What a lovely hotel! Loved the sparkling and still water taps on each floor, the comfy and large room, and overall cool vibe this unique hotel has. Would definitely stay again.
We loved this small hotel. The room (we actually had two, coming in a night earlier than expected) was attractive and funky - kind of industrial chic. Great bar downstairs and excellent location with easy access to some of Wellington’s livelier areas.

Quirky, fun hotel just off Cuba street. Very impressed and pleased. Not a 24 hour reception so let them know if you will be late. Will definitely stay there again.
Great hotel, awesome rooms. Location, ambience, everything. Just not sure if some of the really nice extras they use to provide has dissappeared or reduced. Hope not.. they are the reason i chose to stay here..
