I enjoyed how close everything was to the hotel and how easy it was to walk to the places I wanted to see. The waterfront was nearby too. I did go by uber to Zealandia which was amazing and is a great place to visit.

Bus rides and train rides are awesome, just get yourself a Snapper card and more than one person can travel with that one card. Only one person can travel on that card on trains. Travelling in bus was also good, no hassle to driving or parking, bus service are almost everywhere till late nights and safe environments.

We thought Wellington was a beautiful City.
We thought Wellington was a beautiful City. We were there in late March. The weather was lovely and cool, just the right temperature if you like to explore a new location on foot. The bus system in the City is brilliant. The Metlink public transport card system can be a little intimidating but once you master it, it works exceptionally well. Otherwise, you can pay cash when travelling on the buses or trains, but it is quite significantly more expensive to pay this way. Also, it pays to check out the fare before you travel and have the correct money when getting on because nearly everyone uses the prepaid Metlink card so the driver has limited change. The seafood in New Zealand is the best in the world in my opinion. If you are staying centrally and have cooking facilities, I would recommend the Seafood Market in Lambton Quay or Cuba Street. It is not a huge shop but the fish comes in daily. Their fish and chips are pretty good as well. But there are plenty of seafood restaurants around that serve great food. Wellington is a a gorgeous city and reminded me very much of San Francisco.

Visited Te Papa Museum, Wellington Museum, Botanic Gardens...
Visited Te Papa Museum, Wellington Museum, Botanic Gardens and Portrait Gallery, all free access and excellent. Also took Cable Car (as you do) but the walk to and from Botanic Gardens is relatively easy as well. Went to Te Papa Museum and spent the entire day there - excellent. Ate at the Crab Shack and had the best meal in our entire NZ 2 week holiday - unfortunately, it was closed for 2 out of the 3 days we were in Wellington or we would have been back.
We arrived after hours but the reception team had all of our things ready and waiting. The room was an exceptional value -- spacious, well located, clean and comfortable. I was even able to use the gym for a quick workout in the morning. The reception team were absolute gems again when we checked out, they held our bags while we explored around the city. Will absolutely stay here again the next time we're in Wellington!
This was a great hotel for a short business trip to the city. I was able to walk everywhere. It was clean, and I especially liked the kitchenette in the room; that was a pleasant surprised. I also liked how all toiletries, including laundry detergent, was provided by the hotel. Check in and check out was a breeze. I also appreciated the turn-down service with nightly teas. Oh, and it was quiet; no noise.
My daughter and I really enjoyed the location of the Travelodge, very central but slightly off street so it seemed private. It was very very close to the shopping, central sights of Wellington and all restaurants, cafes in this area. Each day we walked to Te Papa etc. All facilities and hotel amenities were provided and we were happy with the service received.
I’m an ex Wellington resident so I know the town and this place is an excellent central location, a short stroll/walk to everywhere. It was a standard quest apartment which is to say it’s a well appointed and serviced modernish apartment. It’s in the back of the old bank building which is a central landmark in Wellington. Pretty much the heart of the city.
Ideal location for Wellington area, especially the airport. Comfortable proper hotel with restaurant, bar and pool. Ample free parking outside the door, very comfortable bed, rooms made up daily, good restaurant and buffet breakfast. If it was good enough for the Rolling Stones, it's good enough for me!!
This is a good hotel for us to stay overnight to attend events in Wellington city. It's clean and the beds are comfortable. It's not 5star, and could use some refurbishment, but for the cost, which includes breakfast, it's good value. We've stayed before and will stay again
The hotel has a pleasant reading and relaxing area and this area is adjacent to the bar which closes at 9pm. There is free street parking after hours and the hotel is within walking distance to the core of the city and restaurants etc. It is an old-charm venue.
Super friendly staff. Clean tidy rooms with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nice enough views. Super secure parking which is something alot of places dint offer in Wellington city. Central to the CBD which has all your shopping needs covered.
Second visit, so I knew exactly what I was booking
Rooms are well designed, comfortable, quiet, everything you need in them
Access to city is easy
Staff are friendly, its a modern design with all i need, it's my new go-to Wellington CBD hotel
Great location, easy walking distance to central city and multiple attractions.
Good sized room with comfortable layout, furniture and appliances.
Convenient kitchenette with good kitchenware, dishes and cutlery.
Decent TV for the room.
This was our first time staying at the Sofitel Wellington and we will definitely be back. Though the Hotel isn't the closet to the city centre, everything else made up for this. The staff, room, food and facilities were all excellent.
Just perfect! Could not have asked for a more comfortable "home" and great position outside of the city for the few days we had to explore the Wellington area and beyond. A great introduction to New Zealand! 🙂
A fine hotel w/ kitchen, somewhat up the hill from the centre of Wellington, and down the hill from the botanic gardens. A good base for visiting Auckland on foot. Room was well appointed. We had a good stay.
Very Central to Wellington CBD. Access to the building was good and there was a least 2-3 Bar/Restaurants just next door.
Very good value for money with the hotel across the road at least 50% more expensive.
Spacious and clean room with all the amenities. Bed was super comfortable. Hotel is located in central city so it’s only couple steps to all Wellington attractions. Highly recommend this place.
sahid teddy kamara, like to travel with kadiatu Bangura, and are daughter mariama Mary kamara in new Zealand capital of Wellington James cook hotel grand chancellor.
We loved the location - central city and close to the waterfront walkway, dining, and Te Papa. I would choose this hotel for another visit to Wellington.
