I travel to Welington twice a year for business and try a different hotel each time. This is definitely my favourite. Brilliant location, big rooms, love the art everywhere, fantastic view across the harbour. Had dinner alone at the restaurant - the service was great and I felt quite comfortable eating there alone, I will definitely stay here again and... More

The hotel is in a great location and close to the main restaurants, museum and harbour. The service was OK, nothing to write home about. The room we had was average and close to the lift which was quite noisy. I am sure there are better rooms that are quieter. The room was cleanish and had everything you need, ipod... More

I have stayed at the Museum Art Hotel several times in recent months. Each time has been a pleasure. The staff are attentive and courteous. The rooms are relatively large, with a kitchen for those who want to self-cater (must be a Kiwi thing!) and a good bathroom with a very good sized bath and shower. The bathroom design is... More

Now this is actually a good hotel. In particular the location is great .Beds, bathroom are nice and clean. What I don't get is that when you pay $190.00 for a night why can't i get free internet. They charge a lot . Their excuse is , that there is free internet in the lobby. Get with it guys !... More

While the art in the lobby is amazing, the rooms are pretty average. Our room was very small, partly because the configuration wastes half the room size in a poorly designed bathroom. This is a hotel that just doesn't pay attention to detail either: big scrapes on the walls in the corridor, soft and squishy bed, loose locks. It's like... More

This was my second stay at this hotel; the last time was about three years ago. Last time, I was in a hotel room; this time I was in a two-bedroom apartment. The apartment was great: roomy, sunny, kitchen, washing machine, blackout curtains in the bedrooms, good air-con/heating,great water pressure in the shower, and a fantastically deep bath for soaking....

This is a stylish, eclectic design hotel right on the harbour in Wellington. It's location is perfect for wandering around town and it is opposite the Te Papa museum for all things kiwi!

Really, this is a well thought out and quite excellent place. Best location, decor done well and the sommelier selected a wine that matched my expectations for the first time since Autumn of '96 in Hong Kong. What a good team. The front office receptionist is best-in-class too.

This is a particularly elegant hotel, full of art and right in the centre of Wellington opposite Te Papa with views of the harbour. The experience of staying there was a mix of the very good and the very bad. The room we stayed in was a deluxe harbour view, which was expensive but worth it for a lot of... More

Thanks for your comprehensive review. Regarding the Sauna, one of the 3 elements had failed, and your comment has actioned repair. That was a first, so it's now on our regular maintenance checklist. Your comments on our Breakfast would have been more helpful if they were more specific. For $25 per person, you can enjoy our full buffet of, juices,... More

I was there for a conference and the room I got smelt and air con wasn't working so the lovely helpful staff changed my room with minimum of fuss. The bedding was nice and comfortable. Really appreciated the service.
