Top Botanic Gardens Hotel Reviews

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

10/10 Excellent

"The view from the 22nd floor was amazing. Staff were very helpful and the whole hotel was well maintained and very clean. The only difficulty we had was the parking. The parking spots were very tight for the size of our vehicle but we did get our car to fit in the parking spot eventually. Besides the parking, we had a beautiful time while staying at the James cook hotel and we will definitely return to stay again the next time we are back in Wellington. Thank you to the team at the James cook hotel"

Adina CityLife Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"The 2 bedroom apartment was great. Situated central to cbd. However the biggest issue is the entrance and reception. Reception is on level 6 but the taxi dropped us at ground level. We were unable to get in. It was timely that someone arrived with a swipe card to help us. We also did the same to another group. Directions were not clear to where we had to register."

Travelodge Hotel Wellington

8/10 Good

"Breakfast & evening dining available, but we didn't choose this on the trip. Were happy with the view from our room and how quiet it was. Would stay again."

10/10 Excellent

"Great accommodation and location"

Quest 256 Lambton

8/10 Good

"The staff were excellent- very helpful and efficient- absolutely first rate. The hotel is in a good location for shopping and WOW. The room amenities are good - very nice having a tumble drier (for the towels)! No view, but didn’t expect one. No bar or restaurant but don’t need one as so many great places to eat and drink nearby. A nice, functional hotel in a great location and wonderful staff."

DoubleTree by Hilton Wellington

8/10 Good

"Clean but small twin bed room. Would have been much better with a coffee machine but loved the bathroom and lighting the room. Parking kind of painful but got the hang of it and was then ok. Nice vibe."
