Rydges Wellington

Good location to the ferry terminals. Although car parking was a short distance to the hotel. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice and replenished quickly. Room was good, the double bed was too soft for us. Had a view of the harbour. Even though there was a small hobb, there was no cooking equipment. Recommend to stay if you need an overnight before or after your ferry journey across Cook Strait.

We’ve previously stayed at a Rydges in different cities and have enjoyed it so far. Rydges Wellington, however, was a disappointing experience.nnRooms are outdated and are in dire need of renovations. Initial room given to us had stains on the bed and tv remote did not work.nUpon raising this, reception changed us to a different room, where everything worked but we did find an old sock under the desk.nnBoth rooms had worn out carpet, mouldy bathroom tiles and very loud, dusty air conditioning.nBeds were comfortable but due to the condition of the rooms, I wouldn’t recommend for longer stays.nnSwimming pools/spa needs ventilation. We came out of the place feeling sick with a sore throat from the overwhelming chlorine smell.nnWe’ve also noticed leftover food sitting in hallway for a full day. We’re not sure if it’s been cleaned as of yet.nnBreakfast buffet was the only redeeming factor during our stay with Rydges Wellington - great range of cooked breakfast.

The location is good. Very close to ferry. The building is old so the rooms would not look much impressive. The rooms and swimming pool were clean. But the showers in the swimming area did not have shower gel /shampoo/conditioner. Air conditioner was very old. The hair dryer was very dirty but was replaced with a new one on request in no time. Appreciate the service. The facilities could have been better for RYDGES

A disappointment - room was not well cleaned, the air conditioning worked poorly and did not cool the room, the gym was tiny and very limited, and breakfast was mediocre. Location was good and staff were good. I expected more for the price.

I would not recommend the hotel. The rooms are dated and although mostly clean not well stocked up empty fridge, min accessories. Breakfast is minimal - very heavily focused on offering fried food, no fresh ingredients avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.nThe staff are doing their best but with limited resources and infrastructure of the hotel - it is a real challenge.
