Accommodation within walking distance to city and lots of eateries. Room and bathroom extremely clean. Would recommend staying here. Lots of special touches. This property feels loved.
Had a lovely stay at Richmond Guest House. Was myself and my 2 other girlfriends (21 year olds from Canada) who shared a 3 person room, rooms are perfect size and having our own bathroom was a huge bonus coming from staying in hostels prior. John and other staff were lovely, John even went out of his way to carry my friends heavy suitcase down to our room for us. Will definitely be booking here again if I find myself back in Wellington!
The location is good, around a 20 minute walk to the marina and less to the city centre. Rooms are pleasant & ours was clean.
Breakfast was basic, but fine, choice of cereal and toast. Coffee is instant.
The biggest problem with the guest house, which would stop us staying again, was John the host who was really rude to guests.
We had an early flight into Wellington so I messaged the day before arrival to ask if we could drop our bags off around 10am (not check-in early) so we could walk around Wellington without our suitcases! I got no reply, but we headed there at 10 & were greeted with hostility by John & 'there's a reason have check-in times'! There was no greeting or apology for not having the service available and when I said we'd messaged the day before he ignored me. He did allow us to leave our bags in his office but we did it in such a hurry & we felt almost shooed out that we left things behind we needed for the day!
The following morning at breakfast John was equally rude to guests making everyone feel really uncomfortable. Breakfast is 7-9am & we went at 8am. Unfortunately lots of people made the same choice and there wasn't space for all. John sent some people away & told them to come back in 10 minutes & then went on a rant about everyone having no intelligence & all turning up at the same time! Are his guests meant to be mind readers! He also made comments about some nationalities & was rude to a guest requesting filter coffee!
Very unpleasant experience.
