Great location but no reception desk. They got my email wrong so we had no idea how to check in or where to park. Parking was expensive. Construction going on so foyer and lift a bit dirty. Loose tap and leaky shower hose. Bed was ok but sofas weren't. Had no milk so bought our own.

Great check in, we'd arrived in Wgtn early so were able to drop our bags off which was appreciated. Early check in confirmed by phone call so we could relax before the All Blacks game. Nice clean room, quiet and comfy bed. Thanks 😊

These apartments are in an excellent location, just around the corner from Te Papa and across the road from the waterfront. Lots of nice eateries within a short walk too. The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The balcony had views of the waterfront and was a lovely spot. We would definitely stay here again if coming back to Wellington.
