The room and bed are always 'spot on' very comfortable, great range of programmes on TV including movies. Staff are lovely. I stay in the smaller rooms, the bathrooms are tiny and a bit old fashioned - but I spend only 10 mins in there - I always rebook when I have to stay in CBD for work. Parking is great, location is excellent

Actually I don't want to give them 5 stars....6 is better! The fish in the restaurant was everything fish should be - large, firm delicious flakes with tasty potatoes and salsa. Good wine match and good price. And well done for remembering that my wife does not take ice in her drink! She herself often forgets to say!

The hotel was very convenient for distance to the TSB arena where we were going. The hotel was easy to find, we don’t live in Wellington. Parking in the open car park out the back of the property was no problem. Staff were friendly, especially the lovely lady of Italian heritage who checked us in and later served us at the bar and dinner . Choices for dinner and breakfast were adequate. We would stay there again.

This is a perfect location if you wish to visit Te Papa and Wellington waterfront. Plus Courtenay Place and access to restaurants and cafes is right on the door step. Not 5 star but convenience makes up for it. Will definitely be back again and again.
