Wellington hotels near Victoria University of Wellington

Pros: We stayed in 2 of the QT network hotels (Queenstown and Wellington) and both are keeping outstanding standard and both are unique and with a very modern approach. When all the "better" hotels are rather boring or targeting advanced age group, QT is chosing its own path and makes a difference by it's eclectic design, modern art focus and solutions that seem to open a new chapter in the hotel industry. Staff is highly proffessional but also original by the choice of personalities and skillsets and focusing on personalised experience. On top of that I really loved the minibar with a lot of cool stuff you have at hand. You can actually forget about your luggage as each room seems too be selfsufficient - you can find there anything you might need. It's a pleasure to stay there and you actually don't even have to go out ;)

Pros: Location and Art in the room!

Cons: Room wasn’t ready so we were offered to up great and we have to pay for the different!! Not even our false

Pros: Comfortable, clean, individual. Interesting art everywhere.

Cons: Avoid the restaurant. Over priced and pretentious and simply not good enough.

Pros: Great room, wrong location as night time CBD revellers kept us awake, ahead of a 4am alarm call.

Pros: This is a nice hotel in a good location. the staff are friendly but somewhat ineffectual in relation to our issues. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. the bathroom was generous and well appointed. There is a reasonable gym and a small lap pool

Cons: We had a bad room: the air-conditioning did not work for all of the three nights we stayed there. So the nights were stuffy and had to leave a door open until the noise was too much. This room is right under the restaurant kitchen so we got a lot of floor noise especially at cleaning up time from 10 pm till after midnight and then again for breakfast in the morning. We know kitchens make noise so they can't be criticised but it was a bad choice to locate a room underneath. We did not eat there at all. There are many good restaurants nearby with prices and menus that are more attractive. I understand the hotel has been refurbished but I did not think for the price we should have had to discover the problems.

Pros: Staff were super friendly and accommodating. There is a modern and boutique style room, the staff happily changed my room and made my stay enjoyable. Rooms were large with a very comfortable bed. Also had an espresso coffee machine in the room!

Pros: Excellent hotel. Very clean the room we got was spacious the only let down was the tiles in the bathroom were getting a little old and were coming off the surface.

Pros: Well located and very helpful staff.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Where do I start. I loved this place. But it is a bit quirky. Very interesting and worthwhile art is presented through the entire hotel. Our room was massive and greatly comfortable. The breakfast was superb! The presentation of breakfast was without a doubt one of the finest I have ever, go early and get a table beside the window which overlooks the bay. All the staff, lovely.

Cons: Hmmm... nothing comes to mind.

Pros: Good location to walk into central Wellington and to Mount Victoria with parking which is what attracted us.the room was comfortable, well equipped and clean and good advice re local restaurants provided in room information

Cons: There is no outside space to sit which is a pity and the outside of our room was a bit in need of an update. Compared to other places we have stayed this was notable. It is a capital city and we perhaps expected too much for the price but some units were much more updated outside.We were in room 9 on the ground floor and the door lock was very hit and miss which didn’t leave me feeling confident about security. I pointed this out but the staff seemed to just accept this as normal.

Pros: The room is super clean and the location is perect. The host was so nice and freindly. They impressed me with special kindnes when we left a lap- top behind in the room.

Pros: My friend and I spent 3 nights at the Apollo Lodge and we were very pleased with our stay. Staff was pleasant, I believe it was a husband and wife team running the place. The location could not have been better, a 5 minute walk from the downtown area for food and drinks but on a quiet street. Then again, my bed was right by the window so I was woken up a few times by loud people walking by the street. We were in an A-Frame room, which looks like they all border the street. So noise could be an issue in this room type vs. the others.

Cons: Our room also looked different from the online pictures which were of the upstairs rooms. I addressed this with the staff and they said they could not control which pictures were shown. A bit disappointing, but the room was the same layout nonetheless. The beds were not the most comfortable beds but they did just fine.

Pros: nice and close to the city and attractions.

Pros: Friendly owner,great location.

