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.

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.
