This is just a great hotel. There is not much more I can say. But I'll give it a go! Every room is unique. I staying in room 3 (in fact I am here now writing this review!) which has a balcony and overlooks the harbour. The bed is great, the shower is great, the amenities are great, even the... more

We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. If you want something a little different to the usual big hotel rooms-this is it! I was looking for somewhere for my husband and i to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary and it lived up to my expectations! The service was wonderful but discreet.The place was full of retro furniture that the... more

This is our third visit to Wellington, and I will never stay anywhere else! Ohtel is funky, fresh, very centrally located near Courtney Place, Oriental Bay. Modern and clean with a vintage feel. Great shower. Great amenities. Free wireless internet. Great mini-bar. Across from New World if you prefer to buy your own. Lots of Wellington/NZ magazines with local information.... more

I arrived at the Ohtel at about 10.30am and although my room was not supposed to be ready until 3pm, the woman at the front desk kindly allowed me to leave my luggage and took my mobile phone number so she could contact me when the room was ready. The room was fantastic, very stylish and tidy with a great... more

The Ohtel is truly a designer's "labor of love," with meticulous attention to detail and a refreshing style. However, unlike many boutique hotels which pay slavish attention to design in an effort to achieve the requisite level of hipness, Ohtel renders the same attention to detail to its primary mission: housing weary travelers. The extremely friendly staff provides warm and... more

The bedroom itself was certainly good - the latest in good design and layout, fabulously quiet, stylishly and tastefully decorated, a superbly comfortable bed, and with the best technology available. However, simple things were a challenge. For instance, making a cuppa. The jug didn't fit under the tap so we had to poor cups of water into the jug, one... more

this is clearly the best hotel in wellington, which is not really saying much as the selection is dire. we were really happy with our suite, and that they accomodated our 2 kids with rollout beds, and were negotiable on the price. the hotel is nicely appointed, the bathroom is really lovely, the room was spacious and the decor was... more

We only stayed one night more is the pity. The hotel was top price but deserved to be as service , room, facilities and location were first class. Very modern decor but with every detail carefully thought through , we found it very relaxing. We thought that the blend of 1960's furniture and modern decor were a great success.We would... more
