We stayed a couple of nights at Bolton on a business trip. On check-in they suggested an upgrade (I wanted a bath!) which was a nice touch. We had dinner at the hotel which was excellent! The rooms were lovely - tidy, clean and included a kitchenette - nice for travelers. They also had free wi-fi which was very reliable... More

We spent five nights here while visiting our daughter who is studying in Wellington this term. Our suite was great: super comfortable king bed, separate sitting/kitchenette area, large modern bath. Convenient to everything we wanted to visit. When we discovered the washer/dryer we were in heaven. Most of the staff were very friendly and eager to help. The valet parking... More

This hotel has a great location. Room very spacious. Had an apartment style room with full Kitchen and washer/dryer, which was very convenient. Bed was comfortable. Only complaint was that WIFI did not reach into my room and needed to use in the lobby.

We were in a 1 bedroom suite, had a galley kitchen, with a large bathroom. Couldn't ask for a better room. The resturant had good food, but one night our waiter was great, made this dinner even better. Close to the train station, and Government Buildings. Easy to walk around. Not sure were the car went, as it was parked... More

Stayed here as it's as close as you can get to many of the Government offices in Wellington. It market's itself as a 5* luxury hotel. I don't know that I'd go that far, but it is an excellent city hotel. My room - 307a - was very comfortable and superbly appointed, though somewhat compact. I did to wonder how... More

Stayed in the Bolton Hotel on two separate occasions and found the staff very friendly and keep to help. The room was very spacious with a separate bedroom to the living area. It has a mini kitchen which is really good when you just want to warm up a take away meal. Love the gym and swimming pool.

I guess if your used to cities and small spaces then you will enjoy this hotel. We stayed in a 2bed apartment, I desperately wanted to upgrade to a room with a balcony but didn't want to pay the additional 300 per night and there seemed to be no moving on that rate. To sum up the place was nice,... More

Thank you for your review and favourable comments, very much appreciated. The Bolton Hotel is at the northern end of the CBD and very close to the stadium. The southern end of the city to Te Papa (Museum) and Courtney Place (theatre area) is a short taxi ride or a 20 minute walk away. Warwick Angus - Managing Director More
