"Hotel is in a great location in the centre of the city with loads of eating options on the doorstep, directly opposite the bus stop which runs to the airport which was very convenient. Lots of room in our 2 bedroom apartment, we only stayed one night but would be perfect for a longer stay. There is no reception so no where to leave bags for early check in or late check out but there is a partner hotel nearby which we were told we could leave our bags if required."

Naumi Hotel Wellington

8/10 Good

"Loved the fun, whimsical decor of the hotel, my kids thought it was Willy wonkas hotel! Made it very fun and exciting. The choice dice in the room was a highlight for them too! Great comfy beds, clean and felt luxurious. Only issue was that the pool wasn't heated and nowhere was it stated online that it wasnt' a heated pool..which was a big reason we chose to stay at Naumi. If it wasn't for that it would have been a 10/10 stay. Would still choose to go back thoigh. Very cool hotel."

The Viv Hotel Wellington

"Room was well maintained and clean. Although at first the bed mattress feels hard, I had a perfect sleep. The shower was great and there was even an iron available for use. The Viv was close to the hustle and bustle of Wellington without it being too close. I’ll definitely stay again."
