ibis Wellington Hotel 3.5 stars

Central city location to walk & bus anywhere. Spacious room with bar fridge and tea making facilities. Very clean and comfortable beds. By requesting when booking we had car parking under the hotel great in a capital city. Will stay again.

I love the central loation of this Ibis hotel. Being able to easily walk to the main shopping streets, the cable car, the botanical gardens, or the other way along the harbour and to Te Papa, is really handy and so easy. Nice rooms with standard provisions (kettle/tea/coffee/milk/shampoo/conditioner/soap/body wash).

Our one night stay was without a glitch. The service we received from the staff was excellent. The room was clean and well-equipped. We would stay there again.

Second time staying at this hotel. I love the location, being only a block or two away from both the main shopping fare around Lambton Quay/Willis Street, and a block or two back from the harbour. The rooms I've had have been different from one another, even though classed as the same. One was small, and looked out onto an enclosed concreted wall area. I was glad that this time I got one that looked out onto the street, and was a larger room. Rooms include kettle/tea/coffee/milk/shampoo/condition/soap/body wash. Only odd things I found this time around was that when I'd been out of the room and came back, a ceiling panel in my bathroom had been opened and left open, which made for a sliver of anxiety/paranoia when I went to shower. There was no note in the room about anyone going up into the ceiling space, or why it had been left open, but I ignored it for the most part. The other odd thing about this hotel is lack of proper room service meals. There are a handful of items one can order in a paper bag type set up, but if you're like me and like that little bit of a luxurious treat of having a tray brought to your room, complete with real crockery, cutlery and fabric napkin, this isn't a hotel that provides it. Not a big deal but it's the little things that can make a leisurely getaway just that bit more enjoyable. No bath in the room either, so no chance of a luxury bubble bath, but again, not a big deal. One other niggly (but slightly humerous) think was that the room attendants kept forgetting to put the casters of the bed into the little stops on the floor. Hence, every time they'd been in the room and I sat on the bed, naturally putting my back against the wall, the bed shot forward about two feet. Annoying? A little at first before I looked under the bed and realised I just needed to rectify what the room attendants had missed. Overall, I do love this hotel and will continue to stay here when I next come. Easy walk to shops, both museums, bus stops (including to the airport), and the gorgeous harbour (2km walk to Oriental Parade). Good value for money.
