Top Victoria University of Wellington Hotel Reviews

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Nice and clean. Very comfortable and quiet"

Naumi Studio Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Very good"

Quest 256 Lambton

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, modern room. The kitchenette was well stocked and the washer dryer combo was an excellent addition."

Oaks Wellington Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Convenient location. Unfortunately minimal parking and first come first serve so highly inconvenient if you book with free parking because they won’t hold it for you. Nearest parking is paid $$ and expensive. Staff weren’t very helpful"

ibis Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and had everything that I needed."

InterContinental Wellington by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It's not the best hotel we've ever stayed at, but it's definitely the best in Wellington. Comfortable, clean rooms with nice view of the harbour. Byredo products were a nice touch. Good service, excellent food and drinks. Wish the TVs would have been Smart TVs with Netflix/Disney etc as it was weird to have to watch films on our laptop."

Sofitel Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Sofitel Wellington and honestly couldn't fault it. From the moment we arrived, everything felt polished, comfortable and just a little bit special. The room was beautiful and incredibly comfortable, and the whole hotel has that lovely sense of understated luxury without feeling stuffy or pretentious. The staff were excellent — friendly, professional and genuinely attentive. We particularly loved the little touches that made the stay feel special, including the evening turn-down service and the unexpected chamomile tea and chocolates. Those small details really do make a difference. We had cocktails and fish and chips at La Serre before taking a walk down to the harbour, which made for a perfect Wellington evening. The hotel is also wonderfully located for exploring the waterfront and central Wellington. What I loved most was that Sofitel didn't just feel like somewhere we slept while visiting Wellington. The hotel itself became part of the experience. It felt like a proper little luxury escape. We came home feeling completely relaxed and already talking about when we could come back. Would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended. ❤️"

Adina CityLife Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed there multiple time me, bidlg 2 bedroom apartment for 5 people, very spacious, very clean, excellent team, right in the middle of the city, best price for the biggest apartment. Will come back"

Rydges Wellington

8/10 Good

"This is an ok hotel. But don't advertise parking then say no we don't have any and we cldnt accommodate a ute anyway. We booked here as they advertised parking. Also fix the power sockets so they don't hang out of the wall and most modern hotels have USB plugs. This hotel doesn't."
