Mercure Wellington Abel Tasman 3 stars

Everything was excellent as it always is. A great bed, great room, great service. No problem sleeping at all even though it was a Saturday Night. Would happily come back and stay again. In fact I am returning in May.

The Mercure Abel Tasman is centrally located and well within walking distance of the CBD and Victoria University of Wellington (albeit with a step walk to get to the Uni). The hotel is an older hotel but the rooms are large, renovated and well maintained. The staff are great and the downstairs restaurant makes a great coffee as well!

The appeal of the Mercure Wellington Abel Tasman is its unique style: a small, boutique hotel or so it seems as it has few rooms over several floors. [I am usually on Level 7]. It retains the class of bygone eras. The breakfasts and evening meals are both well-presented and value for money. The wait staff are attentive to one's needs and can be relied upon for guidance in selection of an evening meal.. The hotel also appeals to groups of International students and this gives the hotel are further unique quality. Reception is very much attuned to the needs of visitors from other areas of New Zealand, as well as other parts of the world.

Have stayed before but this time not as well looked after as previously. First room taken to had someone obviously staying in it, Second had an appalling smell like strong mould or chemicals . I'd asked for a quiet room but this one was street frontage so couldn't keep windows open due to noise. Aircon on full helped but room should not have been let that night.$1 Breakfast as part of package was very average but it was not stated I then couldn't use my points towards cost of hotel. I'd rather have used the points.

It was quite a warm day when we arrived. The building was not air-conditioned and the solitary pedestal fan in the room did not handle the afternoon sun. The curtains were open so the fan never really had a chance. The Abel Tasman is an older hotel than all Mercure hotels I have stayed in previously so perhaps I have been spoiled.

We stayed at Mercure Abel Tasman last year and decided to stay again this year. Located conveniently near most CBD attractions, it makes it really easy to walk down to Cuba St or Courtney Place for a fine meal!The room was clean, the bathroom was clean and provided with fresh towels and shampoo/soap etc. There's a mini fridge and a microwave in the room along with some basic cutlery and bowls. There's not scrubber for the dishes though, so we had to use the dishcloth.The hotel is very nice, on new year's day they left a note asking if we wanted our room serviced as they're aiming to have their housekeeping staff finish by 12pm so they can spend time with their families - we ended up calling reception and letting them know that they can skip our room for that day.The double beds are nice and firm but the single bed was quite squishy - so generally comfortable depending on firmness you're used to!There's no aircon in the rooms so it can get a little stuffy, however you can open the window and an electric fan is provided in our rooms which helps a lot.Overall we had an excellent stay for the price - very affordable! Would love to stay again next time.

If your are spending time visiting spots like Te Papa, there's no where better than the Abel Tasman for your base. Excellent service and great rooms. We went to the Terracotta Warriors exhibition, and the Hotel was ideal for the walk across town. Plus there was the shopping on the way.

This hotel lets the brand down. The lift is dodgy, the room extremely small and bathroom below basic standards. I slipped on slippery , slopey tiles in shower . I hurt my hip and informed rec emotion. They were lukewarm with response of “ Oh that’s no good, hope you’re ok”. At no time was I contacted further to see if I was ok . The breakfast is terrible and we didn’t eat there after the first morning even though it was free. No complimentary coffee for Platinum members is poor form. Overall run do an , old and poorly maintained . Difficult to sleep with noise and car park next door .

It was great to stay in this hotel at the end of my world trip. It is located not far from the centre. The breakfast was excellent and the double room was big and clean. Only the windows could be renovated.

This hotel is on the fringe of the CBD. It is an older building that has been given a cosmetic makeover with upgraded soft furnishings, carpets and a lick of paint. The the dividing walls are still original and provide no insulation from the noise of other guests. The windows are only single glazed do not seal well, there would seem to be no notable views. The room was comfortable but our stay was marred by noise from the adjoining room, and from the construction site across the street from around 7am (even on a Saturday morning).

We enjoyed the stay in this hotel. The room was a good size and in good condition. We had a good sleep for the two nights we stayed. We did not use the dining room this time as we did not have breakfast in our package.

This was a work trip, it is in a good location in the city.It has an inhouse restaurant and has a good selection of food on the menu and a happy hour for drinks.The hotel is in a good clean condition.

I arrived on a very late/early flight in from Sydney and didn't arrive at the hotel until after 1am, that staff were exceptional - they processed my check in quickly and were also kind enough to let me know that if there was anything I needed that they would be on reception all night and to not hesitate to let them know. The perfect amount of speed, accuracy and care.

Great location - smack in the city. Helpful staff. Clean rooms. However, the rooms are very very dated. No airconditioning but the rooms do come with fans and heaters (not sure if this is norm for Wellington).

Parking around this hotel is an issue as the basement parking is unable to accommodate our Hyundai Imax. Our rooms are without air conditioning and sometimes the rooms are stuffy. Heater struggle to work at night. Toilet exhaust is not sufficient and room noise insulation is poor. Conversations at next door could be heard clearly. Beds are ageing and in need of replacement.
