Hotels near Plimmer Steps, Wellington

"I extended my stay in Room 326 and the 6 electrical wall plugs in the room were not working from 26th December until I checked out on the 28th. The front desk personell worked it out from the main switchboard on the evening of the 26th, but it was out again in the early morning of the 27th. Room lights were working well accept for the power outlets. Unreliable service. I had to lie by the main door to use the corridor electrical wall plugs."

"Great location everything was clean and tidy and checkin times though different (3pm-11am ) it actually worked well for it’s location  My only trouble with this accommodation was the tv no way of casting or watching Netflix or anything other that 3 channels that was provided and then they couldn’t be relyed on   Otherwise a great central place to stay and the option to add parking to our room was helpful"

"The staff on the front desk were absolutely amazing, friendly & helpful. Giving great advice for great places to eat, shop & things to see in the local area. Room was clean & well looked after by a great cleaning staff. Location was nice & close to a ton off great restaurants, bars, cafes & shopping. I would definitely recommend & stay here again "

"The hostel is about a 20-minute bus ride from the airport, and the bus stop is just a block away. Right across the street is New World, which is super convenient for buying groceries and daily necessities. However, I felt the cleanliness was just okay; the sheets weren't very clean. In the four-person room, it was a bit difficult to open luggage."

"Ibis Wellington was located conveniently in the city and the harbour is just a few minutes away. It's convenient to walk everywhere, including shopping. The room we got was big and basic, including the toilet."

"Stayed one night at James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor for a conference held onsite. Check-in staff were friendly and efficient. The hotel has three separate lift banks servicing different areas — if you’re unfamiliar with Wellington, definitely ask staff to explain the easiest exit route to the city. It makes a big difference. Breakfast was a very large buffet with plenty of options, though I’ve experienced better quality elsewhere. The hotel itself is older but has solid bones. Perfectly adequate for a work overnight stay. For personal travel I’d probably choose somewhere with more atmosphere, however it felt safe and comfortable. One odd feature: some rooms face an internal terrace/window area — remember to close your curtains as people can see straight in. Bed was clean and well made, the room was tidy, though the carpet is showing its age. The shower had excellent pressure and plenty of hot water — a highlight. Overall: reliable, practical conference accommodation rather than a destination stay."

"The room itself was great, and we had a wonderful stay! The front desk staff were very friendly. Plus, they offer free milk – a nice touch! The location is excellent too; it's very close to the highway exit, super near the Old Bank, and also close to the beach. Considering the price and our experience, it was fantastic! There were four of us, and while the room was a bit small, it was perfectly acceptable. And the fact that parking is free for a long time is just amazing!"

"The room had multiple areas of built up dust that hadn’t been cleaned in a long time, and the shower had some mould in the corner and lots of soap scum around the bottles. The silicone holes in the shower head were all cracked and so the water dribbled down. I could also smell the drain. The additional windows installed (appreciate the building is historical) didn’t shut tight, which is a big problem in a windy city. The wind was howling through the window gaps when they were fully shut. Assume they were done as cheaply as possible. I was also a few doors down from the staff room, so I heard very frequent door slamming in the mornings which woke me up as it shook my door frame. There’s no way I’d be paying for full price for this hotel, but for a 50% off deal it was fine. The location is unbeatable and the bed was really comfortable. The room was a good size too."

"Location-wise, it's right by Wellington train station, making it a great choice if you're arriving by train or heading to London. Facilities: They're quite old. The air conditioning was one of those large, vintage units I'd never seen before, and it was incredibly noisy, so I just turned it off. The room had a microwave and cutlery, and surprisingly, a mini-bar – which you usually don't find in hotels at this price point. However, there was a snag: no price list for the mini-bar. While I knew the bottled water in the fridge wouldn't be free, I was still surprised to be charged $7 upon checkout (when a similar bottle is around $2.50 at the supermarket). Service: The downstairs restaurant has long operating hours. I was able to order a delicious burger after a late check-in, and grab a coffee and a pastry to go during an early checkout. Most of my positive impression comes from that restaurant."

"perfect for solo travellers & located in the center of the city. to get to my room, I did have to open 10 doors just to go back to my room from the entrance. kitchen is well eqquiped & the toilet was always clean!"
