Nice hotel in central Wellington - modern, clean rooms with guest parking for a fee. The TV didn't work very well during our stay and the glass design of the bathroom might make it feel less private to some. These were the only issues with our stay Despite this, I would stay here again - it's good value for money and very well located

It was clean and good value for basic accommodation in a good location, just 8 minutes walk to Cuba St so really central. But as a woman on my own, I didn't feel super safe given anyone can walk in from the street and access the hotel, go up in the lift or stairs without a key. There was nobody around, it felt like I could be jumped in te corridor and nobody would even know. I didn't like the very low lighting in the corridors, either, for the same reason, It felt a bit unsafe. Once I was in my room it was fine but having no window wasn't very nice. Also, when I arrived, there was nobody around, it took ages to find someone to check me in.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location was convenient and good to have onsite parking. The rooms were small but warm and bed was comfortable. The room hadn't been vacuumed properly for a long time. Dust all along the skirting board and carpets around edges. The hallways also hadn't been cleaned or maintained for a while. Didn't have a very welcoming feel to the hotel.

I stayed for 2 nights, in a Queen bed room with small window. I found the room clean and property in good condition. AC worked!! They have a self check-in Kiosk which was very easy to use. There have two levels of parking, though I didn't have to use it. It is located 5-10 mins walk from main CBD.

The air con unit in my room (203) was making loud noise the whole night, no matter what setting I put in on, unless I off it. The room and the location of the hotel is great, apart from the noisy air con that kept me up all night.

The room was very nice and modern, all the amenities needed! Very central area. The AC is not very strong so keep that in mind when booking an inside room. I would recommend this budget hotel as it is a great value for how nice it is!

The room was spacious, clean and tidy. Process of checking in and out is easy. The hotel is near to restaurants, many choices. The only problem we encounter during our stay is our next room, they were too loud using their door, banging when going in and out at 10pm. Otherwise the hotel superb!

The room was expectedly small. However, the bed in the room had a large pointy wooden bed base that made it hard to maneuver around. I hit my leg multiple times. Also, the carpeting by the bathroom was frayed, the room had a strange odor upon entry, and the bath product receptacles were flimsy and the bottles kept falling off. The staff at the front desk was very nice and helpful. Very important note: there is parking onsite. However, request a spot on the ground level. Level 1 is nearly impossible to maneuver without scraping your car on the side wall.
