8.8/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)
Great service and everything, but very scary ambiance. Everything is painted black, making it dark and uneasy. The hallways are dark, as is the shower and room. The bathrooms are all mirrors, which makes going to the toilet very scary, as you can see all of yourself in the mirror.

The staff were great, buffet breakfast was great and the location was central making it easy to walk to places. It’s very loud at night and you can hear all the street noise, this didn’t bother me but it may be a problem for others. The room itself wasn’t great. There was mould on the walls in the bathroom, the paint was peeling away from the walls, there was food on the floor when we checked in and it was very dusty on most surfaces. In my view, the mould is a serious concern and should be dealt with.

Right in the middle of Wellington, which meant we didn’t need a car and could walk or catch a bus to everything we needed. Found the staff very friendly and helpful
