- We stayed Friday and Saturday night. The Bald guy at reception was top notch. Super helpful and had a good conversation. - The leisure centre was awesome. I do wish it was open 24/7 but the 11pm close was pretty good.

- There were a lot of used towels spread around the leisure centre the first night we stayed. - I am a frequent sauna user, and as a suggestion to make your sauna a 10/10, I would add a water cooler in the pool area to encourage sauna users to hydrate. A clock in the area so users can look out the sauna window to track how long they have been in is also a safe guard for new users.

Complete facilities ( swimming pool, sauna, fitness room, coin-operated guest laundry, in-house restaurant and room service; friendly staff, comfy beds, robes & slippers, hair dryer and steam iron, etc.). A short walk to Cuba Street & lots of food, coffee & craft beer choices: 13-15 minutes on foot to Taranaki Street and the Wesley Methodist Church which was the venue of a lovely Candlelight Concert we caught before Christmas; and not really very far from Te Papa and the Harbour. Very walkable! Initially, we thought that the location of this hotel was rather remote but, after staying here a few days, and because of their special guest elevator where you can get off and enter the hotel at the lower street level, we found it to be quite a convenient and well-appointed location.

Not much. We arrived with no expectations, as it was our first Movenpick experience, and left most pleasantly surprised! With so much to do in Wellington, we kept missing their " Chocolate Hour"! Hope to catch it on our next visit...

Room, Sauna, Pool, lounge and happy hour were great.

One of the bar staff was rude by questioning me that I ordered my wine after happy hour and they charged me a full price. I don't know why he asked me that question while I checked the time and ordered my second wine quickly before the happy hour finished. He asked me twice and looked at me with such face expression that I was telling him wrong information so that I can get away with a happy hour price. I felt very disappointed and it kind of ruined my mood after such a good time in the bar.

Lovely place! Its fun that there's the happy hour and chocolate hour- which you gotta go down quick so you'll have more options! Twas amazing. I also chose this place because of the sauna - did NOT disappoint! Would certainly be back again one day.

Maybe don't say that the place is sound proof. I can hear my neighbour's talking and ..ya know.. lady even had the audacity to tell me to fluff off and keep it down during a phone call ... which I was not even a minute out of my call and got the karen knock already. Lol

We loved the friendly greeting from staff who were accommodating and very helpful. We were able to book in early whivh was massive gor us as we were really tired. Our room was clean and comfortable...and really nice. We loved the relaxing atmosphere and the hotel had everything we wanted and needed. The afternoon chockie hour was a hit for my son and I and we enjoyed chatting with other guests. We used the gym, sauna and pool facilities to work off the chocolate and loved the robes and bathroom by the pool to use afterwards. There was an abundance of towels which was really great. In the morning we loved the buffet breakfast which was included in the price. We have already recommended the hotel to our family and friends and are looking forward to booking again in the future. Thankhou for exceeding our expectations. Rochelle and Eli Montgomery

The hospitality was excellent! Each and every staff made me feel so special and looked after. If and when I do come back to Wellington, I would like to come and stay with Movenpick again.

I personally was disappointed with the In Room Dining menu. The choices were very limited and there was nothing fancy or special. I was surprised to not see any steaks or burgers or grilled meat/seafood options or even pasta! Even the dessert options were not impressive, sadly. With the amazing taste and selections of Movenpick ice cream, I was very surprised that I was given only 3 flavour options. I travel a lot for both work and leisure and have stayed in many hotels across the world and have been very impressed with many of the 5 star and even 4 star hotels in room dining selections. So if something could be done about this, it would be awesome!

Wonderful stay thank you. Very accommodating, they got me a shower stool as I have a health condition that means I can stand for long and have sensory sensitivities - the dark room was great!

There was a loud noise outside my room (clicking noise) all night. I had ear plugs though and there a strong perfumed smell in the lobby (I have sensory issues due to my illness). Would love to see the hotel adopt the sun flower hidden disability scheme. Also my room service staff member spilled curry and it went all over a white t shirt and it has stained unfortunately:-(

A lovely hotel, decor feels very modern and relaxing. The bed and pillows, soft and luxurious, one of the best things about the stay. Got a little pod coffee machine in our room, unexpected but was nice. All the mod cons, the central heating worked well and as it should, the bathroom was clean and shower was nice. The room itself a good size spacious with comfortable chair at the desk but minimalistic which I like. The complimentary cookies and cocoa husk tea at the door each day and chocolate hour wonderful! And the staff and valet service excellent. It was 35 per day for the valet but we really did make the most of it coming and going atleast twice a day. Pool gym and sauna lovely, great location in town would stay again!

The bathroom was a little on the small side doesnt leave a lot of room for toiletries to be stored. The door to the bathroom was glass and was off its roller when we arrived, my husband fixed that. Also, the glass roller door doesn't give much in the way of privacy. Light connection would prefer separate so I could choose what lights I want on rather than a all or nothing. Although there were separate lamps it wasn't a major issue.

We had a great experience staying at Movenpick Wellington! Rooms were decent sizes and very clean. Staff were friendly / helpful and the valet parking service is very convenient. Great amount of amenities within the hotel itself and it is located a short walk from Cuba Street and the Wellington CBD.

Note that the hotel is located on a hill, so definitely ask the hotel staff about the VIP lift! Uber and rental scooters / bikes are also a great way to get back to the hotel after a night out in the city.

Location, view

Room was lovely bathroom was very cramped. Nowhere to hang towels only on rack above toilet which obviously intruded on the use of toilet. Would be passable for a single traveler overnight stayi but with two women for two nights not comfortable. The restaurant was lovely and food well prepared but a less expensive and lighter option would be very valuable for the travel weary flyer who wants a tasty light meal, as location isn’t suitable to pop out for a bite. The sauna was a lovely addition.
