Budget beauty perfectly placed for Wellington sights
Set within the heart of Wellington’s cultural, business, and entertainment districts, the Abel Tasman Hotel is a welcome haven for guests looking to explore the city’s charms at fabulously affordable prices. This is a three-star-rated hotel that has recently undergone complete refurbishment to become a cozy and stylish place to stay. Featuring the Bistro 169 restaurant, serving breakfast/brunch and dinner, and featuring a lovely outside patio, this smoke-free property also includes a spa tub and several meeting rooms suitable for business guests.
3 Reasons To Stay:
  • Within walking distance from many top Wellington attractions
  • Charm and style on a budget
  • Spa tub and restaurant on-site
Abel Tasman Hotel Rooms
The 73 guestrooms plus three suites in the Abel Tasman Hotel range from standard to superior, and all benefit from the hotel’s comprehensive refurbishment. Décor is simple yet elegant, with sturdy wooden beds and white bedding highlighted in red accents which recur throughout the hotel. Bedrooms include comfortable armchairs, bedside tables, and discreet lighting, with tea and coffee-making facilities and high speed Internet access available in all rooms (some fees may apply). Hair-dryers and complimentary (weekday) newspapers and toiletries are also included in the room package, and all accommodations are served by pleasant, modern bathrooms. In-room televisions include Sky TV and premium channels, and babysitting and room service are both offered (fees apply). Welcome touches include blackout drapes to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep, as well as air-conditioning and daily housekeeping. The Abel Tasman Hotel is warm and welcoming with considerable charm, and far more style and amenities than you might expect for a hotel of this caliber and price. The hotel features the attractive Bistro restaurant and benefits hugely from its excellent situation in vibrant, lively Wellington, a gorgeous seaside city renowned for its revamped waterfront, outstanding museums and café culture.

Basic hotel, great staff

Old building that has been refurbished. Cheap rooms are very basic, but quite large. Bathroom was big. TV old, ceiling was plain soundboard, no colour or art on the walls. However, staff were excellent in the hotel and restaurant.

The staff were very efficient

The staff were very efficient and friendly and the room was very clean and neat - and very important - you had enough tea, coffee and hot chocolate - which helps if you have to work through the night - which I had to do.

Handy to several attractions in

Handy to several attractions in central Wellington, the Abel Tasman, although forty or more years old and lacking the bells and whistles of the newer and more expensive places, is scrupulously clean, the rooms reasonably spacious, the beds clean, comfortable and warm, the staff friendly and polite. The adjoining bistro does a limited but excellent quality menu for dinner, a formidable array of different things for breakfast and some pretty decent beer. Staff here are friendly and attentive. Well worth staying if you are in the budget range.