Cons: Unit was dated and tired,have stayed twice before,rooms were excellent,felt we got the worst room in the place,despite paying good money.

Pros: Clean and tidy

Pros: Very accommodating staff Nice and cosy room Great facilities

Pros: Clean, modern room in great but quiet hlocation just a short walk from waterfront, Te Papa etc. Next to lots of food options.

Cons: Room was really warm, but it had been a very hot day. For us if there’d been a fan in the room it would have been perfect.

Pros: Beds were very comfortable. Rooms were a nice size.

Pros: Friendly staff. Convenient location. Comfortable room.

Cons: Water pressure in bathroom could have been stronger.

Pros: The location was perfect. The room was clean and the beds are very comfortable.

Cons: We interacted with 2 staff members from the front desk. One was incredibly helpful and kind. The other was rude and acted as though we were just 'stupid tourists' despite the fact that I would imagine a lot of their business is from tourism. When we valet parked our car, they required that we go down to get our luggage from the vehicle and then had to walk back up the ramp against traffic - very odd considering we paid $34 for one night of parking. Then, seeing how we are not from NZ, and discussed our travels, we were not aware that we had to put our card into this slot near the door to engage any power. This was not obvious to us, and it is not customary in hotels in the US. When we called down to ask if they had an idea why our AC wasn't working, the woman (who also worked with us at the front desk) was clearly irritated with us and acted as though we were idiots. While this seems like a small collection of interactions, it left a very poor taste in my mouth in regards to my stay at Novotel Wellington.

Cons: Internet is extra, parking is extra.

Pros: Zero. Everything is overrated. It’s only 1 star hotel not 4 stars.

Cons: No drop off area, accessible ramp is not sheltered (got wet on rainy day), car parking is a nightmare, slow check in & check out, foul smell at hotel corridor carpet, stuffy room with bad air conditioning, the bathroom is a wrongful design (slip and fall hazard), bathroom door hit on the head when using the water closet, shower screen installed right behind the door, no complimentary mineral water, pillows are full with yellowish stains (although covered with crystal white pillow sheet), smelly carpet floor!!!! The hotel breakfast is below standard quality but the price is standard charge $25pp.

Pros: Location was great and the room was clean.

Cons: You had to pay for wifi which is absolutely ridiculous these days.our milk was not replenished so we went out to have a coffee instead, so this will be the last time we stay at the novotel. It was advertised as having a pool, but you have to actually go up the road to an associated hotel to use the pool.

Pros: Room was clean and staff were great, friendly and accomodating

Cons: Lacks any facilities, no pool, not even a laundry to do some washing. Sent down the road to their sister hotel the Ibis with bags of washing was not something I was going to bother doing.

Pros: Very comfortable beds. Lots of space in the room. Decor was lovely. Super relaxing hotel experience.

Pros: Nice room and nice bathroom. I’m picky about bathrooms - this one was nice.

Cons: I was only there for a night. I didn’t discover any negatives.

Pros: Location.

Cons: Bed to soft and had bad roll together.

Pros: Loved that the kids were each given a singing soft toy kiwi.

Cons: Cleaners didn’t arrive until 2pm and kept forgetting to bring towels. Poor service.

Pros: Had breakfast this morning - really good - express breakfast good value (only improvement would be to include barista coffee in that price) I had dinner in the restaurant - had the beef - excellent - best beef I've had for a long time. Would recommend highly

Cons: This is not a criticism because it relates to all hotel chains - rooms for solo travellers with only one bed in would be great, at a cheaper rate - we only use one bed, one towel etc. Just a thought when doing future developments - there are a lot of solo travellers these days - either for work or pleasure.

Pros: Very clean and staff were great . Really close to shopping district

Cons: Far from popular restaurants and tourist spots

Pros: Everything met our needs for one stsy

Cons: We are from another country so not all was as we are used to

Pros: Clean and comfortable. Great location for a run around the bay in the morning.

Cons: The bathroom is small. Not enough knee room to sit straight on the toilet. Fridge is noisy

Pros: Location was great

Cons: You can tell it is old with cheap ways to make it look newer
