Top Makara Beach Hotel Reviews

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

8/10 Good

"I recently travelled to Wellington for two nights to attend WoW. The James Cook was very conveniently located for this event and was only a quick walk to the event venue. One of the lifts down to Lambton Quay was undergoing maintenance for the three days we were there and this did create some significant queues and wait times around busy periods. The room was a good size and generally clean, although a deep clean of the room is needed as there were definitely areas of the room that were noticeably neglected - especially under the bench in the bathroom and the corners of the rooms, under furniture etc. I was also disappointed that although this is a hotel, there was no mini-bar. There was a mini-fridge but it was empty and after a long day and a long flight, this would have been welcomed. The noise levels from other guests in the corridors was also very noticeable, so there are some noise-proofing improvements that could be made. Otherwise a generally pleasant stay."

Bolton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A great place for business travellers. I stayed in a well appointed studio room with comfy bed and big desk. Nice and quiet. Handy to Parliament and numerous government agencies."

"We only stayed at this property for one night so we didn’t get to use most of the amenities, but the location worked well for our needs (in a quiet neighborhood but just a short drive to restaurants and shops). "

Comfy stylish Central Wellington studio

10/10 Excellent

"Perfectly appointed efficiency apartment, in a great location in easy walking distance from grocery store, coffee shops, and public transit, with off street parking. Hosts are a lovely couple who live upstairs. Very friendly, but not at all intrusive: we were welcomed with fresh garden produce and left with extra special help at the airport. Can’t recommend highly enough!"
