What’s a fantastic place to stay and very east to get to places around Wellington

Not the best room (internal view). Bed good. Bathroom average. Had a hostel feel and smelt like paint. Was cold after Bali and aircon didn’t really heat it up much. Service very good and the bar restaurant area is attractive. Didn’t try restaurant as lots of options nearby. Good value.

A lovely place to stay. The only negative was that there were some very noisy people in the corridor whilst we were trying to sleep.

We rally like our stay at The James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor. Walking distance to the harbour and Cuba street.

The hotel is situated in a very good location in downtown Wellington. We can go around the city very easily.
The breakfast place is on the 17/F. The environment is good and it’s tidy. However, the breakfast lacks variety esp. when we take guests who are from all over the world into consideration.
Also, the hotel room looks very old. Beds are relatively small. The bed can barely fit 2 people to sleep and it’s funny that the beds are movable.
The most disappointing issue is the hair dryer. It works only for few minutes! The model is just too outdated! Staff are just ok.

We had a wonderful stay and enjoying the great location and convenience of exploring the city. The room is newly renovated, clean and well kept. My daughter had the really delicious gelato as shown in the photo.
