Naumi Studio Wellington

Naumi Studio Wellington

10/10 Excellent
"You couldn’t ask for a better location, right in the heart of Wellington on Cuba Street, with tons of restaurants, bars, clubs, museums and public transit all within easy walking distance. The hotel has a wonderfully eclectic personality, with retro, bohemian and artsy décor throughout the lobby, restaurant and guest rooms. It’s definitely not your typical cookie-cutter hotel! My room was perfect for a solo traveller, although it would be a little tight for two people with luggage. The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower was great, and surprisingly, the room was super quiet considering the lively location right outside. A special mention to the lounge cocktails, which were both unique and delicious – definitely worth checking out! Overall, a great little hotel with plenty of character, a fantastic location and excellent value. I’d happily stay here again!"
