Top Lambton Quay Hotel Reviews

Quest 256 Lambton

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Adina CityLife Wellington

8/10 Good

"Interactions with Reception were always slow and transactional, going through the motions like robots. Older decor throughout but room was spacious, clean and comfortable and enjoyed the 11am checkout time. Would stay again if price was right"

Quest Atrium Serviced Apartments

8/10 Good

"Our room was a little cramped with the free standing air conditioning/heating unit. The courtyard in the Atrium is beautiful and so sheltered and an optical illusion with the tiling. Would stay here again. It’s not"

DoubleTree by Hilton Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Great central spot. Large room with huge comfortable bed. Clean and tidy"

Quest on Lambton

8/10 Good

"Great location, but checking in after hours and on Sunday, was not straightforward. The reception is not at the advertised address, and you need a swipe card to get into the foyer. Fine print shows a different address, an adjacent street up three flights of stairs, to find a door with an intercom to page someone. From there, it was easy."

Park Hotel Lambton Quay

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location to stay and enjoy all that Wellington has to offer at your fingertips. Walking distance to everything. Absolutely perfect for WoW!"

Quest Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"Wellington Hunter Street Quest Hotel receptionist was very friendly and welcoming, our room was very clean and comfortable and the location in Wgtn CBD is perfect for a weekend in Wellington with shops, cafes, restaurants etc in very close proximity and buses to and from airport within minutes walk round the corner on Lambton Quay. The Art Deco vibe is great and their lift is amazing. Will definitely book them again for a weekend in Wgtn."

Sofitel Wellington

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very nice appointed with lots of decorations decor"
