“Amazing value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

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 were worried about setting the fire alarm off.
Another minor negative was the staff told us the wrong box for picking up our keys, leading to a 20 min delay on arrival as we had to call a member of off duty staff to let us in. Despite this set back I still give it 5 out of 5 as it's very hard to beat this for value

“Location, value, quality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

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!)

“Wonderful family accommodation in the heart of the city”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

people found this review helpful

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 of four. The apartment was basic, but spacious enough and clean. For the location, I think it's the best deal in the city! We were steps from Cuba street and all its wonderful coffee and food. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. We did experience some street noise late on weekend nights, but nothing that woke the kids, and that's what's important. All in all, very highly recommended.

“Great!! Value and location for teenager family”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2010

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.

“Good value, a few repairs needed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2010

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.
