I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with its clean and tidy rooms, although I was disturbed by noise at 6 am. The location, right across to and down the harbor with a partial harbor view, was excellent for exploring the town. However, the standard of dining did not match the quality of the rooms.

I have to say, my stay at this hotel had its highs and lows. On one hand, the location couldn't have been better, right by the waterfront and surrounded by fantastic dining options. Yet, the rooms were a bit creepy with their vast open spaces, cramped layout, and drafty windows, even though the bed was huge, considering the location. The service was top-notch with dinners served by a large, friendly, and efficient staff team. The dining experience, especially the silver service with a wide selection of quality food, definitely made up for any room discomfort. The facilities were well-equipped, but there were a few negatives like being low on underwear, which surprised me, given the otherwise luxurious feel of the place.

The hotel had clean and very comfortable rooms, perfect for private dining events, but not up to the soft furnishing standard of other room types.

The hotel is centrally located, close to Cuba Street and Courtney Place, with nice views of the harbor. The rooms were quiet, comfortable, and nice last time, although dated with old-fashioned TV sets. The service was excellent, with super friendly and accommodating staff. The location, while central, could be noisy near the lifts. The dining experience was superb in the Club Lounge, with a wide choice of food. The facilities were well-prepared and an added bonus.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a very nice bathroom with excellent shower facilities, but there was an issue with the air conditioning sounding like a tractor was inside the room. The service was friendly overall, but there were some moments of confusion and scrutiny. The location was superb, right in the CBD and across the road from Te Papa museum. The dining experience was subpar considering the prices. The facilities were on great service levels.

However, I was a bit disappointed that my room wasn't ready when I arrived in the afternoon. The service was excellent overall, with staff being pleasant, professional, and very helpful. The hotel's location was great for exploring as it was near many attractions, but I wasn't happy about the high parking fee. The dining experience was average, and I found better value for money options nearby. The facilities offered were good, but the hotel definitely needs some refurbishment.

We decided to book a surprise evening for my husband and me to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary at the hotel. The room on the 5th floor offered good views of the harbor and Te Papa, but the air conditioning unit outside the window was a bit noisy. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating, from the doorman to the cleaners and concierge, going out of their way to assist us with our luggage. The location couldn't be beat, with all major attractions within walking distance, and even offered a great view of the New Year's Eve firework display. However, there was an issue with being overcharged at checkout, which was a bit unsettling. Nevertheless, being close to Oriental Bay for morning exercise and Lambton Quay for a picturesque view of Wellington Harbor made the stay memorable.
