Rydges Wellington
Rooms old, air conditioning unit was very loud and could not change heat setting. Minimal parking available

Hotel Waterloo & Backpackers
Clean and tidy and great value for money but was placed behind the lifts so a bit noisy. There was also second hand smoke wafting from somewhere into my room so I’m guessing someone was hanging out their window…. Not ideal!
