Central, nice staff, secure, clean, very good value for money even in the smallest studio. Furnished with or easy access to everything you need for living here 1 night or 1 month. (Have to pay for WiFi, or use free acess in the restaurant next door.) Same place next stay!

Thank you for your feedback. We were disappointed by this very unfortunate incident as we have had a preventative maintenance programme in place for some time. When we addressed your issue our pest control expert did advise us that due to the hot temperatures and long summer days in Wellington these factors had caused a problem for many service providers...

Great value and great saving on a 2 bedroom apartment, the only problem is the southern cross bar are just downstair. its abot noisy at the night. But the food there is delicious and also a beutiful enviroment to hang out. If you are coming with more than 3 ppl, this is a great place to stay in.

Pleasant enough reception service and allowed into room before 2pm which was much appreciated. Nice and handy to my function venue and Cuba Street with plenty of places to eat/drink. Very clean and tidy small room, but worth what I paid for it. Shower was great, good pressure and plenty of hot water. Would want a bigger room if I... More

Stayed here for 2 weeks when we first arrived in Wellington. Their long stay rates are very reasonable compared to similar serviced apartments in the area. I read reviews about the noise so I requested a room on the quiet side of the building. I was very pleased with the room.. clean & simple, no frills. Kitchenette had complete utensils... More

The location of the hotel is perfect just next to the pedestrian zone of wellington( most of intersting places in wellington are within walkable distance). Sometimes, especially the... More

My partner and I stayed here for 7 nights when we were in Wellington in February of this year. This trip was a mix of business and pleasure. I attended the Webstock conference held at the Town hall which was just a 10 - 15 minute walk (leisure walk) from the apartments. Because of this conference, we decided to spend... More

This would be a very good value stay were it not for the fact that the owner has a disco which pumps out megadecibel noise until midnight. Without aircon you can close the windows and fry or open them and forget sleep.

Maybe we were unlucky with our choice of day as the staff Xmas party was on which meant that we only could get one key. This meant that we couldn't get in to the building separately which was quite annoying, The apartment was also very cold and noisy from the bar downstairs so sleeping was difficult. It was also very... More
