Good location near the waterfront. The manager Koa was courteous, considerate and helpful. Upon my request for a quiet room, he gave me an upgrade to a one-bedroom apartment facing an inner courtyard and provided a late checkout upon learning my late departing flight. Everything in the apartment was clean, well-equipped and comfortable. I will stay there again when I am in Wellington again.

Wow I can’t say enough positive things about this place! The hosts were lovely - very accommodating and great communication. The apartment itself was warm and cosy and had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. And the location was outstanding….VERY short walk to gardens and cable car and so handy to everything Wellington has to offer. We wish we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be back.

Ideal location in the city, close to bars and restaurants, comfortable beds (best sleep I’ve had in a long time), good shower in room, friendly staff, budget price but offers the same comforts of more expensive accommodation, and luggage storage available after check-out.

Great location on Ghuznee St by Cuba St, easy to walk everywhere and a very reasonable rate compared to other hotels. The staff were also great to deal with and very helpful. Very clean and comfortable room with table and two chairs and a well equipped kitchen area (fridge, 2 rings and microwave) to self cater if needed. Good heating/aircon. I had a quiet room on the back of the hotel. The continental breakfast was great with a fresh muffin too. Very close to the Wellington Eye Centre if you need to stay over as I did.
