James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally situated close to Event Centre and met all expectations and value for money"

Quest 256 Lambton

10/10 Excellent

"Room staff were very helpful and attentive, and the coffee was amazing. We had a very enjoyable stay, location is great. Will definitely stay again."

Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT

8/10 Good

"Room was well presented and quiet but the air conditioning / heating was noisy. If you turned it off it got cold and there’s no blankets in the rooms. The pool is a bit disappointing there’s no lights in the pool and nowhere to sit if you’re not going in the pool. Room was well presented with everything you need. Breakfast was average at best and apart from the view I’d go elsewhere to one of the cafes. Staff were all very helpful"

Staff were great, with professional service and some good advice on places to see and a good map. Priced very well compared to others. We haven't stayed here for a couple of years, but this will now be our new go-to place to stay in Wellington"
