The room was good and compact and clean. The issue I had was with the air conditioning that had no turn off button. The noise for me was loud and was unable to sleep. Good price, good location, but the noise was not good.
The room was clean, spacious and the bed was comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful and had a lot of local information. It was great to have a kitchen, which had everything you need, to make your own food. Very easy transport links (bus stop right outside the hotel) and a good location; very close to bars, restaurants and shops. Very cheap accommodation, very good value for money - I would highly recommend this hotel.
Suitable for single men. Can party in the big rooms. Not suitable for families or anyone that needs to get a good night sleep.
Location - Great. It's the only thing it has going for it.
A very good location right the heart of Wellington CBD
Don't expect to get a 5 star Hotel as this is budget accommodation inside an office block, I found it comfortable and would definitely stay again
Very cheap, in the middile of town. The whole place looks a bit rough around the edges but the staff keep it very clean.

Location too busy. Noisy with guests yelling and playing. Cheap for location. Entrance to hotel different to what is pictured on website.

Disliked: Staff & service
Some things didn’t work (jug, broken fan knob) economic so not too fussy and a brilliant location with bus stop outside the door, amazing book shops, lots of eateries and easy walk to everywhere. Hard to find staff. Comfortable bed, good shower, clean.
Perfect location to Cuba and Courtenay, all necessities met for an overnight stay. Spacious room. Can't complain about pokey bathroom considering all other locations were more expensive with a shared bathroom. Suited perfectly for a Sat night out on the town.
Access through mall. Security of rooms. The staff were friendly and helfpful. It was clean and close to everything and flat walking.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Despite what others say about this property we did not have a negative experience. The staff were kind, they allowed us to check in early. Our room was tidy, the shower was nice. Only issue we faced was no windows. The beds were presented nicely and comfortable. The sink was clean. All around a nice cheap hotel.
