Top New Zealand Defence College Hotel Reviews

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

8/10 Good

"I recently travelled to Wellington for two nights to attend WoW. The James Cook was very conveniently located for this event and was only a quick walk to the event venue. One of the lifts down to Lambton Quay was undergoing maintenance for the three days we were there and this did create some significant queues and wait times around busy periods. The room was a good size and generally clean, although a deep clean of the room is needed as there were definitely areas of the room that were noticeably neglected - especially under the bench in the bathroom and the corners of the rooms, under furniture etc. I was also disappointed that although this is a hotel, there was no mini-bar. There was a mini-fridge but it was empty and after a long day and a long flight, this would have been welcomed. The noise levels from other guests in the corridors was also very noticeable, so there are some noise-proofing improvements that could be made. Otherwise a generally pleasant stay."

Rydges Wellington Airport

8/10 Good

"Could not figure out how to operate the shower properly. To bottom cold or not at all."

The Post Hotel

"Good location."

Harbour View Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The team at the Lodge were 100per cent Awesome. Very helpful informative and friendly ☺️. We just had to ask if we needed extra blankets or towels or anything. The ocean view was excellent . Our rooms were cosy and very clean. Fresh towels and linen everyday. 5 minutes away from the main centre in Porirua so handy for eating out and shopping. No microwave or cooking facilities but we had planned on eating out . The only small fault for us was because we are morning coffee drinkers we would have packed our mugs. The cups were too small 😁"
