Wigram Hotel

Wigram Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel staff were very helpful and responsive but stretched and had to rush between guest enquiries. The location has history of the New Zealand Airforce. Ample parking. The dampness through the old windows is offset to a certain extent by the underfloor heating in the recently renovated toilets but the corridors are cold. The common toilets downstairs were not cleaned for a couple of days after a function. There was no coffee available for a couple of days as the machine had broken down."

8/10 Good
"Overall, it was a pleasant stay. However, it needs to be clearer that the lower-priced options have a shared bathroom (the pictures of the bathroom should not be included in the room pictures). We were able to upgrade rooms, and it was much nicer. Be mindful that there isn't usually a person at reception and if you want to get in contact, you need a New Zealand based number."
