I actually think it was ok for the money- not many other choices at this price in central Wellington over a busy holiday period. The sheets were clean and the bed comfortable. I slept well. However, I do think the cleaning could be more vigilant- the shower curtain could be washed more regularly and I went to pick up something I dropped so noticed the accumulation of dust, etc under the bed.

Place was okay as we were in transit overnight. supermarket nearby was well stocked and could be walking to. Close to Te Papa. Seemed to be a mix of different buildings and some motels. Tea and coffee facilities in room , simple room but the shower was tops, water good flow and hot,

Parking was challenging, reception charged us an additional fee to park despite our high room cost and the vacancy at the motel. The room was not clean, mold above the shower and in the tile grout. Hair and a contact lens still in the shower basin. Toilet seat not secured and roll holder was barely attached to the wall, vanity shelf was not level Room smelled musty, ceiling pants was peeling and not all windows opened for ventilation. We had room 42. Very disappointed, but the location was convenient to downtown.

When entering the building all I could smell was cigarette smoke, my wife said it smelt of fart. Everything in the room was sticky, the shower curtain was mouldy, and the walls were damaged. Outside was the sound of people smoking, fighting and coughing up lung. We were there 10 minutes before we booked a new hotel. We couldn’t stay it didn’t feel safe.

Never got to stay. I wanted to transfer the booking to another date a month later due to making an error. Expedia let saying that the hotel would not refund the money, which I didn't want to do anyway and the hotel would change the date nor offer any other acceptable outcome. Very unhelpful from Expedia and the hotel, luckily it was only $75 but Kiwi's do not like this lack of service and my review may cost you more than my booking.

We booked 4 nights here and stayed one night and left. We were in the older part of the building, when we opened the door to the room we walked through cobwebs. The queen standard room looks nothing like the pictures advertised and was very damp/musty. The wallpaper was peeling, there was cobwebs and dust all throughout the room. The drinking glasses were not cleaned, they had dried liquid in the bottoms still. Huge crack in the bathroom, which could use an upgrade. The area outside seemed sketchy and unsafe. Reception unoccupied during check-in hours.

Overall the stay was okay and comfortable and had what we needed for the night. There was no reception on site but the janitor happened to be in the back and was able to contact owner (?), get our room key and send him a photo of our ID (kinda seemed like a sketchy process). The room is in an older building that had public access from downtown. Not soundproof at all as it’s regular wood doors along a hallway. But overall okay considering the low cost of the room and last minute booking.

Even though i paid for parking, there wasn't always one available, especially at night. Couldnt sleep when upstairs tenants were having party and stomping on floor which shakes bottom unit. Only one washing machine between all units which was leaking and draining down the driveway. The only positive part is its affordability and availability at short notice.
