Hotels near Wellington Central Library | Te Matapihi Ki Te Ao Nui, Wellington

The location was convenient and the price was acceptable, for an apartment hotel they have thought about somethings to make life convenient such as providing washing powder for the washing machine. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. The lighting was not great, in the bedroom there were only two small bed side lights so it not great for reading in bed. The shower head was falling into the wall and when I asked to get it fixed so i could stand under it they moved it to the other side where it fell slightly less towards the wall. There was shampoo/conditioner and body was provided however no hand soap for washing hands The one window that opened was open when i arrived and one of the window closures was too high to reach easily and i couldn't fully close the window initially until i got a chair to stand on it to do so The other little thing that would make things easier for anyone staying is to move the fridge door to open from the other side so you can open the door and against the wall I struggled with the lighting over all but at least they had a separate light in the lounge that i could turn on so i could actually read my book as there was very little ceiling lights The woman on reception desk was very good and a credit to the hotel. she remained calm when things turned chaotic at the announcement of a lock down and lots of guests having to check out early to get home

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!

Great location and very friendly and helpful staff. Check in was a breeze, and we were allocated a room as requested, in a quiet zone of the hotel. Although on a steep hill, the elevator down the street level was a bonus. After a long day, we used the room service and can highly recommend the Haloumi Burger for something different. But please have a Club Sandwich on the menu in the future. The bed was terrific and we had a great sleep. Breakfast (included in our room tariff) was great. A take away container of fresh fruit offered was a nice bonus. Will I/We stay here again? Yes. Sure will.

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.

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.

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.

We really liked the Movenpick: tucked into a lush green hillside, the hotel exudes an old world charm matched with modern-day comforts. The room was quite small but well-appointed and very quiet. The service was excellent: friendly & efficient at all turns. Full breakfast buffet was lovely with a stunning view over the city. Unfortunately, we would not choose to return because of one room issue: the majority of lights in the room, including bedside lights and bathroom lights, are controlled by one master switch, an overhead light that lights up the whole room. Turn this overhead off and you cannot turn on those bedside lights nor the bathroom lights. Hence - no reading in bed without the whole room lit up; if you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, you either trip around in the dark or wake up your sleeping partner with the light. When your partner accidentally turns the overhead off while you're in the shower? Welcome to Sensory Deprivation Shower time. It is such a shame, because but for this one issue we quite enjoyed our brief stay - but, if it had been a longer stay, I would have moved hotels. Lastly, a note: the hillside down to the main street of restaurants, shops and central downtown is VERY steep. We enjoyed the trek to & from, for the most part, but we both had to stop for breath on the way 'home.' If you do choose the Movenpick, make sure to pack sturdy walking shoes!

My partner and I stayed at Hotel Waterloo & Backpackers for a weekend in Wellington. We had a private room with ensuite bathroom. The room was tidy and clean, located at the end of the hallway (quiet - Bonus point!). The staff was friendly as well. The Hotel is in a perfect location: close to the Beehive and in walking distance to the CBD, Te Papa, Cable Car etc. Can recommend!

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.

Great customer service, the rooms were well designed and a good size. They had all the modern features you’d need and like for a trip. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Main reason for the review is the customer service, I’ve stayed at quest hotels whilst traveling a fair amount. Hands down one of the best by far. The staff went out of there way to make my stay as comfortable and easy as possible. Would recommend 5 stars.
