We were in town for an anniversary to relax and have a look around Wellington and the Museum Hotel was recommended to us. It is fantastically located with the restaurant/pub scene of Courtney Place just a short walk (2 blocks) away, and of course the Te Papa museum across the road. Staff were friendly and efficient, the room was large... more

Stayed for two nights as a birthday present from my partner. Had always wanted to stay at the Museum Hotel and was extremely disappointed with the quality and service. The room we were booked into was nothing like what was promised on the website. The room had a tiny pathetic view of the harbor, the bed was queen not king,... more

Although my wife and I live just north of Wellington, we decided to treat ourselves to a night away from our baby and sample the great looking meal options that were on offer at the Hippopotamus restaurant as part of "Wellington on a Plate". We arrived on a Friday evening to a very happening check in desk that is part... more

We visited the Museum for a special treat before our next baby arrival. We arrived and went up to our lovely spacious room. The views were beautiful and the room was the size of a small apartment. We went to the Hippo for Dinner it was absolutely lovely, the staff were very helpful and the food was delicious! We were... more

We stayed one night at the Museum Hotel during an overnight transit stop in Wellington. We took a shuttle bus from the airport which only cost $20 for the two of us (about 15 min drive). The location is great, across the street from Te Papa museum and the waterfront area. The waterfront promenade around Oriental Bay and the walking... more

Thas as is hotel has some great art-work, good restaurants and bars. The bed and bath-room was reasonable, if not a little small. Tea and coffee making facilities in room.a more

I've stayed at the Museum several times on business over the past three months. I love the bohemian quirky and arty feel of the hotel and the location is great. However, my experience with the rooms and staff has been inconsistent. Its a matter of luck which room (and staff you get). The residential apartment rooms are very comfortable -... more

I only stayed at the Museum Hotel for one night while in Wellington on a mixture of business and leisure, but I thought it was one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at in the Capital. The room was huge, with modern decor and was spotlessly clean. The minibar was stocked with every conceivable thing you might get caught without... more

The museum hotel is a quirky kind of place that (obviously) takes its themes from the museum located across the road. Its fairly handy to everything but we found it was a bit of a walk to find a nice restaurant. The room we had was comfortable enough but the experience was spoilt by a pervading mouldy smell that reminded... more
