"This hotel is a gem in the heart of Wellington city. The staff are outstanding, friendly, welcoming & very accommodating for our needs. The rooms are clean & spacious, offer excellent kitchen facilities, & comfortable beds. We have stayed here several times & it will always be our go-to hotel for a few days in Wellington. Very reasonable priced. Highly recommend."

Adina CityLife Wellington

8/10 Good

"Excellent location. Beds and pillows great. Bathrooms good. Spacious for 3 bed apt. Staff nice. Downsides very pricey for not having the room serviced over the day ( we were there 2 nights), having the pressure washer on the bedroom window's at 8.30 in the morning was loud and unexpected, the apartment was up a flight of stairs ( no lift access) which would have been good to know in the listing. It really is the location that makes it a good place to stay."

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, quiet, King room is good size, comfy bed, bathroom very small though, no vanity top for putting makeup/toiletries."

Rydges Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, good size room, awesome brekkie with lots of different options. Only negative was that it was extremely windy when we stayed and it sounded like someone was trying to get into our room all night."
