Pros: Good location. Clean. Helpful staff. Daily complimentary coffee, tea, snacks. Daily chocolate delivered to room. Cons: Property a bit dated. Dark decor not for everyone’s taste. No safe in the room. Any cons, though, were offset by the friendliness and willingness of the staff and the services provided by the hotel. Overall, a quiet and comfortable stay in a good location.

If boutique bliss had a capital, it would be The Intrepid. Nestled right in the beating heart of Cuba Street, this hotel is an absolute knockout—effortlessly cool, yet warm and inviting. The rooms? Impeccably designed, whisper-quiet, and so comfortable you’ll consider moving in. The Puffin, the hotel’s bar, is a masterclass in atmosphere—expertly mixed cocktails, a killer wine list, and that perfect “just one more” vibe. And the location? You’re slap-bang in the middle of Wellington’s most vibrant strip, surrounded by great food, street art, and endless character. Stay here once, and you’ll never want to stay anywhere else.
