Rydges Wellington

8/10 Good

"This is an ok hotel. But don't advertise parking then say no we don't have any and we cldnt accommodate a ute anyway. We booked here as they advertised parking. Also fix the power sockets so they don't hang out of the wall and most modern hotels have USB plugs. This hotel doesn't."

Ramada by Wyndham Wellington Taranaki Street

8/10 Good

"Great spot though a little disappointing when I left a charger and other cables in a plastic container no contact from the Hotel."

Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Easy to get in and out. Super close to New World and city centre for food. Restaurant on site was over priced and the tap beer wasn't great. TV channels had major interference with weather so couldn't watch TV. Bit disappointing. Shower must be set on a temp as I had it as hot as it would go and it wasn't hot enough. All in all, great stay."
