We stayed at the Apollo which was an easy walk into town.
We stayed at the Apollo which was an easy walk into town. Buses to areas out of the city seemed pretty regular. Wellington is a pretty switched on city, with a creative energy and plenty of things to enjoy. Cuba St which is pedestrians only has plenty of cafes and restaurants and the food is top notch. Our favourites for dinner were Loretta’s, Olive, Mr Go’s. Icecream and Creaming sodas at Duck Island, coffees at Pickle and Pie, Cheese Scones beautiful pastries and coffee at Myrtle’s. Some good clothing shops, also recycling shops where there was really good clothing for sale at low prices, good bookstores. A must visit is Te Papa Museum - Level 4 Māori and Pacific Island history is impressive. The museum’s shop is also worth checking out. The lobby of QT Hotel (there’s a golden hippo on the hotel’s exterior) - you don’t need to be a guest to wander in to view the lobby area which includes a magnificent private art collection and a ritzy bar. Plenty of bars with music and Sunday Farmers Market on the waterfront was bustling with plenty of fruit and vegetables along with brunch food and coffee available.

Fun vibrant city easy access to all attractions by foot around the central city, easy bus trip to local beaches or walking distance in the main city area.
Airport within 10 min drive to central city.
Local parks easy drive or walk or bus.
If staying in the city great shopping and local restaurants are easy to access. Local pools are on hand and only a small trip via car or bus. Local supermarkets are handy and have everything you require.
Great local pubs and bars for a night out on the town all within walking distance to you accommodation if staying in town.
Loads to do in Wellington like visiting the Bee hive, cable car, Te papa, local markets, local gardens, and much much more.
Loads of free stuff to do also (we visited the Marvel event being held in wellington).
Wellington is the place to visit for a weekend away with friends, short holiday with the kids you won’t be disappointed.
Do your research before you go and plan your trip as there is so much to see.
Have fun and enjoy Wellington.

I enjoyed how close everything was to the hotel and how easy it was to walk to the places I wanted to see. The waterfront was nearby too. I did go by uber to Zealandia which was amazing and is a great place to visit.

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.
Location was brilliant. We were going to Kinky boots at St James and its right next door. Airport bus almost stops right outside door to as do buses for zoo. Irish pub Jack Hackett is on opposite corner and has great food and entertainment. Easy walking distance to everything in Wellington city. Reception staff are very friendly and helpful. Comfy bed, good shower pressure. Small window but nice enough view over to bay.
Was quiet but did stay Sunday & Monday nights. Very comfortable bed. Nice clean room. Extra tea / coffee etc. items required no problem for staff to supply. Great location to central city shopping and food outlets. Grateful to Manager for compensating me with free breakfast for an issue which inconvenienced me which was NOT the Hotels fault plus a TV cable fault, much appreciated 👍
The attention to detail was very apparent, from the fixtures to the artwork to the amenities provided. We were very impressed. Though there was no front desk, we found that it was not really needed as any questions were answered immediately via phone or email. Very clear instructions as to how to gain entrance to the hotel & the room. Wonderfully, comfy bed and great shower!
The room was spacious, the bed was very roomy and comfortable. We had hired our rental car from the airport so the location was great. We were able to leave our carry on luggage for storage, while we went into Wellington. We enjoyed a drink at the bar. we decided to have brunch in the city.
This is the second time we have stayed at this Rydges Hotel. :-)
Hotel location is ideal as central to most Wellington locations of interest and activities, with easy access to Lambton Quay and then walking distance throughout the CBD. Room was fresh, clean and roomy for 3, ie myself, my husband and adult son, plus quiet (except for the usual idiots that yell in the hallway enroute to the lifts!!!)
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.
Well-equipped. Located near the harbourfront, in the citycenter, next to the Willis Street, it was a great location. Elevator available via the garage to access the street or hotel to avoid the stairs. With the Airport Express Bus, you are from/to the Wellington Airport within 20 to 30 minutes.
Location was perfect since it was located close to all the restaurants near or on Cuba street. It's also close to the boardwalk and various museums. Was able to hike to Mount Victoria from here too. Very central to everything I wanted to see or do in the city.
Staff/Receptionist very friendly, entire complex was very clean, facilities easy access, The Dwellington had everything Sauna, tennis court, bbq area, kitchen wih all provisions, close to transport and in the city ...awesome place to stay!!!
Needed a place close to the south of Wellington to stay overnight. Room was spacious, clean and there was parking available on site. Would stay here again. (Just be mindful that this is in the middle of the city so you do get city noise)
This was our first time staying at the Sofitel Wellington and we will definitely be back. Though the Hotel isn't the closet to the city centre, everything else made up for this. The staff, room, food and facilities were all excellent.
The hotel has great character, the staff are super friendly. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. The location is perfect and walking distance to all the Wellington CBD areas. We would definitely stay here again.
I was in Wellington for a conference and this hotel was centrally located and close to both the conference venue and the CBD. The room had all the facilities I could have wanted. The breakfast was great.
A great city based hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay at this motel the next occasion I am visiting Wellington. Extra bonus of the underground carpark. Highly recommended!
I guess the location makes up for the small room and small bathroom. Walking distance to everything (but can say the same thing about pretty much all hotels in Wellington city)
sahid teddy kamara, like to travel with kadiatu Bangura, and are daughter mariama Mary kamara in new Zealand capital of Wellington James cook hotel grand chancellor.
