Travelodge Hotel Wellington

6/10 Okay

"A good central location otherwise average. Promised expedia perks were not delivered on."

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

8/10 Good

"The building is modern, and located halfway up the hill, with fairly easy access to the CBD via an adjacent hotels parking garage elevators. The rooms are totally kitted out to be like a small apartment...dishes, glasses, cutlery and utensils. Best of all, a washer/dryer combo WITH laundry detergent. So we'll appreciated. And the Wi-Fi was steady and strong. A must for working. There were a few stains and tears in furniture fabric, but the only real drawback is no easy access to coffee or a café for a quick breakfast. Then again, ANY could go to the store and get some for the room and make my own. "

Quest 256 Lambton

10/10 Excellent

"Quest 256 is located very nicely in central Wellington. The main retail shopping area is literally on the doorstep and it's only a short walk to the waterfront with all of its bars and restaurants. The room itself was ideal and there was laundry facilities (and sachets of detergent) provided in the room. First time we've stayed in a Quest property and would highly recommend. They're certainly on our list for future short breaks and holidays."
