Have recently returned from a 5 day trip to Wellington and wanted to write a review on this Boutique hotel that I can thoroughly recommend. Its called 'Ohtel' is only 10 amazing rooms on Oriental Parade opposite the bay walking distance to the CBD Courtney Place. Was totally impressed with the room layout - cool, modern funky interiors, newly designed... more

The Ohtel is truly a designer's "labor of love," with meticulous attention to detail and a refreshing style. However, unlike many boutique hotels which pay slavish attention to design in an effort to achieve the requisite level of hipness, Ohtel renders the same attention to detail to its primary mission: housing weary travelers. The extremely friendly staff provides warm and... more

The bedroom itself was certainly good - the latest in good design and layout, fabulously quiet, stylishly and tastefully decorated, a superbly comfortable bed, and with the best technology available. However, simple things were a challenge. For instance, making a cuppa. The jug didn't fit under the tap so we had to poor cups of water into the jug, one... more

this is clearly the best hotel in wellington, which is not really saying much as the selection is dire. we were really happy with our suite, and that they accomodated our 2 kids with rollout beds, and were negotiable on the price. the hotel is nicely appointed, the bathroom is really lovely, the room was spacious and the decor was... more

We only stayed one night more is the pity. The hotel was top price but deserved to be as service , room, facilities and location were first class. Very modern decor but with every detail carefully thought through , we found it very relaxing. We thought that the blend of 1960's furniture and modern decor were a great success.We would... more

I love the design of this hotel, which is why I wanted to stay there and it didn't disappoint. The location is great for walking access to the city. The TV/ipod function was great also to have music in your room. The staff on reception were very friendly. So what was wrong....? If you are one of the most expensive... more

Excellent location, interesting decor and attentive staff. This hotel was all it promised from the website. Its within easy walking distance of the city centre and the only possible issue would be the lack of a formal restaurant for evening dining - but don't let that put you off - the staff can recommend any number of good local eateries... more

Okay hotel

We stayed here for 2 nights. Its a great location, and the Rooms are well appointed. The Staff were very helpful. Only minises was No Paper outside our door (Had to ask for it) and staff forgot to cook and deliver our Breakfasts. We ended up having to go down the Road as we were running late for our meetings... more

Nice Hotel!

We arrived at Ohtel and were welcomed by the nicest staff ever. Everyone went out of their way to help us (especially Michael) with recommendations of things to do and restaurant reservations and just helping us unpack. The rooms are very modern. Beds were quite comfy and had a nice flat screen on the wall. The cool thing is you... more
