This hotel is very central for downtown Wellington, and is right across the street from the national museum. We could walk to many restaurants, the harbor, and there's a grocery store next door. The room was clean and well appointed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had no issues and enjoyed our stay. There was a restaurant in... more

Checked into a Chaffers Suite for a two night stay for a long weekend. Our room 614 had a lovely view of the harbour, but also had a view of a small parking lot and the conference rooms next door. However we did not really find this a problem. Check in was friendly and fast. The room itself had a... more

We were in town for an anniversary to relax and have a look around Wellington and the Museum Hotel was recommended to us. It is fantastically located with the restaurant/pub scene of Courtney Place just a short walk (2 blocks) away, and of course the Te Papa museum across the road. Staff were friendly and efficient, the room was large... more

Stayed for two nights as a birthday present from my partner. Had always wanted to stay at the Museum Hotel and was extremely disappointed with the quality and service. The room we were booked into was nothing like what was promised on the website. The room had a tiny pathetic view of the harbor, the bed was queen not king,... more

Although my wife and I live just north of Wellington, we decided to treat ourselves to a night away from our baby and sample the great looking meal options that were on offer at the Hippopotamus restaurant as part of "Wellington on a Plate". We arrived on a Friday evening to a very happening check in desk that is part... more

We visited the Museum for a special treat before our next baby arrival. We arrived and went up to our lovely spacious room. The views were beautiful and the room was the size of a small apartment. We went to the Hippo for Dinner it was absolutely lovely, the staff were very helpful and the food was delicious! We were... more

We stayed one night at the Museum Hotel during an overnight transit stop in Wellington. We took a shuttle bus from the airport which only cost $20 for the two of us (about 15 min drive). The location is great, across the street from Te Papa museum and the waterfront area. The waterfront promenade around Oriental Bay and the walking... more

I've stayed at the Museum several times on business over the past three months. I love the bohemian quirky and arty feel of the hotel and the location is great. However, my experience with the rooms and staff has been inconsistent. Its a matter of luck which room (and staff you get). The residential apartment rooms are very comfortable -... more

The museum hotel is a quirky kind of place that (obviously) takes its themes from the museum located across the road. Its fairly handy to everything but we found it was a bit of a walk to find a nice restaurant. The room we had was comfortable enough but the experience was spoilt by a pervading mouldy smell that reminded... more
