Hotels near Civic Square in Wellington

Location was great, in the city. Not in a busy street so nice and quiet. I was in a townhouse which had all the necessary amenities. Very clean. Awesome staff. I left something behind and they were kind enough to keep it for me. A great coffee shop and asian restaurant about 100m from the entrance which was really ideal. McDonalds down the road, 24hr dairy shop and pharmacy so location is great for business and family travellers. Also the bus stop for the bus that goes to the airport is about 200m down the road. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!

location is great! just a short walk to Cuba Street and waking distance to Wellington Waterfront, Civiv district and Wellington Cable Car. room is spacious and the kitchenette well equipped, we love there is a washing machine and dryer in the aparrment, a good stop choice for doing laundry and cooking home meals, few eating places around the area for those eating out, but some f&b do close pretty early with afternoon rest between 2-5pm, so check out the timings. downside the fire evacuation alarm went off twice in a night, we got back to our rooms after a long wait, but the firemen and engines were a special perk to our trip. no daily housekeeping service so those with longer stays have to ask for fresh linens when required. staff are friendly and helpful, will recommend this place!

The room is actually not as big as the picture, but the sanitation is very good. The front desk is very friendly and always provides the help you need. On the first day, I gave me a map of the city. After 2 days, I measured the seaside streets and piers with my feet. It is even more friendly for passengers taking the Airport Express AX. Under the intersection of Manners Street and Willis Street, walk south on the right hand side of the uphill road. Tea and coffee tubes are enough, and chocolate. I can't drink coffee anymore, I drink chocolate, and the hotel also prepared a large cup for me intimately. Very close to Cuba Street, in fact, not far from where to go. When I left, Beth happened to be off work, went home and drove BYD, took me to the airport, and turned a corner to see the filming place of the Lord of the Rings. Really friendly. If I go to Wellington again, I will definitely choose their home.

good location advantage to have a taxi rank at the front door room very clean lovely kitchen fully well equiped bathroom fully equiped washing machine access very secured good helpfull reception staff what more do you want ?

The main attraction of Willis Wellington Hotel is the price. It's good for a budget conscious one night stay if you aren't looking to spend lots of time in the room. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, but very dated. The location is right on the edge of the CBD, so it's quite a long walk to most places.

Really conveniently located hotel and good sized room. Really lovely helpful, staff on reception. I had booked an interior room with no window so was pleasantly surprised to have a ceiling skylight. Unfortunately the surfaces and amenities (kettle, glasses, spoons) were covered in dust. I thought it might be a ventilation issue as the high window probably doesnt open, but when I ran my finger over the desk it was a thick layer so not sure it had been cleaned for a while. I was only staying one night so didn't bother complaining but did start wheezing in the night so wish I had said something. Easily fixed for future guests with proper dusting!

Quite the experience.  I was hoping for ‘cheap and cheerful’ fairly close to town. That was the case for the room and the breakfast options surpassed my expectations.  We slept well and were happy to have somewhere to stay that didn’t cost an arm and a leg.  After checking out we had a riotous time over a drink, reading through past reviews as we are clearly not alone in noticing the ‘Fawlty Towers-esque’ demeanour of the owner/manager.  He likes to complain about guests and after a couple of chats with him we were bemused to o notice that we had inadvertently behaved incorrectly and were the subjects of gossip with new guests - while we were still in the room!  I might have grey hair but my hearing is still intact.  My impression is that he’s harmless enough, just lacking in some social etiquette.  If you remember Basil Fawlty and take it with a grain of salt, you’ll be fine.

The location is quite convenient, there are many restaurants around the building, especially many Chinese restaurants. The transportation is also quite convenient, the overall environment is quite clean, and the facilities are quite complete.

Aura Hotel is located right next to the vibrant Cuba street and Courtenay place. The room on level 2, block J was spacious and in great condition. However, the first room I was assigned in Block 'N' had a strong, suffocating smell and lacked windows. I called the front desk to request a room change since I couldn't find any windows in that room or the dining area, only to be informed that all blocks in the hotel were windowless. As I walked back to the front desk, I noticed a block with open windows. The front desk staff wasn't happy with me for checking other blocks and also annoyed when I informed him that I knocked on neighboring 5 empty rooms in the Block, without any response, to enquire if they experience the smell too. The personnel claimed that the block I saw was the only one with windows and was fully booked. I returned to my initial room, but the odor persisted, prompting me to return the keys and applied for a refund. After almost an hour, we inspected the room again with the receptionist, and surprisingly, the smell had vanished. Despite this strange encounter, I still opted for a room change. I was given another room in block 'J', which, while also lacking windows, it had a better odour. As I explored the floor after settling in, I discovered several other blocks with windows. This experience reflected very poor service and dodgy misleading information from the front desk. The first six uploaded images are of Block N, while the subsequent images, beginning with the keys, showcase Block J.
