Top National Library Hotel Reviews

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

8/10 Good

"Great views of harbour from the junior suite where we stayed. Lounge is right next door so great access for free snacks and non alcoholic drinks, but you do hear others going into it too. Worth it though. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Location is really good, within walking distance of everything in the city that you want to see. I would stay there again easily."

Quest 256 Lambton

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, modern interior, convenient location, also provided Nespresso machine and pods instead of just instant coffee. Comfy bed and pillows."

Oaks Wellington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All went well , the homeless outside could have been problematic but did not hinder stay, the security was present but once in room no issues"

Hotel Waterloo & Backpackers

10/10 Excellent

"Unbeatable value for money. Stayed here a few times already, check in is always super quick, friendly staff, and the last few times we've only had to share the bathroom with one other room. Sure, it's a bit dated, but it's clean, so who cares? It's a little far from town, but still walking distance, plus it's right next to the train station and if you're going to the cake tin, it's great. Subway, Maccas and a pub in the same building, plus plenty of restaurants in walking distance. Even has an elevator. Really can't fault anything with this place."

Adina CityLife Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Always value for money and great location. Perfect for us, 4th time staying"

Bolton Hotel

Sofitel Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean request was very good Overall very satisfying"
