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.

Shepherds Arms Hotel

The room was simple but perfectly adequate for my needs. That said, I’d recommend the staff look into the vibration issue causing the main window to pulse in sync with a motor running somewhere else in the building—this rhythmic noise made it really hard to get a good night’s sleep. It’s a small but noticeable detail that could be improved. Despite that, the hotel has a welcoming vibe, great location just minutes from downtown Wellington, and the team is friendly and helpful. If they address the noise issue, this place would be even more impressive. Overall, a solid choice for a comfortable stay.
