The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, always ready to help with a smile. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Wellington, just a short walk from public transit, shopping districts, and local cafes. I loved how easy it was to explore the city on foot.

Travelodge Hotel Wellington
This hotel is an absolute gem for the price—excellent value and incredibly convenient. Just a short walk from the metro station and right in the heart of the city's shopping district, making it easy to explore Wellington on foot. The room was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. The bedding was comfortable, and the soundproofing made for a peaceful night’s sleep—no noise from the hallway or street. Check-in and check-out were both quick and smooth, with friendly staff who made everything hassle-free. Breakfast was served on time, fresh, and offered a good variety of options. No complaints at all—this place truly delivers on comfort, location, and service. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to any traveler visiting Wellington.
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.
Oaks Wellington Hotel

The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and attractions nearby.

I arrived late one evening and had no issues getting checked in; even during the night, staff were available if needed. It made the whole experience so much more comfortable and stress-free. For travelers who value convenience and reliable support, this hotel delivers on every level. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Wellington.
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.
