The room was ok for the price. The bed was comfortable and the TV did work. Under my visit they were not good to clean or empty rubbish, just left a new towel in room. Did never see anybody in reception.

Bad service. Had to pay for parking even though it's not a hotel. Wasn't told that only credit cards are accepted, and that Debit Visas would be declined which is the most bizarre thing I've experienced as I pre-paid for the room with it. We paid cash and they didn't even have change.

In August 2024, we spent five very comfortable days here, opposite the many reviews we had been warned about.
The five of us arrived at 2 p.m. from Japan, received a friendly explanation from the front desk staff, and headed to each room. The rooms were classic but compact in the British style. They have excellent wifi and a soft bed. There was a shower room with a shower outlet fixed to the wall top instead of a bathtub and a very small sink.
If you use the shared cooking room, the foods are available to cook purchased at a nearby supermarket.
We could also use the free laundry and a powerful dryer to wash clothes that day. The room was cleaned twice during our stay, which made us feel good. However, one room did not have a chain key on the inside of the door, so if you are concerned about this, you should ask the front desk.
It is in a perfect location, close to the city center, Courtenay Place, Manners St, the bay, and the National Museum. It is in an excellent location, compared to the low room rate. Check-out on the last day of our stay was at 10:00, but we could leave our luggage at the front desk until 4:00 p.m. when staff was on duty, and then we could head home comfortably. We will want to use it if we come back to Wellington again.

Conviently located for St Janes theatre but security totally lacking. Although a dead lock on front door off the street, no key or swipe card provided. Same with smoke door on ground floor so anyone can walk in off the street and have access to rooms. It looked like the door to my room had an attempt at crowbar entry! No checkin staff available. There was a compressor/pump that "kicked in" regularly throughout the night. Very noisy. Drafty room with just a sheet and light duvet on the bed. I slept in my clothes to keep warm.

Front desk was closed even though was there an hour before check in closed. Had to call and was given the key via a lock box. Was also told there was an extra $15 per night charge for parking, I said I wasn't paying this as it wasn't mentioned on the website or at any time during booking.
Given the price I wasn't expecting much but got even less than that. Just a clean basic room was all I needed. Room was basic but that's it. Run down, dirty, smelly and noisy was what I got. Checked the bed on arrival to find the sheets weren't even clean, there was actual hair in the bed!
Called to complain and was given another room, this room was slightly better, at least the sheets appeared clean.
Shower was unusable, and probably would have felt like I needed a shower after using it anyway if I could use it. Brown water came out and the hose leaked everywhere. Brown water also came out of the sink tap.
Loud music coming from another room until after 1am then some sort of a scuffle broke out in the hallway around 2am meant no sleep all night after 11 hours on the road was not ideal.
The entire place smelt strongly of curry.
The doors to the rooms looked to have been replaced recently and a part of the door jamb was missing on the hinge side leaving a gap that can be seen through.
Had been booked for 2 nights but checked out the first morning and moved to a much better place.
Yes this was cheap but expected more even for that money.

The place is super run down. The kitchen in my unit was still super dirty- food splashes up the walls and a thick grease layer on the stove top. Food splashes in the microwave. The fridge was full of water. Mouse droppings in the cupboards under the sink. I went and bought disposable cutlery so i didnt have to use anything. Parking is a pain in the butt and isnt worth $15 a day, especially when others arent being considerate of how they are parking as it is super tight. The positives were that the heater worked really well and its in a really good location.

Worst accommodation we’ve ever stayed at. Filthy, cigarette filters under the bed, mouldy and damp. Cold with no heating and not enough blankets. Unsafe for families, we had a knock on the door by someone asking for weed. Don’t book here, the reviews are correct. Expedia should disassociate themselves with this place.
