From the welcoming greeting at reception through to the well equipped room my stay was great. The bed was comfortable, plugs in easy to get to locations, great size towels, Sunday paper, clean and modern bathroom... Well you get the picture, they know how to look after their guests. The only negative was the gym which could have been better... More

It was the Bolton I know and love - great staff, great room, great facilitiesand great location - a short walk it was the Parliament to see Aaron Gilmore's valedictory speech. Only complaint would be the room service. I had varying experiences - one night I got the beer battered fish cooked perfectly and with a good amount of fries... More

We stayed for one night on a 5 star fling package, and were well looked after. The hotel was quiet and not at all busy, apparently it is busier mon-fri and quieter at weekends. The premier studio was a corner room and well set out, with a large bathroom and also kitchenette facilities. The tv reception was shady, but we... More

Stayed here for two nights with family. Shared a two bedroom apartment, had everything we needed. Two bathrooms was a bonus. Located very close to Parliament and Botanical Gardens. Only downside was roadside parking - or lack of it, especially during weekdays. Valet parking was available for $30 per day or Wilsons public carpark was directly next door. Aside from... More

Once I decided to visit Wellington for the Anzac Day Commemoration Service and to take in the AFL match between the Saints and the Swans, I could not have picked a better location, the Dawn Service was conducted within a 2 minute walk, and the game was a ten minute walk away. This hotel provided excellent accomodation and service, boutique... More

This small hotel provides a five star atmosphere in a discrete and tasteful way- don't expect a huge marble foyer with fountains and teams of flunkies as one will experience in a five-star establishment in Asia. The reception staff were pleasant and efficient, the room was lovely - stacks of space, a lovely view and spotlessly clean. And, joy of... More

We loved our visit to Wellington and our room at the Bolton. The room was very well done, spacious, and very clean. We had wonderful connections with the front desk staff helping us with restaurants and things to do, but for me even more so, they helped me find a great hairdresser.

Room reminded me of a shoebox in Hong Kong! Very small! But very well appointed with top quality amenities, perfect for business travel overnight type stays. wouldn't want to fit two people in, unless they were petite! Very efficient front desk and best of all FREE WIFI! Top marks nothing worse than that eye-gouging!
