Wellesley Boutique Hotel

This is a wonderful hotel full of older charm lacking in cookie-cutter hotel chains. Everything room is a little different but all equally lovely. With just 13 rooms it is has a quiet and intimate feeling. There is a delightful coffee shop attached that has space for lounging. As you would expect from a small hotel, the staff is extra friendly and helpful. Two blocks in from the waterfront, near the cable car and beehive, it is well situated in the CBD for wandering.

Large bedroom and bathroom.

Wanted somewhere close to the ferry terminal but this was not easily walkable because of road layout. Whole experience felt a bit odd rather than quirky. Must be a very small number of rooms as reception unmanned from 5pm, so when we arrived at 5.30pm our room key was sitting in an envelope on the reception desk. Never saw any other guests but seemed to be a lot of noise throughout the night from upstairs floorboards and loud pipes. Masonic symbolism dotted about the hotel. Decor dated and room seemed clean but smelt a bit musty.

What a beautiful hotel - the main parts of the hotel feel like you stepped back into 1925 when the hotel was built but the rooms have been nicely updated. We were shown the rooms where the Free Masons meet. Located near downtown, the waterfront and the ferry terminal. Perfect!

Good location. Room clean.

Dark and gloomy generally and in the room - small overlooked window. No reception after 4 or 5 pm. When there's an evening function they leave the front door open - but as there's no reception staff anyone can walk in so didn't feel very safe. A very old lift - and a notice to say off the lift breaks down to call the engineers yourself. Overall didn't feel that welcoming.

Second time I've stayed here. I've stayed at a lot of hotels in Wellington, and this one is quiet and warm. I often struggle to sleep in hotels - so this has now become my go-to. So convenient to the waterfront for dinner or to go walking/running.

Close to sky stadium

No parking however staff are very helpful in directing where we can park which is not very far from the hotel

Top Lage im Stadtzentrum. Die Zimmer sind sauber und haben alles, was es braucht. Parkplätze gibt es in der Parkgarage direkt nebenan. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich.

Von aussen könnte das Hotel eine Auffrischung vertragen. Boutique-Hotel würden wir es nicht nennen.

Location!

Kinda of an old musty feel, which the posted pictures convey. One high dormer-like window, but in side street of business district so there was little light and no view to begin with.
