Best Hotel in Wellington
Pros:

I absolutely loved the design and decor, clearly somebody thought long and hard about this. The lighting was perfect, the tone was sublime, great shower, and a little radio by the bed was great. It was those little things that made it so great: The elevator up was so funky, the entrance halls to each floor were wonderful and what a great idea to have the coffee and tea making facilities there. Definitely would highly recommend. The location was perfect too

Cons:

That we could only stop one night

The Intrepid is my favourite Wellington Hotel. Anything but a generic hotel stay.
Pros:

I didn't have any breakfast but the location is so perfect. A real bonus is both the lovely relaxing lobby area as well as the bar downstairs, it's the favourite bar of a lot of Wellingtonians and so I ended up there regularly! The service is also very personalised and there's huge attention to detail.

Cons:

The lighting in the bathrooms could be better. I struggled to see to put on make up.

Everything you need for an awesome stay in Wellington
Pros:

Really cool, quirky, comfortable hotel room with everything you need for a relaxing weekend in Wellington. Great location less than a minute’s walk from Cuba Street and still very quiet (we were on the third floor at the back of the building) - we could even hear the birds singing in the morning! Staff were helpful and welcoming. We’ll definitely return if we have the opportunity.
