Top Wellington Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Adina CityLife Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Always value for money and great location. Perfect for us, 4th time staying"

Oaks Wellington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Parking very restrictive and only suitable for small vehicles Room was not serviced after first night and required 2 calls to put right. ie fresh towels etc. Breakfast was lukewarm the first morning but was excellent the second morning after telling staff and receiving complementary breakfast. Restaurant manager was proactive in addressing our concerns. Food was plentiful and presented well"

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a deluxe room which gave us access to the lounge where coffee and drinks were available 24/7. Beds were very comfortable and parking was easy but the stalls were very tight. In the center of CBD and walkable to every where. Will definitely stay again when in Wellie."

Rydges Wellington Airport

8/10 Good

"Great hotel...convenient location, clean and well-appointed room. I checked in and checked out on-line, so my interactions with staff were minimal. My only disappointment was the hotel does not offer 24 hour room service. I arrived at 10pm and the restaurant was already closed. For a hotel literally based at the airport, with a 24 hour check-in, it would be good to have a small selection of food available at all times."
