Pros:
Excellent, very central location
Spacious apartments (good value for money)
Friendly/helpful staff
Useful in-room amenities (washing machine/dryer, coffee machine, bath)
Cons:

Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Mostly described as clean in several reviews, but at least one guest noted visible cobwebs in the bathroom, indicating inconsistent housekeeping.
Service
8.5
Staff described as friendly and helpful (help with luggage, friendly reception), but guests reported difficulties obtaining basic information (non-working QR code, unclear notices), so service is generally positive but uneven.
Location
9.4
Repeatedly praised as excellent and extremely central (Lambton Quay, close to cable car, restaurants, supermarket); very convenient for sightseeing and city access.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms/apartments consistently described as spacious, comfortable beds and useful extras (washing machine/dryer, bath, coffee machine), but issues noted with bedroom heating, traffic noise for some units, and at least one instance of misleading photos (no kitchenette).
Amenities
8.4
Good apartment amenities cited (kitchen facilities in some units, lounge area, laundry, coffee machine), but some shortcomings such as limited heating in bedrooms and difficulty accessing the gym were reported.
Value for Money
9
Multiple guests explicitly called it good or great value for money, highlighting space and central location relative to price.
Food and Beverage
8
Little on-site F&B; guests noted advertised breakfast/dinner at a sister hotel but poor information about where/how to access it. Nearby food options can be limited on weekends (not the property's fault).
Overall Experience
9.5
Overall very positive stays reported (some extended their stay, called it one of the best in Wellington), with spacious, well-located apartments outweighing the intermittent issues noted above.

Pros:

Room size, pillow selection and comfortable bed

Cons:

Small windows so not light but also not dark with black out curtains. And construction next door was heavy and noisy from 7am. Not a great wake up... a discount option or free breakfast would have been a nice trade off.

Good
Pros:

Room was nice and big
Other facilities were good
Safe good, kitchen facilities good, seating fine
Bathtub would be great

Cons:

TV service is outdated (web enabled TV would be expected)

Wonderful apartment in the CBD.
Pros:

I loved that I was in the middle of the CBD, just steps away from the cable car and within walking distance of many fantastic sights. I also loved the in-room washing machine!

Great location in central Wellington - roomy
Pros:

The location was amazing - big rooms - my second time here - Lampton Quay street noise at night might be an issue for some, midnight street sweeping, etc.- if you are by yourself, sleep in the second room away from the road.

Cons:

The second room door was locked - next time I will get this unlocked.
