"Very helpful staff, beautiful views from our room"

Travelodge Hotel Wellington

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."

TRYP by Wyndham Wellington, Tory Street

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel excellent area and handy to local sites."

Oaks Wellington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Central city location, easily walkable, rooms are good."

Bolton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed the well appointed room, it had everything a business traveler might need. I appreciated how quiet the room was, super comfy bed and good water pressure in the shower. Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Decent hotel gym, and it was good to have an informal cafe downstairs and a fancier restaurant upstairs. Thank you for a very pleasant if too brief stay."

Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT

10/10 Excellent

"My stay couldn’t have gone better. The staff were all very courteous, and attentive. My flight landed a bit early for check-in and while I dropped my bags off the staff at the front desk was able to get my room turned over remarkably quickly for me which was very appreciated after a long flight. I had one small issue with the laundry in my room and they had their maintenance team take care of it while I was out for the day. I would highly recommend staying here! Also the location was absolutely perfect, easy to walk to just about anywhere downtown."

Boulcott Suites

8/10 Good

"Good location for our needs. Spacious 2 bedroom suite for 5 adults. They accommodated our last minute request for a roll out bed. Hotel parking was a bonus. We would definitely book again"

Aura Hotel
