Great Hotel in a Great Location

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Nov 2024
Our second time staying at this quirky hotel - decor is fantastic! We had a Habitat King Room, same as last time, and had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the brightly coloured decor. The bathroom had a walk in shower and was a good size, although the vanity space could have been larger. Last year when we stayed there were snack baskets in the rooms but this has stopped now, however there was an enormous jar of Eskimo sweets at reception and we could help ourselves to that - tongs and paper bags provided!
Happy hour in the bar ended at 5.30pm - we almost missed out! - but the staff were very friendly and obliging when we arrived right on 5.30pm.
Breakfast had everything we could want, without being super fancy.
The hotel is located in the middle of Cuba Street with a great choice of cafes and restaurants right outside - just perfect.
Really enjoyed our stay and we will certainly be back again.

I had a blast here. Every day I walked along Cuba street to check out the awesome shopping and restaurants right outside the door of Naumi. The rooms are large and spacious, with luxurious albeit gaudy decor. I enjoyed the ostentatious style of the hotel for the most part, and much preferred it over staying somewhere that's boring and corporate. The hotel is clearly working with old bones, and you could definitely hear some of the plumbing through the walls while inside the room. But with a pari of earplugs, it didn't bother me at all during the night. I had drinks for happy hour down in the lobby almost every night, which were pricey but unique. I would easily choose to stay here again.

Room tip: Bring earplugs and a bathing suit.

A beautiful modern hotel right in the centre of town. Stones throw to the restaurants and shopping on Cuba Street.

We had a habitat king room and the hotel kindly gave us a corner room on the top floor. It was beautiful. Plenty of space with a little kitchenette and seating area. The bed was the most comfortable we’ve had on our trip to NZ so far. The bathroom was modern, clean and stocked but a wee bit too small. Felt a bit tight given how large the room was.

The bar downstairs was busy and seemed to be a place for people to meet and get together.

Receptionists were very efficient and courteous both at check in and check out. They could not accommodate our request for a car park space the first night but they did the second night.

The hotel kindly acknowledged my partners birthday with a bottle of wine. It was a lovely touch.

Definitely recommend this hotel for your stay in wellington. The

Absolutely superb hotel. The bed was probably the most comfortable I have ever experienced in a hotel anywhere in the world. Very spacious comfortable room, with a great alt. vibe complete with wonderful furnishings and decor. Great location off Cuba Street and so convenient for the city.

A pleasant surprise to be given an upgrade on check-in. Great staff, lovely spacious room with interesting decor, very comfortable bed, nice towels. A real treat to have Antipodes products in the bathroom. Surprisingly quiet for a central city location. Not necessarily a complaint, but there was no cutlery or crockery aside from wine glasses and teacups in the kitchen area. Pleasant bar, nice choice of beverages. Breakfast okay but continental and cooked a bit widely separated. Would stay again and would recommend.

Very good location if you want to be in the heart of the night live streets. Staff is not attentive and check in is supposed to be made digitally by your self. The room was 32 degree celsius when I entered because the house keeping obviously switched off the air conditioning.
