Hotels With Bar in Wellington, New Zealand

The first room we stayed in had a leaking roof outside the door. The door itself would not close easily and need very strong force. Shower good, aircon good. We were then quickly moved to Room 2. No aircon (Heatpump). The heater fan was like a 747 winding up for take off, Shower floor tiles very slippery, shower good temp and flow. On the last day the door lock failed completely. Clearly work is needed as during rain, there were several roof leaks with buckets underneath. Staff were helpful and communicated well. The premises are not what they were 40 years ago. Restaurant food selection rather limited. Food supplies and drinks especially were low or unavailable.

The customer service team was very helpful & concerned our safety. We were five ppl and booked 2 rooms. They have us a set rooms, two rooms together and outside had another door, felt very secure. We arrived at 2:00am there was still a staff helping us to check in. Very thoughtful

We arrived early at the hotel , the staff were very friendly and checked us in early which was great! It is perfect location for flights as the hotel is actually in the airport, lift straight to check in and departure lounge. There is a shuttle bus that goes from airport to Wellington station and stops at locations in between for museum etc. Stayed here a couple of times now and would definitely recommend.

Not the best room (internal view). Bed good. Bathroom average. Had a hostel feel and smelt like paint. Was cold after Bali and aircon didn’t really heat it up much. Service very good and the bar restaurant area is attractive. Didn’t try restaurant as lots of options nearby. Good value.

Perfect for a short getaway! Comfy bed, great location, quiet. I didn’t try the breakfast which looked lacklustre but still sufficient for a basic continental breakfast I guess.

The staff were very friendly, welcoming & very efficient. They took the time to go out of their way to make us comfortable. The lift & room was just a little bit older around the edges, but still very good! The bed was heavenly-soft & lovely, we just wish we'd had time to rest & relax more than one night in Wellington!

Rooms at end of corridor on other side to China Street appear to be able to connect with the room opposite the corridor. However there is clearly insufficient sound proofing between them. Because I was a bit annoyed to receive a phone call from the desk around 10.30pm to pass on i presume the guests in that room, complaining of the noise from my room. I was alone and watching TV at a deliberately low volume that I simply cannot believe was annoying the guests next door. I could just hear it from INSIDE my room so it must have been barely audible next door. Despite poor sound proofing. But worse than that it seems they also accused me of smoking as the desk also passed on this complaint. However, MUST have been from another room or maybe even from the street if they had their window open. Why? I don't smoke so by definition not me!

Also called QT Hotel, because of its name, the museum hotel uses a lot of modern art works in its decoration, especially in the public areas, which is unique and full of artistic atmosphere. The hotel bar and restaurant are OK, and the front desk is open 24 hours. Since it is a serviced apartment hotel, there are kitchen equipment in the room, as well as washing and drying machines. There is a large supermarket ”New World” outside the hotel, which makes it very convenient to buy vegetables and cook by yourself. Everything is good. It is located in the bay, only 500 to 800 meters away from the city center. There are many restaurants on the pier, as well as a food city. One of the seafood restaurants with Antarctic crabs as a gimmick is good.

I wanted to stay somewhere close to public transport. The main train station is just a stone’s throw away. It is near the end of Lambton Quay- the main drag in Wellington. Also for my friends who live in the outer suburbs of Wellington this hotel is close to the freeway and an easy access to collect me. The room is really clean and spacious and there is a kitchenette with stove and microwave to heat up/cook food. The bathroom is huge and has an accessible shower which is quite impressive.

It's a nice place to spend a night. A drink in the bar before dinner helps. I don't know much about the food as I had a pizza only. An average meal. Oh, the conference facilities are good.
