We often stay here when we are travelling. The hotel is comfortable and clean. We don’t have breakfast as we are usually on an early morning flight but have dinner which has been good. The staff are always helpful.

Ramada by Wyndham Wellington Taranaki Street
Good hotel, if dated a little. The suite was spacious and well laid out, although the elevated shower could be hazardous to some. The inclusion of a washer and dryer is a huge bonus. Location is not central but walkable to the main touristy things - plenty of food and dining options nearby.
