Naumi Hotel Wellington

"Loved the fun, whimsical decor of the hotel, my kids thought it was Willy wonkas hotel! Made it very fun and exciting. The choice dice in the room was a highlight for them too! Great comfy beds, clean and felt luxurious. Only issue was that the pool wasn't heated and nowhere was it stated online that it wasnt' a heated pool..which was a big reason we chose to stay at Naumi. If it wasn't for that it would have been a 10/10 stay. Would still choose to go back thoigh. Very cool hotel."

Naumi Studio Wellington

"Check-in was mediocre was not feeling the happy, friendly vibe that so many reviews wrote about. However that change with other friendly approachable staff during the course of the stay especially with the check-out staff who actually showed me there was an internal door to the carpark when they swiped their card to get me to my car. Which would of been helpful if I had been told that at check-in. Overall very happy with the stay. Thank You."

"This was my fourth stay , but unfortunately I was disappointed with the room this time as it was closest to the intersection which had a lot of road noise during the night and early hours of the morning, so we had disturb sleep. Next time I will definitely ask for a room on other side or not near the corner. Otherwise room is clean and comfortable and handy location"
