King bed was small, needed updating. Car parking across the road cost $105 but we parked in wrong spot & we’re fined $190 by carpark owner, very expensive for us & the hotel should reimburse us $105 as we didn’t use their specific spots

Really convenient and great that they took pets. Special touches like having a dog bed, bowl and dog treats! Room was clean and spacious and comfortable. Check-in and out was super easy and I got a call before check in to make sure I had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

The room was great, heaps of space, modern,all the facilities you would need. Very close to walk to anywhere in central Wellington. I was initially unsure about entry procedures but it was easy. Parked across the road in Hotel park, it was only a 2 minute walk to hotel. Overall a place I would recommend. Thanks.

Central and close to all the shopping, food places and transport e.g. buses, that we needed. Also very close to Te Papa and waterfront which were places we wanted to visit. Small room but had what we needed for short stay. The outdoor balcony was important to us to have small outdoor space and fresh air. Staff were helpful and friendly.

I stayed on Sunday night. 28th August. I usually stay here a lot and never had any problems but had a terrible stay. 2 large parties where happening at once out of different rooms. They were loud all night and no one did anything or even ask them to turn the volume down. I didn’t sleep at all because of the noise and it was a terrible stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disappointment is a nice way of putting my stay at U Residence, Wellington. Online it says the hotel is 4 stars that unfortunately is a joke. Let’s start dishwasher doesn’t work, smoke butts and ash tray on balcony, no pen or paper to write on. Couldn’t connect to the wifi. One rubbish bin that was the size of a peg basket and no refil rubbish liners for when full. No soap. No vacuum cleaner, had a washing machine but no instructions or powder and no line to put clothes on. The shower bottom was uneven and slippery, my 70 yr old dad whom I stayed with slipped over while getting in. Also says pet friendly, no where for your pet to get outside no courtyard had to walk over 1 km for my service dog to wee each time. No stairs to access only a dirty lift. The doors are difficult to unlock and heavy. I was told the hotel had limited parking so asked as a disabled person for parking and the hotel has actually no parking at all it’s inside a shared building. We checked out at 7:30am because of all these factors it was an awful nights stay. I really am wanting a refund because it ruined our entire trip to Wellington and was not worth the money spent. It felt more like a brothel than anything else. I found it hard to give it 1 star. Very misleading online. Also said has sound proof walls that’s not true we could here everyone come and go and both sides of our room shower and use the toilet. Toilet paper was 1 ply but so thin you couldn’t even get it off the roll properly. Refund pleas!
