I like the option to go have dinner and a drink at the restaurant. The staff were friendly, very convenient and close to courtenay place to experience the wellington nightlife. Also close to shops, the te papa museum, other restaurants and the waterfront. I cant recommend this hotel enough. I definitely will come back someday in the future. 8/10 is the rating ill give

The guy working in the restaurant on Sunday morning was brilliant, the food was tasty and came out quickly but I was there at a time the rush was over. The room was good with the exception that both taps dripped all night but I could barely hear it over the noise from the celebration downstairs.

Check in was very slow as only one person helped guests the other sat there, he wasn't on the phone so no reason to not get up and help or at least acknowledge guests. My room on arrival wasn't very clean. I reported it to reception including specifics like hairs in the sink, dirty stained toilet and broken dripping shower control. The hairs were still there the next day, toilet was cleaner but still stained. Housekeeping didn't touch the bed but had folded the toilet paper and replaced the one of every product with just two conditioners and two body lotion to show they had been. Hairs still there after day three. On my last morning a staff member let themself into my room at 8.45am (well before checkout) no knocking or announcing. I saw the secure lock move then handle and had a bag in the way so they couldn't enter my room. The storage for bags isn't secure they leave the door open during the day and I have seen at least four people enter the room with no staff member standing there. The daytime receptionist let me leave my bags behind reception as she saw my concern but the front office manager had told the night receptionist this isn't to happen. It's an old rundown building with no sound proofing but I expect the basics - safety and clean - especially when I report it to staff.

It was not for me. There's a hostel side and a hotel side, and the hostel side was kind of gross. I did not like that they didn't have a single full sized sink. Everything felt dirty, I never saw more than one cleaning lady handling all the rooms and bathroom and kitchen. The sheets and bedding were clean, the pillow was questionable. They do give you a towel, so that was nice. And the staff were really friendly and helpful. Overall though, I don't mind things not being perfectly clean, but I constantly felt like there was a small layer of grime over everything.

I dropped off my luggage and dashed out without really looking at the room- my last stay there - it’s a scrappy but charming pub hotel for those who don’t mind a slightly restored but still worn-down place - the desk closes at 10 pm and after dinner I arrived back to see really alarming brown material in the very worn carpet. Mud? Let’s hope so. The veery desk chap said in the morning: So sorry. That’s terrible. If you stay here, inspect the room before you accept it. They did say carpets would be replaced in April. No help for my stay however.

Dingy, beat up, worn out. Cramped. Ancient. The room was dull with totally worn out carpeting, yellow paint. This room was a catastrophe, looks NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING like the photos on its website or in the Expedia app. The shower and bathroom were the only things it had going for it. The window has no lock on it. Shameful of them to charge us full price.

A very old, dated property which could do with a refurbishment. Having said that, the bedding was lovely and clean (although the 'legs' on my bed were 2 planks of wood laid on the floor) as were the towels and bathroom. Very quirky place with good location and very reasonably priced. A little TLC would make it a gem.
