James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor
Room is clean and I love the breakfast buffet

Rydges Wellington
Still in the process of new owners taking over, so for example can’t accept Amex yet. Most things remain the same - lots of opportunities for new owners to improve, from a fairly average spa with only a few jets working for 3 minutes at a time, to noisy rooms with average aircon. Breakfast very overpriced ...

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
After hours, check-in was a breeze. There's a combination washer and dryer and small kitchen. The hotel is tucked away. However there are steps down to Lambton Quay. Also you can follow Boulecott Street down to Cuba Street and Waterfront.
