For a newer hotel I was surprised that the chair in my room had already started to fray and it hadn’t been replaced

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
Love the fact you can park the car onsite . Everything was very good, my only issue was the room was very noisy with the loud wind and some trucks (dustman?) throughout the night . Great location for everything , would book again, think a room on the other-side would ok

Bolton Hotel
A fabulous hotel in the centre of town with a great coffee shop and restaurant. Easy walking everywhere in the cbd. Lovely generous sized rooms. Very good range of amenities and friendly, helpful staff.

Naumi Studio Wellington
Perfect location. Spacious, tidy and well appointed lounge, bar, foyer and dining areas. Rooms are small but perfectly fine. A couple of housekeeping/maintenance things could be resolved in the rooms, but not worth mentioning, and they don't impact your use of the space.
