Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Such a lovely experience staying at QT Wellington, the staff at Reception were very welcoming and VERY accommodating. We had an amazing Christmas themed High Tea in the Hippopotamus Restaurant, with lovely attentive smiling staff. I found ALL the staff at every level very pleasant which makes for a comfortable stay to see people happy at their work. We;ll be back.

Fantastic hotel, loved that it was full of art. Amazing room. Great location. Fantastic service, the staff were lovely. Only irritation was that we booked a taxi to the airport with reception staff in plenty of time, only to find on the day that it hasn’t been booked. Also I broke my ring because the fridge door was strangely close to the bottom of the cabinet below it.

Dear Anitanee, Thanks so much for the kind words. I am sorry to hear that you did not get your taxi reservation sorted and that you broke your ring, that definitely doesn’t sound like it’s living up to the QT code of conduct. Nevertheless, we appreciate the time you took the leave a review and we hope to welcome you back soon. Regards Emie

Great location and view over harbour. Right in the centre of Wellington and within walking distance of all the major tourist attractions. Nice pool. Valet parking was really convenient and efficient.

Lovely spot in centre of town and pool and jacuzzi away nice. Bar staff and smashing cup of coffee in gallery bar. Sadly let down by a few things, making it feel less luxurious and more overpriced, unfortunately; - overcharged in error by $30 on checkin (refunded after I pointed it out) - pool and jacuzzi accessibility issues - damaged tiles and jet nobs broken or missing on jacuzzi - dangerously slippery floor in gym shower rooms - no USM ports for charging in apartment rooms - only two coffee pods for 2 adults overnight unless we wanted decaf. Could only have 1 cup and none then available for breakfast. - disappointing to find the gorgeous painting by Tame Iti has gone from collection and reception only advised ‘it’s been removed’ - apartment rooms looking tired with laminate warping off cupboard doors

Dear ajc525, In our eyes, anything less than perfectly plush is unacceptable. So, we apologies things weren’t as comfy as they could have been in regard to the state of your room and amenities provided. We do also love the painting by Tame Iti but our Art Gallery Master likes to refresh the arts displayed to keep the visual interesting for our repeated visitors. We do appreciate your most honest feedback and we that you will give us a chance to make amend next time you are around! Regards Emie

Shower has fairly low water pressure. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Was only in for a night so did not get to use any of the other facilities. View out the window to the gym and lane pool was a little disconcerting when I first pulled back the curtains...

Dear tel_nz As QT credo goes, average just isn’t acceptable. We’re sorry we didn’t bring the dazzle this time - but next time we’ll add all sorts of razzle, promise. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we hope to welcome you back next time for a longer stay ! Regards Emie

Average average average. A tired room with a TV 12 metres from the bed in sparsely furnished long unusual room. Cleaning around shower needed work. Wasn’t helped that they forgot to make up our room and when we asked were told everyone gone home for day and offered a $10 dining voucher. Dropped off clean towels onto bed when we were out but didn’t remove wet towels. Drapes were different lengths. For the price we paid we expected more and we won’t be staying again. The saving grace was the breakfasts at Hippopotamus and service there was really very good. And a great dinner at Hot Sauce. Bed comfortable. We’ve stayed at the QT in Queenstown and this sadly didn’t compare.

The art in the hotel is wonderful. We really enjoyed all of it, inside and out. The room was very comfortable. We found the instructions for the appliances (washer/dryer, dishwasher) to be insufficient and in the case of the washer/dryer, the instructions were incorrect. We stayed 3 nights. On both days when we came back from our outings, housekeeping was in our room, doing their work. This was at about 3 pm. That was an inconvenience. The location of the hotel is perfect. We liked being so close to the museum and the harbor.
