Awesome staff and excellent location
Had the Junior Suite next to Harbour View Lounge . Roomy and comfortable with a nice view . Location was awesome . Lift in lobby went straight down to Lambton Quay so was close to everything . Service was excellent . The staff at desk, room service , cleaning , restaurant and bar were wonderful and the food was great. Would definitely stay again . Only downside was the lack of a door on the bathroom . I know the toilet was in a separate room but it’s still a bit odd to not have a door for the bathroom . However it didn’t ruin our stay nor will it stop us from staying again .

Family weekend
This is a very convenient hotel in Wellington with accessible parking. The particular room was dated (but knew this from previous stays). It was clean and the shower was good with lovely Antipodes products in the bathroom. The air conditioning was noisy and it was difficult to hear television.

Lovely stay
Very comfortable stay. We had noisy neighbours (next room) in the early hours with shouting and slamming doors but obviously not the hotel’s fault. Room was lovely, shower pressure probably could use a little improving.

One of our rooms overlooked the service area and was very noisy. We would make sure we weren't in that room if we stayed again. The other room was very good.
