Everyone was friendly, check in and out was great. Only gripe I could come up with would be that I wish parking were closer and not around the block and 6 floors up but downtown parking is what is is in every town ☺. I really like this hotel, the design, the history, the bathrooms are great and rooms are very pleasing, large. Would recommend for sure.

The Wellesley is a modest but charming older hotel. The rooms and bathrooms are big and even more important quiet. Jess at the front desk is sweet and welcoming. Don’t expect frills, but a good night’s sleep and convenience to the wharf, shopping and Sky Stadium are a real plus.

A bit of history

What a delight to see someone maintaining this architectural treasure. Location was so convenient to the train station and Wellington downtown. And the staff was great. It was a short visit but will definitely consider it for a future trip.

Great bones but needs a refresh

This hotel is lovely old building, it has amazing high ceilings and the bathroom/ bath was nice. The place could do with a little modernizations- perhaps some colour or new duvet covers etc as it’s a little plain as far as furnishings in the rooms. It could also do with a deeper clean.

Nice quirky hotel

A lovely quirky old hotel close to railway station and CBD. Spacious, comfortable room with nice antique furniture, comfortable bed, beautiful new bathroom with bathtub as well as shower. But for the price I would have thought they could have reception open beyond 8am-5pm. Swipe card in a locked box to get in after hours. Overall happy with my stay
