"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Naumi Studio Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in was mediocre was not feeling the happy, friendly vibe that so many reviews wrote about. However that change with other friendly approachable staff during the course of the stay especially with the check-out staff who actually showed me there was an internal door to the carpark when they swiped their card to get me to my car. Which would of been helpful if I had been told that at check-in. Overall very happy with the stay. Thank You."
