Rydges Wellington Airport

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor
"Don’t order the room service curry unless you can tolerate super spicy food. Should have come with a 5 chilli spice level warning. I had an upset stomach, sweating and couldn’t get to sleep."

Naumi Studio Wellington
"My room facing Cuba St was too hot and I could not work the air conditioning. The ceiling fan was helpful, but I needed aircon. The TV also was not connecting to wifi."

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
"This property is in a very central location near to restaurants, busses, and the Quay. We thought it made a great home base from which to explore Wellington. The front desk staff was very helpful when we had questions."
