While I cannot provide feedback on the hotel as a whole, as we only stayed for one night (and were pretty exhausted from our travels) before travelling further. That said it worked out well for us. A great location in downtown Wellington close to lots of shops / cafes etc. and to the waterfront, the tram, and the beehive. The staff were friendly, the room was just right, and the beds were comfy,

We needed a place to stay for the night, as were transporting our sons' gear home for storage, while they are in between places; Willis Wellington Hotel location and value for money, worked for us. Our accomodation had plenty of room for 2 people. Our room was on the 4th floor, so traffic noise wasn't really an issue. Breakfast was great. GREAT friendly staff.

Best location with parking for the price. Booked budget accommodation for family of three adults and it was a welcomed respite after an 8-hour drive.. The beds were clean, soft and comfortable. Amazing water pressure in the shower! The staff we saw were friendly and helpful. We got extra towels and blankets from housekeeping. Curtains and nets on sash windows for privacy and window could be locked open for fresh air. Kettle and basic drink making supplies were made available. There was a small floor heater available.

The room was warm and heater was easy to adjust. Bathroom was simple, clean & had what I needed. Beautiful decor and the BEST location ever for a "not in transit, but in transit passenger."- really perfect.
