The hotel had a convenient location with access to various restaurants, but the rooms were very small and lacked natural light. The service was friendly and accommodating, with helpful staff willing to secure bags. The dining experience offered a good selection at breakfast but lacking in some areas. The hotel was under renovation during the stay.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The hotel had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, with very comfortable beds. However, the room was smaller than expected, more like a broom cupboard. It wasn't what was advertised, which was disappointing.

The hotel had a great location right in the CBD, perfect for what I wanted. The rooms were small but extremely clean and comfortable, although it was terribly hot with no air conditioning. The service was a mixed bag - super nice at times but useless on other occasions. The dining was good but a bit overpriced compared to nearby options. Overall, a convenient stay with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel may have been a bit loud with people yelling and banging in the rooms, but for a boys weekend away, it was perfect. The rooms were extremely small and hot, feeling like an oven without air conditioning. However, the hotel's location was unbeatable for exploring the nearby attractions and great restaurants. The dining options were stylish but limited, and the service was excellent with helpful and friendly staff.

This hotel had its highs and lows for me. The room, although a bit noisy due to the renovated building, was still useful for my travels, and the price at $156 per night was reasonable. The service, while the cleaning staff were beyond helpful, gave off a pretentious vibe at times, particularly with their interactions during the night. The location was good and met my needs in Wellington, being close to many restaurants, although there was a lack of initiative from the staff. The dining experience was lovely, especially considering the quality of the room. Overall, there were some areas that could be improved but my stay was satisfactory.

I found the hotel to be conveniently located with updated decor, right next to the elevator shaft. The rooms, while compact, were clean and had basic facilities. The service was outstanding throughout my entire 7-day stay, with the staff being incredibly helpful and accommodating. The dining experience was mixed, with lovely and well-presented meals but a slight disappointment during our Friday night dinner. Overall, a reasonably priced stay with some minor drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a bit disappointing as my front room had more natural light, but upgrading due to the heat was necessary. The service was decent, with polite staff but not overly attentive. The location was convenient, but small improvements could make it better. The dining options were overpriced for what was offered. The facilities were adequate but not exceptional.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great, right on Cuba St, very central and convenient to dining and places to visit in Wellington. The service was excellent, with staff going out of their way to help us with extra towels and holding our bags. However, the small and smelly room, combined with the noise at night and lack of aircon, made my stay less than ideal.

I absolutely loved the location of this hotel, you can't beat it! Being in the heart of Wellington was a huge plus, close to all the best eateries, bars, and with a great waterfront view. The rooms, although a bit small, were not serviced during our stay as requested. The only downside was the strong smell of fried food from the extractor fan tube on the roof below.

The room's studio style is as expected, but next time I'll enjoy the lobby and bar more. It was just a little too small to be comfortably excellent, making it difficult to use two suitcases. The room felt pokey, hot, and expensive, not being a twin room.
