Willis Wellington was great value for money. Negatives: the water pressure in the shower didn't blow me away, the fittings are somewhat outdated, but perfectly fit for purpose. The king size bed is two singles pushed together creating the inevitable gap in the middle. Still being in the honeymoon phase of our relationship this was somewhat annoying, but the beds were comfortable, the rooms were warm. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and responded to our queries in a very timely manner. Location was great. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone needing accommodation in Wellington.

Réception friendly and accommodating Room clean and adequate, sufficient for a loo two night stay -> I would say that the kettle and the sink were impossible to work together you couldn’t get the kettle under the tap to full it up - terrible set up. Also could do with a plug to charge gadgets near the bed side of the room

Felt the hotel was very tired. Outside in need of painting and a good tidy up. Inside lobby ok but the halls on level 4 tied looking and rooms very basic. Not even any pictures. i wouldnt pay anymore than the $73 per room that i paid. Staff on arrival were pleasent but not offering and extra information especially when i asked about the hotel not having a restaurant for breakfast. No offer of Cafes in the area. Not sure i would recommend this hotel to anyone
