Great staff, central. No hot water and loud neighbours
Pros:

The staff were super helpful and accommodating. Can't fault them. There was an issue with the room at first but they quickly sorted it out

Cons:

The shower was barely warm..neither in the morning or night. Thankfully only stayed one night

Not the hotels fault but the room next door to us was partying on the balcony until gone midnight

Not a great stay
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

I booked a gallery room which was very underwhelming with just two bland paintings. Some of the light switches were broken. The bed was soft and had no support. Room was very small and there was no place to put our luggage. Entrance to building was awkward and very busy. Parking expensive.

Don’t stay here!
Pros:

The buffet breakfast was woeful! Find a cafe locally. Location was ok. Opposite Te Papa gallery.

Cons:

This QT hotel is not up to the regular QT hotel standard. Lack of furniture in rooms (one chair, no desk) no smart TV and poor lighting. Definitely not a 5 star hotel experience. Breakfast was woeful. I do not recommend QT Wellington.
