Guest Reviews

• Julia (7/5): - La ubicación Hasta llegar a la habitación hay que pasar muchos pasillos , es como un edificio común con otras salas
• ALI (8/5): Ok - It was ok Attitude of the attendant who attended my call
• Robert (6/5): - No chair in room No free TV channels
• Antonio (6/5): - Está en pleno centro de Wellington El sitio da miedo por dentro
• Antonio (5/5): -
• Loek (8/5): -
• James (10/5): You can come and go as you please easy parking cheap room good customer service number 1 hotel - The manager is lovely didn’t hesitate to help out when the batteries were flat for the tv Warm and cozy nice and quiet very cheap good value nice and modern bathroom
• Angus (10/5): Overall good value for money - It was good affordable place to stay
• Sandra (8/5): - Location and really friendly staff
• Eliana (6/5): -
• Eliana (4/5): Buena - La ubicación, la limpieza No me gustó que no haya cortinas en la habitación
• Heather (8/5): It was close to eateries, a supermarket and the CBD - The room was big and the common area spotless It was quite hard to find - even with taking the photo. Perhaps a big map on the floor would be helpful
• Deren (10/5): -
• Chris (10/5): -
• KAI (3/5): - Bracing existing in the room, without mentioning in the description. This is a H&S hazard.
• Tom (2/5): You’d have to pay me to stay here again - Room clean, relatively spacious. Interesting reuse of what was once an old office block. You need a sense of humour. A single staff member at check-in was condescending to the point of being obnoxious. The place is like a maze. Poorly signposted, no staff to help with directions, just a complicated “map” shown when checking in. No help given, just the bored-looking single staff member sarcastically repeating himself again and again, holding up his “map” about where to go (you're not allowed to take a copy of the map with you). No external windows, just a blind to cover the windows looking into the passage. The room must have been an office once. Absolutely no soundproofing. Could clearly hear other guests’ conversations, and then two of them actually started having sex next to the adjoining wall. Glad they were getting happy, it’s always good when a relationship starts budding, but it was impossible to sleep properly through the subsequent noise and banging. (Oh, and Darren, if you're reading this, I hope you did call her like you said you would when you left. It was her room, and she sounds like a good sport.)
• Samara (3/5): Bad- - The location was great The staff on the phone were extremely rude. The room did not look like the photos
• Leydi Viviana (3/5): I wouldn't want to stay there again - The only thing I liked was the location. I feel the rooms are not suitable for a hotel; you can hear a lot of noise from the other rooms. It was a bad experience.
• Nayara (10/5): -
• Sinkal (10/5): -
• Smayra (10/5): -
• Clint (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Tuku'aho (5/5): -
• Nicole (3/5): - Easy check in The floor was incredibly dirty and under the bed looks like it hasn't been touched in months. There was garbage from previous guests still on the floor when we got there. The wifi was terrible and the nature of the room meant the signal was poor as well. Wouldn't recommend it until they hire people capable of cleaning the place properly. Even for a cheap hotel cleaning wasn't up to standard.
• Anton (10/5): -
• Doyle (8/5): Excellent location. Great value - So handy to everything
• Waisu (10/5): Good - Good Good
• chris (1/5): Rough, zero sound proofing between walls, zero staff to assist. - Location Zero staff to assist and when I did reach out post my stay to enquire about an item left behind they ask I courier a prepaid package allowing them to return. They state they never received it, tracking proved otherwise. It should be noted this is not a hotel, it’s a converted retail store.
• Karen (5/5): Cheap, but you get what you pay for. - Room itself was clean, although very basic, but for the price that is what you are paying for. There was a shower in the room. The bed was comfy, and there was also a kettle and coffee making supplies. There is a kitchen outside the door. There was a heater also. The tv had Netflix for free. The entrance to the hotel was dirty and looked like a brothel entrance, just weird vibe and i didnt know if i was in the right place. No one was at the very weird reception desk in a dirty old room with old empty cardboard boxes and chairs with cobwebs etc, which looked like it was abandoned. There was a note to new arrivals with a NZ phone number you can ring, if you have a phone. I had to make a toll call on my overseas phone to get someone to come to reception. An indian guy turned up, and checked me in, and there was a huge kerfuffle as i didnt have the credit card id booked with, and i had to make another toll call to home, to get conformation from hubby that we actually hadnt stolen the card, which he basically accused me of when i wanted to pay in cash. Didnt get a great vibe from this guy, and was a bit of a smart arse tbh. ANyway i eventually get checked in, and he sent me up stairs to the room, well the halls and labyrinth i had to walk through to get to the section with my room were dirty and unkept and i really thought the room would be dirty too, but it wasnt, so at least it was clean inside room.

