Top Western Lake Hotel Reviews

Rydges Wellington Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely luxurious stay and great service when you’re travelling to and from Wellington AirPort. We flew in very late and enjoyed room service and a comfortable bed and comfortable room 😊 so convenient 💯"

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"

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the 2nd time I have stayed here this trip. Great starting/ ending point if you are taking the Ferry. Make sure you contact the hotel if you think that you will arrive late."

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. ❤️"

Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental Bay

8/10 Good

"Place having much needed renovations, room was a great size and the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in for a long time. Will be back once all spruced up."

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"
