable but no wifi in the room.Free wifi is available in the lobby.Breakfast is pretty bad so I did not try any in the Vivant restaurant.There are plenty of excellent choices out there.I stayed for 5 nights,I have to call house keeper to make my room 2 days,it was not made after 4pm! I have a dry cleaning one day,it supposed to be back by 6:30 pm,I have to ask for at the reception the next morning.It was there but not delivered to the room.well,considering the price,it is worth what you pay for.I will stay there again because I just use the room for sleep only.Most of the time I am out and about to visit the city.The location is excellent.The security is very good too.You cannot go up the elevator without your room key.The parking is limited,you should reserve in advance.It costs 25NZD extra per night.

Room Tip: King bed room,bigger.

Dear SamSt_Louis_U_S_A_,

Thank you for you very informative feedback regarding your recent stay with us. I have passed on your comments regarding breakfast to my Head Chef and he has taken these comments on board. I am disappointed that there was confusion regarding your room not being serviced as well as your dry cleaning not being in your room and I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,

Nathan Frost

Didn't stay here by choice - but it wasn't as bad as expected. Rooms quiet , clean, tidy and bed comfortable. Buffet breakfast tragic - go out for breakfast unless it is included in your room rate and even then I would pass!!!!!!!

“Excellent Location, Poor Service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed there for 3 nights. It is right in the town centre, close to most attractions or within reach. It is a good place to sleep, no other facilities, toilet/bathroom is big enough for 1 person. Very outdated room, but ok just to sleep. Forget about hospitality or any kind of welcoming. Got so disappointed when we checked in cos the reception (Laura) has got a really bad attitude, not friendly at all, feel like we owed her a lot of money. However, one of the cleaner by the name of Juliana is super friendly, and she is probably the first person whom had welcomed us warmly, felt much better after that. During our stay tried a few times go to the loby or the restaurant in the hotel but each time we saw her, we changed our mind about dinning at this hotel.
The air conditioning was blowing at the person sleeping on the right hand side, and it is unadjustable. Annoying. Windows couldnt be opened.

Dear ASAPPT,

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay with us at Ibis Wellington. Whilst I am pleased that you enjoyed the location of the property, I am disappointed that the service you have received from a Front Desk staff member is well below our usual standard. I can assure you that I have personally dealt with the staff member concerned and she is very apologetic for making you feel this way and influencing your decision not to patronise the facilities of the hotel. I have also thanked Julianna for the service that she provided to you during your stay. Please rest assured that your comments have not been taken lightly by myself and it is our hope that you will give us another opportunity to better serve you in the future.

Kind regards,

Nathan Frost
