"It's not the best hotel we've ever stayed at, but it's definitely the best in Wellington. Comfortable, clean rooms with nice view of the harbour. Byredo products were a nice touch. Good service, excellent food and drinks. Wish the TVs would have been Smart TVs with Netflix/Disney etc as it was weird to have to watch films on our laptop."

"This is an ok hotel. But don't advertise parking then say no we don't have any and we cldnt accommodate a ute anyway. We booked here as they advertised parking. Also fix the power sockets so they don't hang out of the wall and most modern hotels have USB plugs. This hotel doesn't."
