Ramada by Wyndham Wellington Taranaki Street

The room was surprisingly spacious—almost like a little apartment, which made our stay incredibly comfortable. We really appreciated having a full kitchen setup with a washer and dryer on hand, perfect for longer stays or those who prefer self-catering. The only small tweak I’d suggest is adding a more comfortable sofa for two, as the single armchair isn’t quite enough for relaxing in front of the TV. Alternatively, relocating the TV to face the bed could make it even more cozy. That said, everything else about the hotel was excellent: clean, well-maintained, and very convenient for exploring downtown Wellington. Great value for the price, and we’ll definitely be back if we ever return to the city.

Copthorne Hotel Wellington, Oriental Bay

Staying at Copthorne Hotel Wellington, Oriental Bay was a highlight of my trip to Wellington. The room layout is smart and spacious, with a clean, well-maintained feel from top to bottom—every corner looked fresh and cared for. The view from the window? Absolutely stunning. Waking up to the ocean breeze and sunlight reflecting off the water was pure magic. Breakfast was excellent—plenty of variety, fresh ingredients, and hot options that hit the spot. The only minor note: the front desk staff were polite but slightly reserved, which I guess comes with being in a capital city vibe. Not cold, just more formal—nothing personal! Parking is pricey both across the street and at the hotel, but honestly, it’s expected in a central CBD area like Wellington. It’s not unique to this hotel—it’s just how things work in major urban centers. Still, I’d gladly pay extra for such a prime location and quality stay. Overall, an outstanding experience with great value for money. Would book again without hesitation.

Haka House Wellington

This is hands down the best hostel I've ever stayed at—no exaggeration. Each bed comes with its own privacy curtain, and the room key only grants access to your floor or the ground level, which makes security feel really solid. Right across the street is a New World supermarket open until 11 PM—perfect for late-night snacks or essentials. Plus, there's a beach just a short walk away, so you can enjoy the ocean breeze or relax on the sand without needing to travel far. If you're visiting Wellington, this is absolutely the place to stay. Great location, excellent value, and such a welcoming vibe—it’s hard not to fall in love with it.

Willis Village

Staying at Willis Village was such a pleasant surprise! The location is perfect—just a short walk from downtown Wellington, and public transit is super convenient.

I also loved the fully stocked kitchen, allowing me to cook my own meals—great for saving money and enjoying fresh food. The cleanliness was top-notch; everything felt spotless and well-maintained. The vibe of the place is cozy and modern, though you do need to climb a spiral staircase to reach your room—something to keep in mind if you're not up for a bit of walking. Parking is available nearby on the opposite side of the street for $28 per night, but it's only a 1-minute walk, so it’s totally manageable. Overall, this place offers fantastic value and charm—definitely my go-to choice next time I visit Wellington.

Breakfast wasn’t overly varied, but the quality was solid—especially the coffee and freshly baked bread, which made for a great start to the day. One thing to note: some of the facilities feel a bit dated, and the elevator does make a noticeable noise when moving between floors. However, it didn’t affect my comfort too much. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money in a prime city location. If you’re looking for a reliable, centrally located base with warm service and a peaceful atmosphere, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try.
