Top Newtown Hotel Reviews

Liberty Apartment Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good place, but parking was difficult. Despite telling the hotel we would arrive after midnight, they still directed us to a parking garage that was closed when we arrived."

Novotel Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The rooms were clean, modern and very well maintained, with daily servicing which was greatly appreciated. The on-site valet parking was a fantastic convenience, and the hotel's central location made it easy to get around and enjoy everything nearby. All of the staff were friendly, welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay, making the overall experience even more enjoyable. We would happily stay here again and would definitely recommend this hotel to others!"

Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT

8/10 Good

"Location was close to waterfront, Te Papa Museum, Takina Wellington Convention and Exhibition Centre, short walk to Courtenay Place and handy to New World for drinks and snacks etc... Appreciated the sauna, gym, pool and spa. Valet parking was handy. Staff were friendly and had good advice on where to eat. The room was spacious, and addition of a small couch (rather than a metal chair with no cushion) to watch the sea views from would be nice. Bathroom was tight with shower and bath. Plenty counter space for all my makeup/toiletries. Room had a well equipped kitchenette with dishwasher. With all the dark wood finishes, some more lights inside wardrobe/cubbies or mirror glass would help with that. There was washer/dryer (that I could not figure out - that's a ME problem, not the hotel's fault). I could not hear any noise from rooms around me. All in all, I would happily stay here again."