• Alannah (3/5): -
• Guest (3/5): -
• Dingiswayo (1/5): - Staff were not bad at all. But they obviously do not clean the rooms properly. So stinky Its like a sex haven. Everytime you hear sex noise from neighbouring rooms. Seems like a hub for all the one night stands in the city. So disgusting. Sad and terrible experience for me especially being my first time in Nz. Please avoid it at all costs
• Guest (7/5): -
• Shamgunova (1/5): I felt disgusted. - I got the keys at reception, but when I went to the room, I saw it was very dirty. My room and the nearby rooms had hair everywhere and used shampoo left around. I have never seen anything like this. It was really awful. I was really shocked by how dirty the whole hotel was. From the reception to my room, everything felt unclean. There were bottles left around near the elevators, and it looked messy everywhere. It didn’t feel like a normal hotel at all. I felt very uncomfortable and honestly upset — I’ve never seen a place like this before. I didn’t stay overnight, but I was still charged.
• Dan (7/5): Good - Location and cost Shower/toilet door rollers need to be fixed.could have had a vacuum clean especially under beds
• Jehaan (7/5): - Shower was clogged in k4
• Anna (8/5): -
• Susana (8/5): -
• Conrad (10/5): was cool - It was nice, comfy and quiet nothing
• Damien (7/5): Great location, comfortable bed, basic facilities. - Good location, comfortable bed. Room had no window. On first night other guests were very noisy. This was ok on other nights.
• Lisa (5/5): - That is was in the middle of the cbd The room was very small, smaller than expected
• Bejamin (10/5): - The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm welcome and professionalism of your staff. Nothing
• Armande (6/5): -
• Bejamin (10/5): -
• Nayara (10/5): - great location, confortable room, polite staff i have no complains
• Elana (7/5): -
• Tina (1/5): -
• Koby (10/5): -
• Sarjae (2/5): - The bathroom door couldn’t close it wouldn’t even move I didn’t stay for to long without leaving I couldn’t sleep there felt extremely uncomfortable with this older aged man trying to talk to us his room was opposite ours I didn’t feel safe with the locks on the door also , also was a bit hard to get into the box for the key it wouldn’t even open when trying to put the key back so I had emailed to let them know where I had put key where I had also seen other keys placed there also , didn’t answer the phone when I had tried to ring about it
• Peter (9/5): -
• Zara (5/5): At first we were disappointed with our room, but we slept well, and really that’s all that matters. - It was a good location, lots of food places around. Although we were disappointed with our room, we did get good sleeps. It wasn’t very clean. Sort of weird and creepy walking to our room.
• Stephen (8/5): Very good - Really good Nothing really
• Lynley (5/5): -
• Nicole (6/5): -
• Emily (10/5): Thank you for providing such excellent service. - Sincerely compliment the staff and overall experience at your hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Manager whose professionalism, friendliness, and willingness to help truly stood out. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and It is clear that a high standard is consistently upheld. Nothing
• Sarah (1/5): THE PLACE WAS FILTHY AND WERE SWINDLED OUT OF A BED UPGRADE WE PAID FOR - Close to city center. This is the only redeeming quality for the hotel. Would not recommend this place to anyone. NO CUDTOMER SERVICES NO STAFF ONSITE OVERNIGHT DIRTY DIRTY BATHROOMS I paid extra for a queen bed as my husband is over 6 foot tall and they put us on a double bed. There were no staff around during our entire stay. The bathroom needed a deep clean. NOT WORTH THE MONEY WORST HOTEL EVER
• Sarah (10/5): Clean , helpful staff - Heart of Wellington No Windows
• Liz (10/5): -
• Daphne (5/5): Was okay for price - Location Was average
• Ken (7/5): -
• Sarah (6/5): - Great location and very helpful pleasant staff Very comfortable bed No window in room, no plug sockets near mirror or the kettle
• John (6/5): Clean, cheap hotel in the middle of town. Certainly no frills, no mparking and not much desk service - Cheap, convenient, clean Windowless room
• Sonia (6/5): Short stay. - Location and access to building was good. Didn’t feel it was clean. Toilets need to be replace - poo build up. Room smelled of BO Carpet tiles in main area need to be replaced - germ city.
• Laura (10/5): The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the stay more enjoyable - Comfortable beds, good pillows, and a relaxing atmosphere. Rooms and common areas felt fresh Nothing
• Wilma (3/5): - Location It was far too noisy. And no ventilation our windows.
• Letisha (5/5): -
• Timms (7/5): - The location is awesome, bed was super comfortable and the owner let us in way before our check in time which was so kind and helpful. The shower in the corner of the room was hilarious as we weren't a couple we were just friend's but no issues other than that.
