"Rooms were COLD, but once I found the heater, that helped. Access is down a long drive which is drive in / Reverse out, especially when the neighbour positioned their rubbish bins at the edge of their drive to stop anyone using it as a turning space! Finding the house could be helped with better street numbering at the end of the drive - the number is on the letter box which is seen when heading in the opposite direction. Very quiet at night and the ability to park off the road was good."

Top Tawa Hotel Reviews

Travelodge Hotel Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast staff disnt seem to want tk be there , had to ask multiple times to get the coffee vedning machine to be filled so people could have coffee which was undrinkable , was a proper coffee machine there but staff would not"

Quest 256 Lambton

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent small apartment hotel, great for 2 nights. Good large bed, well appointed kitchen, including washer dryer, fridge, microwave, ironing board and iron, hob and sink. Crockery and irons for 3, dish soap, cloths and tea towels! Possibly the cleanest room I have ever stopped in, it smelt new on arrival. Room was refreshed (bins emptied and new toilet roll) they don’t make your bed but you can request it. Only negative was no in room safe, but not really an issue. Easy access to busses, the waterfront and easy level walk from railway station. Perfect, would stay again"

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

8/10 Good

"Great views of harbour from the junior suite where we stayed. Lounge is right next door so great access for free snacks and non alcoholic drinks, but you do hear others going into it too. Worth it though. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Location is really good, within walking distance of everything in the city that you want to see. I would stay there again easily."

Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Easy to get in and out. Super close to New World and city centre for food. Restaurant on site was over priced and the tap beer wasn't great. TV channels had major interference with weather so couldn't watch TV. Bit disappointing. Shower must be set on a temp as I had it as hot as it would go and it wasn't hot enough. All in all, great stay."
