Friendly staff and convenient to waterfront.
Pros:

Handy location for those visiting the Convention Centre or Te Papa Museum. Not far from bus-stop for route 14 into CBD. Good views from restaurant.

Cons:

Corridors to rooms were a bit narrow. Couldn't see any mini-bar, cookies or chocolates in room. Some view of the bay from common area was blocked by part of the building.

Would stay again
Pros:

Excellent location, unbeatable really, and I do love the harbour view. The staff are friendly and very efficient and the place is spotlessly clean

Cons:

This hotel is ageing and the taps leaked, but it's nothing dramatic. Still good value for money

Decent hotel in a great location
Pros:

Good location and useful being able to use the nearby gym

Cons:

The pillows were surprisingly poor quality.

It would have been useful to know that the gym’s showers had no soap dispensers!
