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.

We didn’t think much of the oversized ugly three recycling bins stacked in the kitchenette of our apartment ….with no indication as to what bin was for what ! environment virtue signalling

Wir hatten alles, was wir brauchten, die Küche war gut ausgestattet und es war sauber.

Cons:

Die Waschmaschine hatte eine Fehlfunktion - es hat nur das lange Trockenprogramm funktioniert, bei den anderen 2 Optionen wurde nur ein weiterer, nicht definierter Waschvorgang gestartet.
