Top Thorndon Hotel Reviews

TRYP by Wyndham Wellington, Tory Street

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, team always willing to help!"

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."

Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Easy to get in and out. Super close to New World and city centre for food. Restaurant on site was over priced and the tap beer wasn't great. TV channels had major interference with weather so couldn't watch TV. Bit disappointing. Shower must be set on a temp as I had it as hot as it would go and it wasn't hot enough. All in all, great stay."

Museum Apartment Hotel, Independent Collection by EVT

10/10 Excellent

"My stay couldn’t have gone better. The staff were all very courteous, and attentive. My flight landed a bit early for check-in and while I dropped my bags off the staff at the front desk was able to get my room turned over remarkably quickly for me which was very appreciated after a long flight. I had one small issue with the laundry in my room and they had their maintenance team take care of it while I was out for the day. I would highly recommend staying here! Also the location was absolutely perfect, easy to walk to just about anywhere downtown."
