Boutique and classy Wellington stay
Pros:

Spacious and funky boutique hotel in a lively part of town. Quiet despite the location and the fact we were directly above the popular wine bar downstairs.

Cons:

Slight hassle only having one key and limited reception hours, but no big deal. Would have preferred a kettle and fridge in the room.

Pros:

Excellent location (except that you have to park in a Wilson carpark around the corner). Cuba Street is literally a stroll away. Staff were friendly, room clean and surprisingly quiet given the location. Good amenities. Shower was amazing.

Cons:

So dark in and around the elevator, ok if you're a young person with good eyesight but a bit of a struggle for us. Have to go out into the hallway to make a coffee/tea.
