The security guard was very friendly. The front desk staff had a great attitude and actively helped solve problems. This place enriched a part of my life during the entire trip. In the future, whenever I look back, it will be as satisfying as licking your fingers clean after eating potato chips. All my future travels will carry this contentment as I search for the next happiness.

Excellent stay. There were safety concerns though. It seemed like the security guy had a good time with the homeless on the street instead of managing the situation?

Posted on Apr 27, 2026
The room was simple but clean and spacious. When I booked, I chose a room without a window, which I understood contributed to the lower price compared to other hotels. However, upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to be given a room with a window by the front desk staff. The bed was also a very satisfying size. All the hotel staff were very kind. Breakfast was delicious too. The hotel's location was superb; most major tourist attractions were within walking distance, and there were plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. The museum, in particular, was quite close, only a 6-minute walk. My few minor complaints would be about the safety outside the hotel. I walked all over Wellington, but the sidewalk in front of the hotel felt the most unsettling. Around 7 PM, when I returned to the hotel, there were at least four individuals who seemed to be acting strangely, sitting on a bench on the sidewalk directly in front of the hotel, some even shouting. They didn't do anything to me, but their behavior was simply odd and a bit scary, so it wasn't a major issue. Also, though this is not the hotel's fault, I was woken up in the middle of the night by other guests in a nearby room talking loudly in the hallway and knocking on doors, including mine, in the vicinity.

The location is fantastic, right in the city center, making it easy to get everywhere. The room was quiet and spotless, no disturbances at all. Breakfast was also excellent, with a great variety of meats and fruits. The staff were always smiling and super friendly. Highly recommend!

Great room size and location. A few negatives, including an odd smell in the corridors (and in our room until I turned off the air conditioning). Overall adequate for our needs.

Overall, it's pretty good for a hotel in New Zealand. The breakfast selection isn't huge, but it's enough to get by.

The location is great, transportation is convenient, and the front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, which is very rare in New Zealand. Many hotels in New Zealand close their front desks at 5 pm, and if you encounter any problems during your stay, there is no one to help you, resulting in a terrible experience.

There was blood on the blanket, the service was slow, they said they would change rooms but waited forever without doing anything, and only dealt with it after I urged them. There was nothing in the room (including toiletries that other hotels have).

The hotel is located in the bustling area of ​​Cuba Street, only a 5-minute walk from the museum. The rooms are large, clean and tidy, and fully equipped. The front desk service attitude is very good, the service is thoughtful and enthusiastic, and they try their best to help solve customer needs.
