As a mid-to-high-end hotel under the Hilton Group, the Hilton Garden Inn Wellington did not disappoint my expectations.
The hotel has an excellent location, located in a bustling neighborhood in the center of Wellington, only one street away from the Cable Car Station, a must-visit point, and most of the attractions in Wellington can be reached on foot (of course, the scale of Wellington's urban area is not large, so friends who like city walk should not miss it).
Because the hotel is located in an old building, the hotel's facilities experience cannot be given a full score, but the interior decoration is full of artistic sense-especially the hotel's elevator, which is very distinctive.
Starting from a cookie that is always available when staying at Hilton Garden Inn, the hotel service is satisfactory and the communication is efficient and fast.
The breakfast is a regular Continental breakfast buffet, with fewer dishes and a decent taste, so I won't comment too much (the coffee tastes okay).
The only drawback is that the hygiene in some corners of the guest room is not good enough, and dust can be seen in the gaps around the workbench. Although it does not affect the overall use, it does affect the appearance to some extent. I hope that more attention can be paid in the future.
Overall, it is a pleasant and satisfying stay experience.
*Note: Please note that a deposit of NZ$50 per night will be charged upon check-in (of course, other expenses incurred during the stay can be deducted with this deposit), and since credit card information is required (Hilton Honors members), only physical cards are accepted, and contactless payments such as Apple Pay are not accepted. Please prepare in advance before arrival.
(Attached is a small episode during check-in: During the stay, a 4.5-magnitude earthquake occurred near Wellington, and the city was about 40km away from the epicenter. At that time, I could feel a slight shaking for several seconds while lying in bed. However, when I asked the front desk when I went out, the front desk lady said that she didn't feel it. It turns out that New Zealanders are too relaxed when facing volcanic earthquakes)
