Rydges Wellington

Check in was smooth. The room was also fine, however shower pressure and the shower in general could have been much much better for a 4 star hotel. Beds were great, however the heater in our room did not work, only air con but was okay since a extra blanket in the room was provided.nnDuring the night, room service would not answer so we could not get milk till the morning as the milk in the fridge was spoiled. No biggie but you would think this would be checked.nnOur main issue was with parking. We ended up paying for Valet Parking $45 per night and were told to call reception if we needed to use the car as it would only take them 10-15 minutes to bring the car to the front. This was far from the truth as each time we had called them, they took 45 minutes to an hour to bring the car out. We would follow up with them in the lobby and were again asked for our room number and valet ticket number - phone call is pointless. This made us late an hour late to a birthday whole point of the trip and also delayed breakfast plans on the morning of check out.nnLack of urgency was frustrating.

Rydges Wellington was a great place to stay. The room was clean, spacious and in a really good location close to everything. The only downside was having to follow up each day to get basic housekeeping done, which was a bit frustrating. Other than that, the stay was really good and I’d definitely come back.

Parking - there Is very little and we couldn't get parking so book it early however they charge $45 extra DO NOT park across the road it's a set up you'll be stung by the council. We had to park a good 15minute walk from the Motel in a wilson car park that charged us $20 for the nightnBreakfast buffet - not worth the $39 I also am a Rydges Member as Rotorua Rydges is my main base and this did absolutely nothing to the breakfast price for 2 of us the buffet is small. Overall i give it a 6/10 mainly for location.

My family favorite hotel in Wellington is Rydges Hotel. The prices are great, and the food is amazing. The bar is a nice place to relax, and it's perfect for families during school holidays, with free candy and plenty of activities.nnThe rooms may be older and tired, but the pool area is fantastic. You can enjoy the sauna, relax in the spa, and have fun in the pool. If you want a vacation with kids at great prices, Rydges Hotel is the place to go!

Would definitely stay here again, the room we were given was so spacious, very comfy bed, big bathroom and good shower. Coffee machine in room was welcomed in the morning and when asked if we could have a slightly later checkout than 10am as we were rather late checking in it wasn't an issue. All the staff we encountered were so helpful and friendly. The location is perfect if u are coming from the train station or have business in the cbd to do.