• Sweet (10/5): Excellent - Good location Staff happy and friendly. Welcoming, professional Love to stay here Clean and tidy . Staff provided instructions very well help to find room easily otherwise it was a mission but lovely Man help
• Christine (5/5): Amazing location, great value for money, no bells and whistles at all - Location is amazing! Central trail and close to everything Maze to find your room and very very basic rooms. Nothing fancy at all! Remote control for tv was not working. No air con.
• Johanna (10/5): - Everything I had to do. Did Cupa Dupa. Got home to relax.
• LadyG and MrMe (8/5): Great stay in central Wellington - amazing central location - perfect for Cuba Dupa weekend! Fridge and Microwave in the queen ensuite room. Plenty of room to not trip over each other! Communal area right next to the room with cooking facilities and a view over Manners/Cuba St corner. Bag storage / pick up later on the day we left Pillows were flat - but we were tired so was okay this time haha
• Vaughn (8/5): Very easy. - Big room….shower, comfy beds, right in the city centre, great price. Bizarre earthquake strengthening gird runs diagonally thru middle of room. Bit of a head bang hazard… No mirror. Decor is extremely dated from entrance to room entry. Like a Kubrick set.
• Robert (3/5): Convenient - Loation Shower had needs fixing Sink tap needs fixing The heater did not work No chair in room No terrestrial TV reception
• Josh (4/5): -
• craigadolph (4/5): - It was available and cheap It smelled like stale cooking. The walls are paper thing and people were speaking incredibly loudly in the shared area.
• Ravinder (8/5): Convenient and comfortable, very friendly and helpful reception staff. - Very central to where I needed to be
• William (10/5): - The location is in close vicinity of stores within walking distance and accessible. Not applicable
• Kay (5/5): - Central location. As we were only there for one night, due to flight being cancelled, it was good to have food places nearby where we could get something to eat. The creaking floors, noisy other guests talking loudly, yelling.
• Katelyn (1/5): Absolute Crap Stay. Would never reccomend - Nothing Room was messy, shared areas were unclean and broken, smelt terrible of drugs,cigarettes and alcohol. Very loud at all times of night. Broken plugs throughout the room, TV remote barely worked. Had someone knock on our door at 2am.
• Justyn (6/5): -
• Josephine (10/5): -
• Tayla (5/5): -
• Chloe (6/5): Fine - My room was in N block. Room was nice enough, clean and had its own bathroom with a toilet and shower, as well as a fridge and jug + coffee, tea and milk. It was nicely presented when I arrived. I ended up having to extend my stay, and the reception staff were happy and very easy to deal with! The location was fantastic and after hours access was easy. The elevator did not work when i first arrived (possibly just me haha), but luckily there were stairs! The communal kitchen and dining area in N block was clean enough when I arrived, but by the following days it was absolutely filthy (new guests I’m assuming). The first and second nights were really quiet, but as the week went on other guests were loud and abnoxious even though it is stated that this “hotel” has quiet hours. I believe this “hotel” is wrongly labeled and should instead be called a hostel. It was a fine place to rest, but definitely not relax in.
• Rose (7/5): Basic sleeping quarters - The instructions were unclear and no refill of coffee and towels u less you call. Some staff were rude and the floors creaked every step The rubbish didn't get e.ptied for the 3 days I stayed there. The dishes were minimal. You had to ring for service
• snowden (10/5): -
• Menne (8/5): -
• Vincent (5/5): - Can hear everything. No curtains and building opposite lit all night!
• Rowella (2/5): - No mattress protector on the bed. The room hadn't been vacuumed. The cleaners never handed in something I left there.
• antonette (4/5): - Location No curtains. Not very clean. Not enough milk
• Wendy (1/5): -
• Samuel (1/5): Shit - Nothing Everything
• Michael (1/5): Grrrtt NO SLEEP!! Fire alarm - Location was great Fire alarm all night
• Juliana (8/5): -
• Miller (5/5): -
• Freda Dargaville (5/5): - Room was tidy but couldn't get TV going but shower was ok and kitchen was tidy. It's central to go down and buy food and found a park ok Didn't see any staff as we are arrived late that's I rated it for that reason. Was confusing to get into the box to get key lucky bumped into other people staying there as they showed me also took me to level 2
• YUNG SHAN (5/5): -
• Lou (1/5): Je suis rester une seule nuit au lieu de trois réservées car je n’avais pas prévu de passer mes nuit dans un hôtel aussi - Rien Le bruit car les murs sont en papier, les odeurs nauséabondes et sans possibilité d’aérer car pas de fenêtre…
• Miriama (8/5): Good, thank you. - Location is great Parking poor
• Craig (9/5): Easy and comfortable - Value and location
