Pros:

Nice size apartment.
The location is the best! We love how close we were to everything. We walked everywhere.

Cons:

The noisy buggers outside, there's not heaps of them though. The guy on the Honda going up the car ramp. The noise echo's and made the bike sound much bigger than it was. He could go up & turn it off quicker, bikes dont need to warm down. Don't think there's anything you can do about that. Still a great place to stay at.

Very odd service I’d hate to imagine what it would be like if we did stay
Pros:

Nothing as it was cancelled just before we were going to check in and pay for the room

Cons:

The cancellation without any prior communication

Gilmer Apartment Hotel was on the same street as our daughters University Hall, so it was super convenient.
The bed was really comfortable.
It was really central and easy to get to Lambton Quay.

Great
Pros:

Great mini apartment with everything we needed. Liked that apartment had a small couch and a small table to eat at. Convenient to bus airport express pick up point.

Cons:

We did not appreciate the rubbish collection outside our window at 3 (or 4 ?) In the morning... Unfortunately, we have experienced this elsewhere in Wellington too.

Pros:

We enjoyed out stay and found it to be very central to the CBD. The room was well appointed and very quiet. We either had quiet neighbours or the sound proofing between rooms was excellent.
