The location of the OHTEL can nor be beat. The view from our room with a balcony gave us fresh air and a wonderful entry spot into New Zealand. We were just minutes from the Te Papa museum, a grocery store and the waterfront was right out the door. The hotel is small and funky indeed but our room was... More

Ohtel is a super funky hotel right where you need to be in Wellington. It's right near the water and waterfront museum and a short walk to all the shopping and restaurants. More

Having stayed in larger hotels previously this is areal find. Small and funky with modern and rooms and well decorated with high quality lined and beds it is delightful place to stay. The huge two person bath and excellent water pressure in the shower are also great. Brekafast in the lobby was nice and the coffee up to Wellington's very... More

This is a nice little boutique place to stay in Wellington, just a few minutes walk from the action. We received a warm welcome upon arrival, and were shown to our room with a view. We really liked the design and furnishings, definitely a differentiator for this place. There was also a great entertainment system in our room. If you're... More

Totally recommend this hotel. The mid-century furnishings were initially the draw card, and I wasn't disappointed. The rooms were cosy and retro with all the mod cons. Tivoli and iTunes music selection on the tv. Free wi-fi. Lots of bathroom accessories from condoms to lint brushes. The big plus was you can walk to city stores, restaurants and sites from... More

My husband and I have stayed in this wonderful boutique hotel twice now and would certainly go back each time we visit Wellington. It is right in the centre of Wellington, water views, and walking distance to all the sights, restaurants and shops. The staff are great, very friendly and made us feel very welcome and a part of the... More

If you are one of those people who likes to hang out in soulless, heartless bland hotels, where you are just a room number....don't stay here. If you don't like it when you walk downstairs, and someone who owns the place actually knows you name, don't stay here. If on the other hand you love it when the place is... More

This is our second and last stay at the Ohtel. We truly love the idea of this hotel, mid-century modern can be fabulous, what the ohtel is lacking is integrity. We booked a suite, and we're taken aback. All the furniture was very run down, cheep, and stained, even a rip in the vinyl couch, nothing had been refinished, more... More

We had a memorable stay in Wellington. (It was the Rugby 7s weekend!). The hotel is in a great location with beautiful views. Heidi was there at all hours and was a great host. Our room was quirky. The modern bathroom was fine. However, the "mid-century furnishings" (ie well worn 1960s/70s teak) will not be to everyone's taste in a... More
