We loved our room, the online pics do not do it justice. A quirky, kitsch, kiwiana theme, which was novel and stylishly done. The room was large and airy. We had a lovely balcony with amazing views over the harbour, Waitangi park and city skyline. The minibar was well stocked with a wide range of artisan kiwi drinks and snacks. The bed was very comfortable and clean, with good pillows and bedding. A Smart TV with all the tech you need. Loved the record player and vinyl. Plenty of seating, counters and tables. We personally loved the glass walled bathroom, with heated floors, free standing bath, dual sinks and incredible assortment of top quality bathroom products. We live rurally, and though there was city noise, as is to be expected from such a busy part of the city, it did not disturb our sleep at all. The overnight parking is a stroll through Waitangi park to Te Papa, which needs to be considered when checking in, or out, but was easy to sort at the front desk and worked for us. The hotel itself is in a great location for easy walking to restaurants, bars, movies, museums, parks and the waterfront. The staff were all warm and helpful, the champagne on arrival was a nice touch and the downstairs cafe had a great simple breakfast menu and great coffee which we really enjoyed. Its so nice to find such a gem of a boutique hotel with character and attention to detail and we will definately be back.

The rooms are generous in every way and nicely curated. There are many little touches and offerings that set it apart from other hotels around - my room was heated so it was warm and welcoming on a cold night. The magazines and amenities were local. Ohtel reminds me of small family run ‘design hotels’ in Europe. Staff are warm, socially skilled and helpful. Good restaurants around. I will go back.

The property is on the edge of the CBD which has pluses and minuses. It is all about the weather in Wellington - if wet and windy, it is really unpleasant walking into town - so get an Uber or taxi. The branding and marketing possibly needs to strengthen, with attention to correct spelling and connection to local Maori stories and history - not just the white guys. (It’s “Haere mai”). But overall it is a gem.

The lady on reception was so helpful. I think her name was Che. She arranged a taxi for the following morning and managed to pack a few goodies for breakfast as we were leaving at 07.45hrs. We were a little stressed on arrival and tired from our long journey. So thanks so very much for everything you did for us.

There was nothing not to like. The room and furnishings were really excellent and the bathroom out of this world. We had a room on the top floor and had the best sleep since our arrival in New Zealand. So quiet.

The location is excellent, walking distance to everything. Right on the waterfront. 5 minutes walk to Te Papa Museum. Staff were wonderful. Welcome drinks on arrival, special homemade muffins for Matariki day. It is a small intimate hotel, but we liked that. The staff know who you are and are ready with a smile and personal greeting. Breakfast was included in our stay and was lovely.

The bathroom may not be to everyone's taste as it is a glass enclosure with a curtain that you can pull across for privacy. As you are on quite a busy road, it can get a little noisy, but we didn't notice that at night. Water in the shower ran cold a few times when using it but only for a few seconds. Just a suggestion - offer guests the option to reuse towels to help save water etc.

We loved the hotel. Bedroom was beautiful with everything you would want including mini kitchen. Room was cleaned daily and staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our bedroom had a small porthole window and not the large windows and view we wished we had. However, this did not prevent us from enjoying our stay in this hotel. Location was excellent.

Loved this ohtel just enough quirkiness with super comfy bed. Delightful helpful staff. Excellent coffee! Appreciated the suggestions for eateries resulting in our best dine out experience of Wellington. Location easy for access to shopping, Te Papa, and restaurants.

No parking even though parking available close by allow $40 extra per day…. If parking at Te Papa this goes to supporting Te Papa so think of it as a donation!

Staff were all fabulous.. had a mix up with the rooms and they sorted it prior to arrival. The breakfasts were fabulous and freshly cooked. Location spot on for exploring the city Rooms very spacious and clean with everything you needed and we were treated to a grazing board to enjoy with a bottle of bubbles in our room.. perfect

Parking is available on street 8am to 8pm but outside this time you need to move /feed meter or park further afield in a car park.. but it is in a city centre after all.

I had an outstanding experience at this hotel! The customer service was truly exceptional, and the location couldn't have been better. The room was beautifully designed, and the breakfast was a delightful treat. The staff was incredibly friendly and made every effort to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Special thanks to Szandra, Clinton, and all the other staff members for their outstanding hospitality. I look forward to returning and staying with them again on my next trip.

Location is perfect. The room was spacious. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It has a great cafe - coffee and breakfast were both delicious.

Those glass bathroom doors are terrible and a few more hooks for hanging things would be great. Having to deal with parking meters (I'll catch a taxi in next time and just walk/uber from the hotel).

Excellent location. Good sized clean room. Very comfortable bed. Quiet area. Very good breakfast in the cafe downstairs.

No parking available - need to park at Te Papa museum - about 500m away. The hotel is on a busy street - but you can pull in temporarily to unload your luggage. No seperate reception area or hotel lobby. However, there is a bar/breakfast cafe downstairs which also doubles as a reception desk.
