8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel but small rooms lacking storage.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff & great service with a fantastic breakfast. Rooms (classic at least) are a little on the small side with no drawers to store clothes which is annoying for a weeks stay. Only a small a wardrobe though they did supply more hangers. Bose sound system didn't work in my room.

Super hotel in a great location

This is a lovely hotel right in the centre of Wellington a 2 minute walk from the BeeHive parliament building. The staff were super helpful and friendly upon arrival. We used their valet service and although there was ample car parks we could have used, it was an easy and efficient service to use. Our room was great and the bed very snuggly. We ate in the dining room and had an excellent meal on our second night and once again great service. Would highly recommend this hotel
