Rydges Wellington Airport

Rydges Wellington Airport

8/10 Good
"Rydges Hotel Wellington Airport, is perfect for those who have early flights. The room was good, the bed was comfortable and you didnt hear the planes outside however, the air cond made up for the lack of plane noise! The resturant was ok, the menu was quite limited but the service was good. Would recommend as its convienent."
