We foolishly left booking a room until last minute on the weekend of a rugby game and went with Wellywood despite bad reviews. We really shouldn't have. I was all up for being pleasantly surprised and I really wasn't. I've copied below an email I sent to BBH about this place as it really is the worst place I've ever... More

I recently stayed at Wellywood on a school trip with a group of my students. I have stayed there on two previous occasions and it was fine and it is in an absolutely fantastic location for getting around Wellington city on foot. This time however, I was incredibly disappointed with the state of Wellywood. When we got to our room... More

I stayed in this hostel for three nights, in a female dorm. Check in was fine, although it was fairly clear that the staff member was new and not entirely confident. The decor of the building could do with a spruce up, as it is looking rather dingy. I can see that at one point the film theme would have... More

They are a new management and so i had decided to give them the... More

A fantastic experience in Wellington; I stayed in Wellywood for a night and felt the need to leave this review because the hostel exceeded my expectations. My first thoughts were of how friendly the staff were, they bent over backwards to help me out. I needed to leave before 6am but checking out was no problem as they ensured that... More

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights. We are both former Wellingtonians who were back there for a long weekend. While location is really good, close to courtenay place and the waterfront everything else was poor. The staff when we checked in weren't friendly and didn't seem to know what to do. They couldn't even work out if... More
