We travelled around New Zealand during November and stayed at 13 different hotels. This was the only poor one. On arrival our room wasn't ready and when we returned two hours later we were told we had been "upgraded to a suite". Our excitement didn't last long as although the room was huge with sofas, dining table etc which we... more

Originally only booked for our first night in Wellington. When we moved to our second booking the next day we were horrified at the location and shabby, dark room. Couldn't get back to the Bay Plaza quick enough. The friendly, helpful staff rebooked us for a further 4 nights. What a relief our holiday was saved. Our room had a... more

The room was dull and tired, the walls were thin and I could easily hear the TV in the next room. By far, the worst part of the room was the bathroom. Dark with no windows, and only 1 light that worked. The tiles are dated and moldy, and the shower smelt like urine!! Disgusting. The price is expensive for... more

We enjoyed our stay here for two nights, clean and well presented room, helpful staff and very convenient to the city, walk to Courtney Place food and night spots, competitive rates, just 10 min from the railway station, 15 min to inter island ferry, fire station next door did not bother us while there. very satisfied . more

This hotel is reasonable value because of its location which is close to restaurants, museum and the harbour. The room was clean, large and had excellent views of the city but was very dated especially the bathroom. The staff were very helpful and friendly but there was no wifi, just basic internet access in the foyer. more

Stayed as a $120 including breakfast for two special..... the room was extremely small and dated. The staff were friendly and efficient. The only thing that got to me was having to pay $15 for parking on top of the $120 - .. why is this not free... the carpark is on the hotel land..... It's ok to lay your... more

My sister and I were after a centrally located quiet hotel in Wellingtonwith a twin room at a reasonable price. Our room was dowdy, the chain lock into our room had been forced, presumably prior to out visit but the fact it had not been fixed did not instill much confidence, the bathroom was very dated and dirty in the... more

We reserved from the UK by internet and that worked fine - we were expected when we arrived. The hotel is very well situated for exploring Wellington on foot - the central business district is adjacent and the magnificent Te Papa Museum is more or less across the street. From there, you can walk around the City foreshore, where there... more

Stayed just one night. Chose this hotel for its location to a wedding I was attending. It could be nicer. It is quite dated, the walls are thin and you can hear the lift pinging and people coming to their rooms, chatting in the hallways. Also was a very windy night in Wellington and the wind just screamed around the... more
