Great as usual.
Pros:

The Copthorne is my favourite hotel in Wellington. Great views

Cons:

Don’t like the back entrance. It is very obscure. I preferred it when the reception was on Oriental Bay.
Room service is a bit slow

Worth a stay
Pros:

Nice views. Great location. It's i could take the bed & pillows home i would.

Cons:

A big facility box blocking a lot of the view, it's a shame it wasn't build at the back. Other than that, great place.

Good location, rooms need work.
Pros:

Great location, lovely view across the harbour.

Cons:

The room felt dated (especially the bathroom) - for the price, I expected more. I thought the $30 charge per night for on-site parking was steep, especially as we were staying for 3 nights. I'd suggest 2 nights paid and the remainder 'complimentary'. Also disappointed there was no flexibility with the hotel breakfast. We were after a light bite but it was either a cooked or full continental option only - nothing in between - so we opted for a coffee shop downstairs (which was lovely). I'm not sure I would choose to stay again.

Pros:

Location is a plus being close and able to walk to the Station, shops, beach etc.

Cons:

Hotel is becoming tired with worn furniture & fittings, scuffed walls/corners, and in bathroom. This is a shame although part of hotel is being renovated so presume eventually the whole Hotel will be brought up to scratch
