FAQs about hotels in Wellington









Wild and Wonderful Welly

Acclaimed for its thriving art, film and cultural scene, windy ‘Welly’ is enclosed by mountains such as Kaukau and Victoria on one side and the picturesque Wellington Harbour on the other. Wellington has the distinction of being the world’s southernmost capital city.

As the gateway to New Zealand’s magical south island, Queens Wharf is headquarters for ferry services across Cook Strait as well as in the direction of Eastbourne on the other side of the harbour.

Get your bearings by using the Kelburn cable car that starts at Lambton Quay and travels up to the Botanic Gardens and Carter Observatory with its sweeping views across the Miramar Peninsula and local bays.

Don’t miss a visit to New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, which also incorporates the National Art Gallery. Cuba Street offers a multicultural touch and includes the Wellington Night Market with an array of international cuisines. Ascot Street is a lively shopping precinct.

Wellington Airport has flights to other domestic destinations as well as Australia and Fiji. Booking.com can help you choose your hotel to round off a fantastic city trip vacation.

    Bus rides and train rides are awesome, just get yourself a Snapper card and more than one person can travel with that one card. Only one person can travel on that card on trains. Travelling in bus was also good, no hassle to driving or parking, bus service are almost everywhere till late nights and safe environments.

    We thought Wellington was a beautiful City.

    We thought Wellington was a beautiful City. We were there in late March. The weather was lovely and cool, just the right temperature if you like to explore a new location on foot. The bus system in the City is brilliant. The Metlink public transport card system can be a little intimidating but once you master it, it works exceptionally well. Otherwise, you can pay cash when travelling on the buses or trains, but it is quite significantly more expensive to pay this way. Also, it pays to check out the fare before you travel and have the correct money when getting on because nearly everyone uses the prepaid Metlink card so the driver has limited change. The seafood in New Zealand is the best in the world in my opinion. If you are staying centrally and have cooking facilities, I would recommend the Seafood Market in Lambton Quay or Cuba Street. It is not a huge shop but the fish comes in daily. Their fish and chips are pretty good as well. But there are plenty of seafood restaurants around that serve great food. Wellington is a a gorgeous city and reminded me very much of San Francisco.

    Visited Te Papa Museum, Wellington Museum, Botanic Gardens and Portrait Gallery, all free access and excellent. Also took Cable Car (as you do) but the walk to and from Botanic Gardens is relatively easy as well. Went to Te Papa Museum and spent the entire day there - excellent. Ate at the Crab Shack and had the best meal in our entire NZ 2 week holiday - unfortunately, it was closed for 2 out of the 3 days we were in Wellington or we would have been back.

    Queen's Wharf has lots of museums/shopping/restaurants and is worth a few trips. Weta Workshop is a fun activity to do. Wellington Hurricanes rugby is fun if they have a home game. It's pretty easy to navigate the CBD. Zealandia is a fun day trip. The Te Papa museum is worth a couple of visits. One of the best museums I have seen.

    Wellington is a people city and not expensive to enjoy. From the airport you can be in the centre in 20 minutes by bus. Depending on your place to stay you can walk and discover in a day. People are very friendly and easy to approach. The venues, the food, the places for entertainment and the quality of service is wonderfuly. You will fall in love with Wellington.

    We stayed on the back end of a family visit in Central North Island as an opportunity to rekindle some memories of Wellington from earlier years. The Botanical gardens, Cable Car journey, Te Papa museum. Shopping, and restaurants were all great. The metro bus service is great for seniors on the "Gold Card" was magic, especially for airport transfers - free from 0900 to 1500hrs.

    The bed was very comfortable. Nice use of glass in the shower made an otherwise small room feel fairly spacious (but be aware that between that and the sliding glass, non-airtight bathroom door, you want to be sharing the room with a *very* good friend). Staff were great. Wasn't allowed to use the gym or restaurant because of my vax status, but that's not the hotel's fault. Aircon/heatpump, which isn't a given at this price point in Wellington.

    I’m an ex Wellington resident so I know the town and this place is an excellent central location, a short stroll/walk to everywhere. It was a standard quest apartment which is to say it’s a well appointed and serviced modernish apartment. It’s in the back of the old bank building which is a central landmark in Wellington. Pretty much the heart of the city.

    The room was clean and had all the necessary amenities for a short stay. The bed was super comfortable. The buffet breakfast was excellent and a lovely way to end our visit before heading out to walk around the city centre. Judging by the number of people there from outside the hotel, the citizens of Wellington rate the breakfast also.

    The bed was terrific, and Its location in the centre of Wellington CBD, a quick walk away from Cuba St, was unique also; I liked how it was two rooms merged and not one room with two bedrooms it meant you got two of everything for much cheaper than other options. Also, this place had no stupid Bonds Hidden fees or any other gotchas.

    We were in Wellington to mountain bike and required safe storage for our bikes, the staff allowed us to take our bikes up to the room providing they were clean. This was amazing. It would be great if the hotel had a lock up storage cage or room available for storage of bikes as the popularity of biking in the city grows.
