Stayed here for 5 nights in January, in a studio room overlooking Te Papa Museum. Just outside the heart of the city, but still within walking distance of everything, the accommodation was very comfortable and had everything we needed, including a washer/dryer. It's fourth floor location made for a very quiet stay. Highly recommended. Information provided by the owners included a recommendation to a nearby restaurant called 'Two Souls' where we enjoyed a lovely meal at a reasonable price. Try the seafood chowder - you won't be disappointed. A large New World supermarket nearby for all supplies was a bonus, and public transport is only one street back. The extensive redeveloped waterfront area is just behind Te Papa and is great for strolling.

This hotel has it all: great staff, lovely rooms, nice view of the harbor, washing machine and dryer, wifi, and it's two minutes from Te Papa and a short walk to Cuba St and downtown. Very up to date, it's on the top floor of an office building with Lexis/Nexis for a neighbor. We were lucky to find it.

Location was perfect for going to shows and the many restaurants. Big bonus was free car parking. Very quiet even although it is surrounded by busy roads
