Rydges Wellington Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Located right on site at the airport, perfect for early morning flight"

ibis Wellington

6/10 Okay

"The property is very central so lots of shops nearby. The room is clean and bed is comfortable. No movie channels on TV, Not enough coffee/tea option in the bedroom. Staff could be a bit more nicer. I'm a bit annoyed with the hotel holding another $100 from your credit card but refund don't go back until 3-4 days after you've checked out."

Hotel Waterloo & Backpackers

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is located across the street from both the Train station and the Ferry Terminal making it very convenient if you have to take an early train or have a late ferry arriving into Wellington. The cleaniness leaves a lot to be desired. Our bathroom was filthy (specially the bathtub). We were so tired that we only used the sink to wash our face & hands. the toilet was OK. The room itselft was good too however one of the window panes were broken. I'm not sure if I'd go back again to this property."

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The young lady at the front desk was very helpful. She took the time to help me get around the streets in the area so I had my choice to walk, drive or take public transportation. House keeping takes excellent care of the property. Some remodeling or repairs were going on and the crew worked hard not to inconvenience the guest. "
