We had a lovely holiday in Wellington. Staying at City Life meant we didn't need a car as the bus stops are really close to the hotel and you are within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. We had an apartment looking down on to Lambton Quay but it wasn't at all noisy. The beds were very comfortable, the house keeping first class and as we were so close to a super market it was easy to pop down and buy breakfast items. All the staff we met at City Life were happy and obliging. I'm starting to sound like a paid PR person but I'm not. I booked and paid through the Heritage hotels web-site.
