Good hotel in business area of the city but walkable to all attractions. Very clean and quiet. We didn’t eat in the restaurant. There are facilities including a sink, microwave, and dishwasher. We just used the tea, coffee and milk provided. Good quality toiletries provided. We had conflicting advice from different staff about checking in for the ferry. We should have stuck to Gary’s advice to leave later as we were very early and almost last off!

Excellent relaxing stay

A very relaxed and comfortable stay. The Bolton offered us quiet and excellent accommodation The suite was very lovely. The kitchen was well set up and had everything required. I was amazed to see a washing machine and dryer although we did not use this. Room service was quick; efficient and a very good range of food offered. The leisure centre had a pool and spa that we thoroughly enjoyed. A perfect hotel for a relaxing holiday in Wellington.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Bolton Hotel in Wellington and had a great experience. Our suite was clean, spacious, and very well equipped, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The service throughout our visit was texcellent—staff were friendly and attentive and helpful. We also had the opportunity to dine at the hotel restaurant, which served very good food. Although the prices were on the expensive side. Location-wise, the hotel is ideally placed. It's a short stroll to the beautiful Botanic Gardens and Zealandia, with the waterfront just a 20-minute walk away, making it a great base for exploring the city. Overall, we would definitely stay again if visiting Wellington.

The Bolton was absolutely lovely! The room was very well appointed. The staff were courteous and attentive, even though my husband and I were travel-worn. We enjoyed a dinner in the restaurant. The staff were delightful, and the food was amazing! The steak was particularly delicious. We also had a lovely quick breakfast and coffee at the front door cafe. The location is great - Uber drivers and your companies were instantly familiar with the building. There is a lovely historic cemetery and church across the street. Be warned, many of the coffee, shops, and restaurants seem to be "weekday only", though I'm sure the Bolton staff can point you in the right direction, and you can't go wrong at the in house eateries.
