Review Highlights

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:
Inconsistent heating in bedrooms
Traffic noise for some rooms (bus stop/main road)
Occasional cleanliness lapses (cobwebs noted)
Misleading listing photos for some units (kitchenette advertised but absent)
Difficulty accessing gym and lack of clear guest information (non-working QR)

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.

A great place to stay!
Pros:

I think the location is great. It's close to supermarkets, branded stores, restaurants and many more. Room is well-equipped.

Cons:

However, I did not like that after a room clean-up, the cleaner just threw my hair straightener and curler on the floor. I would appreciate it if it were left on the table/bathroom counter.

Steps up to the room. Said if we had problems taking up our suitcases that they would help but we didnt know until we got there. Should have been a service straight away
