The rooms are clean & spacious, offer excellent kitchen facilities, & comfortable beds. We have stayed here several times & it will always be our go-to hotel for a few days in Wellington.

Adina CityLife Wellington

8/10 Good

"Excellent location. Beds and pillows great. Bathrooms good. Spacious for 3 bed apt. Staff nice. Downsides very pricey for not having the room serviced over the day ( we were there 2 nights), having the pressure washer on the bedroom window's at 8.30 in the morning was loud and unexpected, the apartment was up a flight of stairs ( no lift access) which would have been good to know in the listing. It really is the location that makes it a good place to stay."
