We stayed here for the second time and this time our experience was quite different to the first. The room was fine, the staff were....mechanical, the restaurant was appalling - the food, the "new" decor and the service left a lot to be desired - having only young inexperienced staff in a restaurant charging the prices they do is unacceptable....

I am have been travelling to Wellington on business for nearly 18 years and have been staying at the Bolton nearly weekly since 2008 with only short breaks between contracts. There is a reason for that. The rooms are spacious, with great facilities for the business traveller and always well presented. However, it is not that that keeps me coming... More

Stayed at this hotel last weekend and we were not impressed at all. The room was clean but in need of a freshen-up,paint wise. Found the front desk staff were on "automation",no warmth, just doing their job. The conceierge was the only bright spark,helpful and friendly. On Sunday we went down to breakfast and 3/4 of an hour later my... More

Went on the Autumn Escape package and upgraded to a small suite. This is a nice hotel but lacked the wow factor you would expect from such a hotel. Room was pleasant for a five star place but no more, quite functional. Breakfast was very average, food served tepid, service a bit all over the place. really OK place but... More

We booked the Autumn Affair package through the hotel's website. This entitled us to a 1 bedroom suite, a tapas tasting plate, 2 breakfasts in the restaurant and a late checkout. We thought this package to be good value for money. Check-in was easy and very friendly. The free wi-fi was very much appreciated but a little unreliable as it... More

We stayed in the Bolton Hotel for my mum's 60th birthday. As we were too early to check in to a room Evie on the front desk very kindly offered us the chance to have a discounted upgrade to the presidential suite in 1702 - so pleased we did this! It is in essence a beautifully appointed apartment with good... More
