Reception very friendly and helpful - room was on the top floor larger than expected and recently renovated. No AC but happy with that as I dislike it. Opening the windows quickly cooled things down. The room was quiet with no external noise or disturbance from other guests. Well equipped for basic self catering. Decent laundry on site including drier. The location for the city was brilliant with Cuba Street a few steps away. Parking was secure and free on site.

Street parking is more difficult around the hotel as it has been regulated. The hotel work hard to get all guests parked on site but rely on customers properly communicating their needs.

If you don't mind walking around everywhere, then this place will suit you, it's so close to supermarket (fresh choice), cafes, restaurants, shopping etc. If you have to go further, it was so easy to get Uber's they came within 2 minutes of booking. Compared to other places we have stayed at, the external city noise was much quieter. If you don't want to eat out, there is everything there to do a bit of cooking. (cooktop and microwave)

This comment probably wont be an issue for city dwellers, as we live in dark sky's so we notice it more but there seems to be so many really bright lights outside in the area that light up inside the unit. There are black out curtains but hard to completely block lights especially in the kitchen, which seeps around the kitchen blind. Didn't need to turn on the light to go to the bathroom, so this was a positive for us on this issue.

Very friendly staff. Our penthouse was a lovely space with fantastic views of the harbour all round! It was very well cleaned.

We were very fortunate to be “upgraded” to the penthouse. The only little issue is that the lift goes to the fifth floor but the only penthouse is a floor above that and can only be accessed by a stairs. That’s not a problem as long as you’re strong enough to carry a heavy suitcase up! Well worth it if you can!! The areas outside of the apartments would benefit from a make over but the interior of the apartment we had was very well maintained.

We were very lucky to have the penthouse, it was amazing. Lovely and spacious for our four day stay. The beds were really comfortable and the suite was well appointed. The location is perfect so close to Willis Street and Cuba Street. The perfect spot for a weekend away. Definitely will stay again.

We had a wee challenge getting the t.v sorted, couldn't figure out how to watch normal t.v but the daughter had her netflix account to watch. Also the t.v is quite high on the wall which made watching it a bit uncomfortable. The couch isnt practical but really its not that big of a deal considering how fabulously the suite was.

We were upgraded, so had more space. The place was clean and bright, the bed huge and comfortable. It was nice being able to cook a simple meal and the staff were super friendly and helpful. We were able to park right outside. Cuba Street is just around the corner, it was an easy walk into town.

Some other guests were noisy on the landing, but we probably should have been up anyway and the windows could do with a clean on the outside. The one way system on the roads near the motel can be a bit confusing, but we managed once we got our bearings.

Clean and comfortable motel in quiet location with added bonus of onsite parking. Ideal location for walking into town/harbour front, restaurants on Cuba Street and only 15 mins drive to ferry terminal for sailings to South Island. Good for short term stay (we stayed 2 nights), but might need somewhere with a few more facilities if staying longer. We were on the 4th floor and had excellent views across Wellington towards the harbour.

The decor, fixtures and furnishings in our room were all looking a bit tired and the kitchen facilities were dated - the room (Room 36, 4th floor) would benefit from refurbishment. However, we did note that the room across the corridor appeared to have recently had a facelift and looked much better, so our experience might not be reflective of the motel as a whole. Notwithstanding the comments above, we still enjoyed our stay.

It was clean, comfortable and in a convenient location. Shelagh the owner went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. My boat was delayed for many hours, I got locked out of my car and app was going wrong so she let me leave my car in the carpark, charge my phone and use the facilities for as long as I needed. I’m very far from home and really needed some kindness and Shelagh did an amazing job at this and I’m very very grateful for her.

Friendly staff, rooms very clean and tidy. It's an older building but the interior/furnishings are all modern. It's on a bit of a rise and we were on the 4th floor and we really enjoyed the view. Beds and shower both very good - above what I expect from a motel. And our own parking space was a real bonus for the city location. Overall an excellent value for money.

Was not a problem in March, but there's no air conditioning which might be a problem if you are visiting in that short couple months of Summer where it gets hot!

lovely appartment, bathroom was big and modern. beds comfy. kitchenette was sufficient. not far to walk to Te Papa or waterfront. about 20mins. very friendly lady at reception with broken ankle, poor thing!

lighting was not great. nothing by the beds and too much light when turning switch on. parking could be an issue. we had a rental car and we were asked to park in front on the street. But we asked if we could park behind in their very small car park and they agreed. I wasn't happy to park rental on street. tip: contact them to ask

Very affordable and a perfect location where everything you need is within walking distance not to mention having a safe place to park overnight was great. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming and informed us of some events to go check out which was appreciated. Every time I travel to wellington I always check here first for available rooms before anywhere else, I've recommended this place to a few mates and they all come back just as impressed as I am. Cheers for having us!
