Great stay all around! Perfectly convenient location to explore the CBD or grab a bus to points further afield. Our room was comfy & clean, with plenty of windows for natural light, but equipped with curtains to have a peaceful rest. The Innkeeper, John, is a pleasure & a delight. He provides lovely hospitality including a very friendly breakfast service, which included such a variety, something for every taste. We will stay here again.

Had a lovely stay at Richmond Guest House. Was myself and my 2 other girlfriends (21 year olds from Canada) who shared a 3 person room, rooms are perfect size and having our own bathroom was a huge bonus coming from staying in hostels prior. John and other staff were lovely, John even went out of his way to carry my friends heavy suitcase down to our room for us. Will definitely be booking here again if I find myself back in Wellington!

Disliked: Staff & service
The room itself was nice, comfortable, and cozy. Parking and other amenities were also satisfactory, which we appreciated. However, my overall experience was spoiled by the manager’s behavior. In the 3–4 interactions I had with him, I found his language and tone to be unnecessarily rude. What upset me the most was seeing him shout at my elderly parents during breakfast for no reason. It was disappointing to notice a clear difference in the politeness and level of service extended to us compared to other guests around. While the facilities were fine, the lack of respect and courtesy from management left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, because of this, we won’t be returning here again.
