Motel in Wellington

“We had a wonderful experience. It was a very nice, spacious room with great amenities. We were lucky enough to have been given a room upgrade. Great location within walking distance to a lot of different things (beach, museum, markets, Courtney Place, Cuba street).”

“Our stay at Sofitel Wellington was absolutely wonderful. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a welcoming and elegant atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They were full of local knowledge and pointed us toward some fantastic nearby attractions, which really enhanced our visit. The location was perfect — close to plenty of activities and great places to explore, all within easy walking distance. We also thoroughly enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the hotel; the food was outstanding and truly one of the highlights of our stay. Overall, we had such a memorable experience at Sofitel Wellington. Thank you to the entire team for your warm hospitality and exceptional service — we can’t wait to return!”

“Wonderful hotel in a perfect location. The rooms are extremely comfortable in the pool. Deck is very modern and beautiful. We had to catch a late flight and they were super accommodating and allowed us to stay at the hotel until 2:00 p.m. for no extra charge.”

“It was an amazing final stop on North Island, we travelled by car from Auckland. Fully equipped room incl washing and drying machine, was a bless. Fully equipped kitchen if you'd like to cook during holiday time. Breakfast has some options however there's no coffee machine or veggie options. It's really close to historical/government city part.”

“Easy check-in. The room was very nice with a retro style. The bathroom was HUGE, the shower was a great size with a fold down seat and a washer / dryer combo machine. The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa is a 5 min walk and a must visit to see the Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War exhibition. Lots of restaurants close by! Parking can be tough to find!”

“We held our car clubs 25th Anniversary at the Grasslands, the venue and staff were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much”

“What an outstanding place to stay. We have arrived from Whakatāne, to find a clean,well resourced, comfortable unit, perfect for us. Even room inside for the bikes. Stoked with this place, and immediately across the road from the train station.”

“Very pleasant and Rainbow was very very helpful and made the stay a pleasure. Would stay there again any time.”

“We had a very enjoyable stay at the Glimer Apartment Hotel. Very nice room, had everything we needed and the king size bed was amazingly comfortable. Although situated on a hilly area, it was very easy to get to Courtenay place by elevator and escalators. I would recommend.”

“Love this place! Super cheap and in a great location. The Grazies restaurant is really beautiful and the steak meal was beautiful. The only downfall would be the buffet breakfast which I got last time I stayed. The food was cooked great, but I was just expecting a little more variety, like scrambled eggs, breakfast sausages, mushrooms etc, like what you would normally see. Definitely recommend this place the staff are really lovely too.”

“Very highly recommend this motel! The location is perfect - right beside a bus stop, and walking distance to the supermarket. The daily service was excellent. The studio we stayed in was perfect - new and clean. It was very quiet. The bed was really comfortable with a bamboo topped mattress. The staff were super helpful and very friendly. We look forward to staying again.”

“QT Wellington is a fantastic stay. The service is warm and genuinely friendly, especially the team at the restaurant, which makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The location couldn’t be better — just across from Te Papa museum and right in the heart of Wellington’s vibrant waterfront. I also loved the artsy atmosphere throughout the hotel, from the lobby, the bar to the rooms, which gives the place so much character. A great choice if you want both comfort and a creative vibe.”

“The cleanest, most comfortable motel we have ever stayed at. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the cleaners certainly take pride in their work. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.”

“My family and I just spent 3 nights here and had a lovely stay. The rooms are excellent and the staff at the dinning room are very thoughtful and caring. A special thanks to Inder who helped my wife and I set up dinning for two young children every morning. I would definitely stay here again.”

“I stay in Wellington a lot and I think this the best hotel I've stayed in. Everything was just perfect; the drop off and pick up area, the access to the main street, the room, the bed, the amount of milk and coffee, the shower pressure. Even the breakfast options at Sierra cafe were perfect. Will stay here from now on.”

“Great place to stay for a few days. To have a kitchen and laundry machines was very useful. Good walkable location to a variety of restaurants. Staff were very helpful, even lent me an umbrella for the wet weather. I had only one issue, and that was the door to my room would move when the next room open and close their door. So it sounded like someone was trying to open my room door. Was a bit unsettling. Overall it was a very good place.”

