The Sebel Wellington Lower Hutt

8/10 Good

"Poor communication. Everything else was great"

Champers Motor Inn

2/10 Terrible

"Don't stay here, it makes you sick. Mould smell mixed with powerful sanitizer smell. Black mould in bathroom, no extractor. No aircon in room. Eventually found electric heater in cupboard behind couch, which we had to move to get to cupboard. Have decided to not use Expedia after this awful experience. "

Camellia Court Motel

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful place to stay! Very clean and has everything you need. Jin was amazing, so friendly and helpful and he made our visit very easy. Great communication when I phoned to enquire about a late check in. I would highly recommend and will definitely stay again next time we are in town. Thanks Jin for a great experience 😊"

The Zen Den - Secret Refuge on Birch Street

10/10 Excellent

"All in all a great experience, clear communication at all stages of booking and checking in . A small very tidy modern unit which suited our week long stay in Wellington. Handy to all services such as Queensgate Mall and bus and train station. Only a few minutes from Petone dinning options and experiences in Jacksons Street. On street parking was never a problem. Would certainly recommend and use this unit again."

Boulcott Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Had a small kitchenette with microwave and refrigerator with cookware and dishes. Room was very clean. Had a small balcony. No restaurant on site but there are options nearby. There is even a grocery store to buy water and stuff. We get very safe. They give access to a well equipped gym which was amazing. The housekeepers gave us bandaid when my daughter got hurt. I locked myself out by accident in night- the manager answered the ring and helped open my door within few minutes, even though the front office was closed. Overall great experience."
