My stay at The Bolton was very good. The food was great, I loved the view from my room, and the staff were very helpful and kind. I had one problem: the washing machine, which was a key reason I chose the property, did not work properly. Three different times I had to call people to the room to fix the machine which had malfunctioned midcycle. On the last time, they took my washing away and did it for me. It cost me 4-5 hours in free time on my vacation dealing with it, so that was not great. They did comp my breakfast and some minibar water for the inconvenience. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. I will stay again, but I won't count on being able to do my washing.

Very good hotel in the city, very conveniently located just off the highway and without the need to get stuck in traffic. I arrived on a Sunday so I got to try the special Sunday Roast dining menu as well, very well portioned and nice restaurant setup. I also booked for the valet parking so it was really piece of cake checking in.

A nice hotel with awesome friendly staff. A weekend visit means you're in a noise free part of the city with not far to walk to the main CBD. The premier studio room contained a very comfy bed, a seating area to read or watch tv without laying on your bed, a small kitchen, and a spacious bathroom with an excellent shower. All in all.... a good visit to a hotel that's become our preferred option when visiting the city. Oh....... and an excellent Argentinian bakery nearby for morning and afternoon treats.

The staff were attentive and professional, from the duty management to the service staff. Room was quiet and clean. The hotel is well situated on the Terrace, making for an easy walk to shops and restaurants on Lambton Quay. The room rate was competitive with other hotels in Wellington which aren’t as good in my opinion.