“Wondful experience. Love the old lift”

“For an older motel, the hospitality and service, and the location to the hospital far outweighed the upgrades the motel does not have. When my husband had a heart attack and was helicoptered to Wellington, the beautiful lady that runs the motel was extremely accommodating, including letting me leave my car there after I checked out so I didn't have to pay for hospital parking while I was waiting for him to be discharged. The water pressure in the shower was amazing. There was more coffee, hot chocolate, and sugar sachets than any other motel I have ever stayed in, and for main road, it was pretty quiet in my room. The location to Wellington Regional Hospital couldn't be better. Literally straight across the road. And there are lots of amenities in walking distance including a supermarket. Would I stay here again? Without a doubt. Would I recommend you stay? Absolutely, as long as you can overlook the need of upgrades and just appreciate what a hard working dedicated motellier provides in terms of hospitality and warmth.”

“We had a fantastic stay at U Residence Hotel while visiting Wellington for a conference. The location is absolutely perfect—close to everything we needed. The team went out of their way to look after us and made our stay extra special. Special thanks to Hetanshi and Chinmay for their exceptional service and attention to detail. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Wellington!”

“Perfectly impersonal and brilliantly minimalist. Big, bright windows, and furnishings with simple, clean lines made the room an ideal sanctuary. Kettle, microwave, fridge, TV, and tea/coffee supplies covered all the bases. A cool little guest closet down the hall held dishware, cutlery, irons and boards, as well as few extra linens. This keeps down the cost of supplying every room with items not everyone uses. The lobby entry and kiosk check-in procedures are simple and well-communicated. As a business model, this hotel is about as sleek an efficient of a passive income generator as you can get in the hospitality space. I want to emphasize that even though the room is simply furnished and designed to be easily cleaned, maintained, and turned over for the next guest, it is not a blank cell, but more like a lovely lKEA showspace. As a bonus, the excellent Oikos Hellenic Cuisine restaurant is just across the road.”

“I have just stayed here over the weekend for a conference. Had a 3rd floor room, so quiet I forgot I was at the airport! The staff were amazing, nothing was a problem. When I asked for the room temperature to be lowered it was. When I rang for more toilet paper it turned up in 5 minutes. The à la carte breakfast is good value for money. Would love to go back one day even though I live locally!”

“The staff were so helpful and organized an upgrade that we weren't able to get online. Throughout our stay the service was outstanding from all the staff. They were all so lovely and professional. They made us feel so special. The hotel is beautiful with lovely decor. Our room was really nice with a lovely view out over the city. And of course there is the chocolate hour! A few tips. It is worth paying a little bit more to get a room with a view. Where the hotel is is a bit isolated with no shops or restaurants nearby. It is worth paying to have your car parked there. We enjoyed just staying and eating at the hotel and only left once during our stay. The only low point was the bathroom door. Because it slid outside the door opening, there were huge gaps so you could hear everything!”

“Rooms were comfortable and tidy . The staff were approachable, professional polite, and attentive. The restaurant meals were excellent delicious. Amazing artisan arts in the area with the best tourists attractions Definitely recommend for friends and see you again”

“We stayed for 2 nights in the suites. It was a super nice and modern city appartement. The location is really just perfect, close to everything. Housekeeping is offered for stays more than 7 nights, but that‘s completely okay. The suite is equiped with a washing machine and a dryer and even washing liquid. Loved it!”

“I would highly recommend this hotel. Great location. Across from the harbour with lovely views. 15 minutes walk to the heart of the city. Delicious breakfast. I would like to thank Anna and Max again who work at the front desk, who both were very kind, helpful and caring with my dilemma due to an error from our Travel Agent. They were extremely helpful.”

“Highly recommend this place. We were needing accomodation close to the hospital and this was perfect. Spacious room, comfortable bed and close to takeaways. Everything was clean and staff were friendly.”

“Overall very nice, as advertised. Cleaning is performed regularly and thoroughly. Quite close to the motorway and windows are single glazed so the noise is quite noticeable. Rooms are nicely furnished, Rooms are a little dated. Enjoyed my stay overall!”

“Everything from check in to check out was on point. Great friendly and helpful staff at the front desk. Helped us with our parking solution promptly and without any hassles. Great food and drinks from the bar, and the staff there were amazing as well. The cleaners kept the room immaculate during our stay. Would definitely stay there again without hesitation.”

“Perfect for an overnight transit stay. The price was reasonable for the room and shared bathroom. Loved the artwork outside, can't miss the building. The owner/manager was extremely helpful.”

“Perfecto. Staff were awesome. Some noise inside by inconsiderate guests arriving late at night but no noise from outside at all. Location perfect, we flew at 6am. Have stayed probably 4 or 5 x now and have already rebooked for my next trip.”
