Definitely a cost effective option - but in hind sight, you get what you pay for. in my opinion better suited for single or younger people and those not spending any time in their room - Bathroom sharing did not work for us. Overall, the facilities were minimal, dated and in need of some TLC but the service and simplicity in coming and going worked well for us since we were out all day... Overall satisfied but would not use again.

conscious folks willing to skip a few amenities. It was clean and the staff were quick to answer questions. But the front door did not lock. Two of the plugs in the room and the fan in the bathroom did not work. The breakfast was ok but the room was small with really nowhere to sit.

The room I stayed in wasn't worth $202 toilet bathroom was very stinky tv wasn't working no windows no ac even the heater wasn't working aswel we had to sleep in cold. There was no extra blanket. It was our first trip to Wellington but we've experienced this was terrible I would never go this hotel ever again. Staffs are very tricky they say something on phone when u go there they provide u the little as room. It was pathetic.

Something different. On a side street of Wellington so lots of option for parking, and dinning within walking distance. Property in need of basic maintenance. However, Spa is functional and a nice touch for the middle of Wellington.

It's a basic room. The drawback was that the bed was tired and I never could get the wifi to work. On the plus side, it was nice to have a desk to work on and it was only a few minutes walking distance from Cuba street.

Great value for location

Great value for the location. Room small but has everything you need for a good nights sleep which is all I wanted. Just be aware the other rooms are very close and so if you’re a light sleeper noise could be a problem with other doors opening and closing and people etc. Shared bathroom was very clean as was the room itself. Would definitely stay again if you were just wanting somewhere to sleep and shower.

Adequate. But nothing special. A bit overpriced for what you get if you ask me. The doors of the other rooms were SO LOUD I thought someone was breaking in our room 6 times a night. The room was very clean, but very basic. Felt like a nice-ish hostel but kind of a sad hotel. For a property calling itself a European style boutique hotel I was expecting proper coffee in the rooms, not instant. Nothing horrible nothing great. Would stay again if everything else was booked out.

We had booked what we thought was a room with a bathroom, purposely upgrading from the 'shared bathroom' cheap option, but when we arrived we realised the bathroom was across the public hallway. Had we not already paid, we would have left at that time. We felt the WOTIF listing was not clear on the bathroom arrangement, and misleading. Disappointingly, there was no milk provided, and the shower could have been cleaner.
