Hotels Near Otari Wiltons Bush - Ian Galloway Park entrance in Wellington

I was so impressed with the reception staff, who were friendly, accommodating and professional. Claudia and Ella went out of their way to help, and did it with a smile. Claudia met us to drop off a key for the car park, which was very thoughtful as my mother can't walk far these days. Our room is lovely, so central, modern and fresh. Great to just step out the door, and be so close to the shops and other activities...its just a hop skip and a jump from the cable car. Given the 5 star treatment we've received, I would definitely stay here again, when next visiting Wellington. I will also consider booking a Quay hotel when traveling around NZ. Thanks again to Ella and Claudia!

This place was booked by a family member for the criteria of being cheap and close to the CBD. The location was excellent and could not really fault that. The parking was a bit variable with lots of free metered parks when we arrived on Xmas Day but found it hard to find one during the late afternoons and had to park in adjacent streets on some days. The parking garage options were also a bit pricey. As we arrived on Xmas Day, no one assisted us with our luggage so we took it upon ourselves to get a luggage trolley and go up the lifts to our rooms. Passageways leading to the rooms were a bit narrow. The key access was fine although the door strike plate was hanging on by a single screw and looked like it would fall off anytime soon. The rooms were small, functional with a sofa bed that gave me a slightly sore back in the morning. The main bedroom had a queen bed which was nice. Kitchen facilities were adequate. Room service was a bit lacking - on our 3 night stay, the room was only cleaned on the second morning and we only had 2 towels for the 4 of us initially. The bathroom was really cramped and uncomfortable. Did not try the washer dryer. The views were reasonable - mainly of buildings across the street. Wifi access was rather sporadic. Overall I would only recommend this to people on business for a maximum of 2 nights. Not really designed for families.

Have stayed at this Ibis in central Wellington twice now, and it never disappoints = you know just what you'll get; clean and functional spaces, rooms, bathrooms etc. Breakfast was very good also, and plentiful. Pleasant staff throughout also; an all-round positive experience as part of work travels. Although Ibis is predominantly a budget hotel brand elsewhere in the world, such as Europe - this hotel is priced for location, and the local market; hence mid-range.

We stayed at this hotel when visiting Wellington. (Rm705) The staff were friendly and helpful. The foyer and corridors looked tired and in need of refurbishment. We stayed on the top floor overlooking a side street. The room was clean well appointed and of a good size. The beds were comfortable and the shower had a good pressure. Car parking was limited and a tight squeeze to get in. We could have done with double glazing windows as we did have some street noise from rowdy people. The restaurant at the hotel needed to display More Gluten Free Options as this prevented us eating there. Al's Top Tips Ask for a room not over looking Willis Street. Take a good umbrella / waterproof clothing as it rains alot here and can be quite windy.

The name of the hotel is known locally as MAUMI hotel, and the name on this site did not convey it. It feels like the old building is being carefully used, and the stairs and elevators are old. Even though it was a four-story building, it was taller around here, and the floors of each floor were spread out vertically and horizontally. The former CUBA street is the busiest downtown area, with many restaurants, shops, and cafes. The room faced the street, but the weekend noise disappeared by 12:00 and we had a quiet night. Until 8 o'clock in the morning of the holiday, the car was hardly running.

We had no view from the room on this one but location-wise, the Q is excellent. It is on the main street making it the ideal base to explore Wellington. It is a tiny, sleepy city so it was good to be in the heart of it, although there is no little late-night supermarket (after 10) handy! Our room is pretty spacious with two double beds with a long desk/dressing table (for displaying all the 40th birthday cards) with a couple of comfy chairs alongside the desk chair. There’s good lighting all-round plus spare bedding in the cupboard. We didn’t get to use the kitchenette in our time although having a fridge is essential to me. In addition, there is an ironing board, hairdryer and kettle amongst the home comforts. Storage-wise there are about 8 quality wooden hangers in a single wardrobe and sufficient shelving and drawers to look after us for four nights. The bathroom has a good size bath with jets and the all-important heated towel rail so we didn’t need to have them changed. The service was great and on the other side of the hotel, we had use of coin-operated washing machine and dryer and were able to buy a small laundry detergent box from reception.

Nice serviced apartment hotel in a fabulous location perfect for accessing all parts of this astonishing city. Less than 10 minutes walk to the Basin Reserve cricket ground which was the main reason for our visit to catch the Kiwis v England 5-day test match. Friendly staff, nicely appointed rooms and suites with a washing machine and tumble dryer in the bathroom. The washing machine was essential for a 9-night stay with us only bringing carry on cabin luggage. We never used the tumble dryer as they are so bad for the environment and clothes tended to dry quite quickly naturally as well making use of the heated towel rail in the bathroom. We had a suite which consisted of a combined kitchen and living area, separate bedroom and large en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. Absolutely perfect for a long stay.

This hostel is right in the city center, there is a grocery store across the road, and it is a few minutes walk to the Papa Museum. The whole hostel and our room were very clean. We were impressed with the fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, and we felt great with a hairdryer and a straight hair stick in the ladies bathroom. The staff was friendly and you could still have a very affordable breakfast at the hostel. When you are in Wellington, we definitely recommend you to stay at this hotel.

Enjoyed our stay, central location, friendly helpful staff. We thought we had booked a wheelchair accessible room and I guess it was but it was very tight as far as manouvering a person in a chair around. Fortunately my wife still has ability to get out of chair and walk a few steps into toilet area etc but we did think that if someone had less mobility than her, it would have been way more of a struggle. Still enjoyed our stay, great place.

I don’t normally like to stay at this hotel but decided to give it another go as I do like the location and views from the harbour view rooms. Mistake. The room was well over-priced at $340 for the night and the service was poor at every step of the way. Parking is limited, tight and if it is raining, you can get quite wet if parking across the road. If parking, there is no way to enter the hotel as the door at the car park side requires a room key to access. Impossible when you haven’t yet checked in. I rang the bell for service several times with no response. I eventually knocked on the door when a staff member saw me, she let me in and promptly turned her back without acknowledging me. Reception is actually 7 floors down but this staff member certainly wasn’t going to tell me that. After checking in, and paying $25 to park across the road, I was then told to put a pass on my dashboard. Yep, they have all the vehicle details from check in, but insist on you then going up 7 floors, and walking out of the hotel and across the road to put the pass on the dash otherwise you risk being towed! Reception already has all the details. This all took longer because one of the two lifts was out of service. Check previous reviews - this is not new. I thought I’d go to he bar for a drink after this however it was closed to the public for a private function and I was told I could not be in that area. At this point I decided to go elsewhere for dinner. On exiting the one lift that was working, it was blocked by a vacuum cleaner that had been placed across the lift door by a staff member. I chose to eat breakfast elsewhere and got out of there as soon as I could. I used the express checkout - but never received a GST invoice / receipt. I had to follow that up also. I stay in hotels regularly for business - it won’t be this one again. No part of this experience was well executed. I advise businesses on how to deliver a great customer experience. This hotel is a case study in how not to do it and that is the only thing that I am grateful for from this visit.
