The bathroom was clean as was the rest of the place. No nice view out the window but that didn't bother me. The bed wasn't the most comfortbale but I've certainly had worse. Check in available from 2pm and check out before 10am. The front desk staff are pleasant and the accommodation was in an excellent location with great cafes close by. They also offer free gym at Les Mills for guests which I didn't know about before I booked. The kitchen had a two burner cooker with a pan, plate, cup etc for one (I booked a single room). Tea, coffee and hot chocolate with little milk pods was great to have also.

Decor a bit dated but clean and bathroom very good with normal and rain shower heads. Our room rate gave us breakfast and access to the executive lounge. In the lounge there was all day tea/coffee, incredible afternoon tea with 3 tier cake stand of goodies and drinks from 5pm also with 3 tier snacks/canapés. I think we got half the room rate back from those things alone. Very friendly staff. Recommend

They even have teasmaids and TVs! If I had one quibble it's that the lights in the bathroom are on a timer and go out after a few minutes - usually just as you're trying to get the soap out of your eyes. The bar on the ground floor is great and they do backpacker specials like a BBQ once a week which are great value. Failing that, there's a cracking Chinese a few doors up ;)

It was also helpful that the hotel had a washer/dryer in each room so we were able to clean our dirty laundry. The hotel staff was so friendly and welcoming. We opted for valet parking to keep things easy. You can get your car anytime you want and revalet it for no extra cost. Our room was on the 13th floor, with a cemetery in the back of the hotel, I was wondering if that was a sign, but all went well. Our room was spacious with a living room, kitchen, and bedroom. Beds and pillows were comfy. Shower was nice and hot. The only thing is the building creaked - like a lot. It was hard to sleep at times. It's apparently because of the wind and shifting of the building.

I selected their signature 1837 Black Tea while my partner tried the Royal Darjeeling and later their South African red tea, Eternal Summer. All of our choices were whole leaf teas with distinctive and complex aromas and taste. We each had a glass of Allan Scott's Cecelia Brut, with fine bubbles, from New Zealand's Marlborough region. On the three tiered tray were savory items including a cheese and bacon scone with an avocado spread, a ham and cheese sandwich and a sausage in a puff pastry. All of the sweets other than the tiramisu were chocolate items. A fruit tart or a scone would have been appreciated. We enjoyed lovely service by a friendly local who was quite engaging and educational about the extensive tea selections available.

The Willis Wellington Hotel seemed like a good option for being centrally located, including free breakfast, and being a good value. Check-in was easy with friendly desk staff. They have a large staircase to get to the lobby, so be prepared to carry your luggage. The common areas include a large quiet lounge with TV, restrooms, and the restaurant, which is where breakfast is held in the morning. They have one small elevator, which can be an inconvenience. We also made use of the free luggage storage on our last day, which was appreciated. We had some issues with the friendliness of the day staff; things "aren't possible" but the morning staff was happy to answer the same requests. The rooms are a bit dated. We couldn't make the heater work properly, so the room stayed damp and kind of cold. It was spacious however, with a nice sized bathroom too. The hotel as of our stay felt like it was in transition and not finished. One issue we had was early-morning road construction outside our window. This hotel is within walking distance of Cuba Street, Te Aro area, and the harbor with museums, tourist sites, and gobs of restaurants. Despite the drawbacks, we would stay here again.

Its only a 5 minute walk to the water front where there are a ton of shops, restaurants and running trails. Walking into the hotel is like, well... the name... a museum. Incredible artwork grace the exterior walls of the building as well as every inch of the lobby. My room was comfy and decorated with more art pieces and floor to ceiling mirrors on most of the walls. Only complaint is the shower head had very little water pressure making showering a little difficult. I highly recommend the hotel for the experience and location.

The room itself was very nice with a lot of space and everything was new and clean. Bathroom was spacious and had a great shower. The beds were very comfortable and it was quiet and easy to enjoy a good nights sleep. We went upstairs to the lounge to grab a drink and I imagine that during the day it's a beautiful view as you are surrounded with windows. At night there is not much that you could see, but the lounge was nice and the drink was mixed well. It is a pretty pricey stay, but you don't get many amenities. Wifi was additional and had to be renewed which was annoying and expensive. The other thing, is the front desk staff wasn't super friendly to us any of the days we were there. Overall it's a visually impressive hotel and though pricey, a pretty comfortable stay.

The staff was very pleasant at check in and gave some good tips about things to do in the area. The room was very nice and modern. I was impressed with by the granite countertop in the kitchen area and the full size refrigerator. The hotel also had a parking garage, though I did find it difficult to maneuver in. Overall we had a good stay here and I would stay here again.

It's complete with a living room area, mounted tv, a table set for four. There's a fully stocked kitchen, huge fridge and all the essentials including a kettle, toaster, oven, dishwasher, microwave, knife set, with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate for your consumption. The living room, lounge area is wide open with a 5 seat sofa. The bedroom is comfortable with four fluffy pillows. The bathroom is huge, glass counter top with a sunk in sink; both a tub and shower combo. Just has odd set up with no sliding bathroom door, just a swinging window door. It's an awkward shower placement, that weird swinging door isn't wide enough to keep water from getting out of the bath, so be weary of where you place that bathmat. In the bathroom is also a handy two in one washer dryer. All in all, it was a great stay. The parking situation can be prepaid with the hotel, and it is joined to a parking garage, you'd just have to go through the parking garage elevator to get to the right level then take your hotel elevator up to your room. And our window opened up to a gorgeous view...of the parking garage. That's what I loved waking up to. I only kid, everything else about this place was going for it. Walking distance to Cuba Street, it's very centralized and easy to get to and find.
