Comfortable bed, free parking, great location for Newtown and affordable for a basic room.
Very convenient to supermarket and eateries. Close to Otago Uni where I was attending a course. Amenities clean & easy "late check in" process. Staff did dishes when I'd left to go out for the day.
We enjoyed our stay and would book again when we are in the area . Thanku 😊

Far to walk to the city at least 30 mns ,kitchen needs utilities. I find it dangerous to use the stairs outside there’s no light at night. Also busy road quite noisy
The owner was so helpful and caring. I booked 2 units but in the end really only needed 1 as there were just the 3 of us. She offered a partial refund and was kind enough to move her car to assist with parking and also helped with the luggage!
There was a stale smell in the room and the carpet is disgusting, needs to be removed. The bed covers were old and looked like from an op shop. The wind came through the floor, walls, doors and windows so therefore got no sleep.

Convenient location to Wellington hospital, a short walk round the corner.
Single and queen bed available, they were comfortable.
Had all facilities you need to live out of for a few days, my stay was for 3 days.
Lovely friendly staff. Serviced the room daily.
Old building is well kept.
The staff is always available to assist as needed, any time in 24 hours.
Managee Mtchel has been great during our stay at the hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness
This property was clean and tidy and reasonably priced. Great location if you are visiting someone in Wellington Regional Hospital but the flip side to that is that you are right in the flight path of the rescue helicopter.

Property very close to hospital and supermarket.
Noisy environment, rude drunk "guests" who I suspect are long term. Expensive. No sky TV though it was mentioned in materials.
