A weekend in Wellington
Pros:

Wellington has a lot of terrible hotels but luckily this is not one of them. Despite the misleading photos of the room I booked, it might be the best hotel I have been to in Wellington.

The location on Lambton Quay is very convenient. Our room faced the Terrace and was relatively quiet, except for the rubbish truck at 630am each morning.

The room was spacious the bed and the pillows were comfortable. Also, the shower water didn't go all over the bathroom floor!

Cons:

The photos on Booking.com for a studio apartment showed a kitchenette, which our unit did not have. This is false advertising. Luckily we did not need to use the kitchenette.

There were very visible cobwebs in the bathroom, not sure how staff missed them against the dark surfaces.

Not the property's fault but a lot of nearby food places are closed on weekends.

Would not stay here
Pros:

Location was great, walking distance to the water front, Te papa

Cons:

We arrived early from our flight, left bags at reception, not placed in our room ,
The receptionist was really not interested
Told us that the swipe card let us in the room and gave us power to the room
They did not tell us that we had to use this in the lift as well, another guest told us this
When I booked the pictures on booking .com had a view , no mention that rooms could have no view, no light in them , no fresh air
Were not told about room service
Went to ask at reception and were told to scan the code in our room
Had to ask for a toilet brush and only given the brush not the container that it should go into , disgusting
Shower pressure minimal
Heat pump right below curtains, fire risk
Terrible room , terrible experience for a weekend away for our 32nd wedding anniversary
We felt like we were staying in an enclosed basement with no light
We had to have lights on and you honestly could not tell if it was morning or night.
Service was poor , the staff we came into contact with didn't care ,

A great location right in the city, a lovely apartment with great facilities
Pros:

The location was exceptional right in the city with shops, cafes & restaurants at your doorstep. The room was clean, spacious and had great facilities. The lift to the ground floor put you right in the middle of the city street. Supermarkets very close with facilities to cook if needed

Cons:

The parking is always an issue in a city. Our carpark was a little way away and cost us a far bit over a couple of days

Great location with direct access to Lambton Quay. Booked the one bedroom apartment. Spacious with kitchen area and dining. Had a bath! I prefer a bath to a shower - so very important!

a great place to stay if visiting Wellington or as a work base.
Pros:

Room was amazing and even though on Lambton Quay was exceptionally quiet. Bed was very comfortable and the apartment had everything you needed for a week stay. Loved the toiletries in the bathroom.

Central location, clean and comfortable.
Pros:

Location was amazing, very central. Room layout a little quirky. Bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

Nothing I didn't like but the layout was a bit quirky and the ensuite being only a toilet and sink was different!
