I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were kept clean and tidy every day, with fresh towels provided on some occasions. However, the service at the reception desk left much to be desired. On the bright side, the location was incredibly convenient, just across the road from the railway station, offering easy access to transport links. As for the facilities, they were not elaborated upon, but I found them satisfactory overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was excellent, just across from the train station, making it convenient for transportation. The rooms were basic, with all my belongings neatly packed on the tables. While the shared bathroom was a downside, the queen-size bed was comfortable. The towel provided was a nice touch, although more amenities would have been appreciated.

The rooms were basic but comfortable. My things were neatly organized on the tables, and the queen-size bed was cozy. However, having a shared bathroom was a bit inconvenient with only one towel provided.

The service was decent. The receptionist was helpful in giving directions, but I didn't fully understand what hospitality means. Maybe some improvement in customer service training would be beneficial.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The location is convenient, right in front of the railway station, making it easy to explore Wellington City. The staff at the reception were helpful, but I wish they better understood hospitality. The room with a shared bathroom was in good condition, providing a comfortable stay.

This hotel offers a great location, just across the street from the main train terminal. The rooms are kept clean daily, although the soap dispensers could use a refill. The service could use some improvement, especially at the reception desk and with the housekeeping staff.

I can't say enough about this hotel's location; right in the heart of downtown Wellington and with excellent transport links in and out of the city. The rooms are beautifully decorated and well-equipped, just like in the photos, and I particularly enjoyed relaxing by the gas fire. However, the service could definitely be improved as the staff at the reception desk seemed uninterested and not very helpful. The homemade dishes at the dining area were a lovely touch, although the menu was somewhat limited. Despite the service drawbacks, the facilities were top-notch, making my stay comfortable and convenient.
