I stayed one night in the single room and I have mixed feeling about it/ for sure good value for money and ok service as I asked a quiet room. but still it was quite loud and the room was quite dusty and quite old. You could hear everything from the outside and the fridge in the room is so old and loud. Don't think I will be back

Good property all round. If i had to moan about something its the distance between my room and the ablutions (10metres ish). As well as their being a constant chill in the toilet/shower area (cant be helped tiling everywhere)

I like the option to go have dinner and a drink at the restaurant. The staff were friendly, very convenient and close to courtenay place to experience the wellington nightlife. Also close to shops, the te papa museum, other restaurants and the waterfront. I cant recommend this hotel enough. I definitely will come back someday in the future. 8/10 is the rating ill give
