    We loved the simplicity and cleanliness of the bedrooms and shared bathroom. the lounge and kitchen were spacious and well-equipped. the surprise amenities like tennis courts, sauna, and movie theatre were a bonus. the staff was helpful and accommodating.

    Stayed at Dwellington in Wellington for a few nights. Loved the modern and spacious feel, with towels provided and a hot powerful shower. The basic breakfast and movie nights were a nice touch. Supermarket and restaurants nearby. Train station 10 minutes away with drop-offs arranged. Facilities were amazing, clean kitchen and comfy TV lounge. Mellow vibe and community dinners. Noah was so accommodating. Can't fault it.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    This hotel is conveniently located near the stadium, making it perfect for sports enthusiasts. the rooms are clean and comfortable, with top-notch room service. the breakfast is delicious, with a wide variety of options. the view from the hotel is breathtaking, and the leisure facilities are excellent. As someone who loves nature, I particularly enjoyed the lush greenery surrounding the hotel.

    The downside of this hotel is the limited parking space.

    This hotel is located in a quiet residential neighborhood outside of the city centre, but still within walking distance to town. The rooms have really comfortable beds with extra blankets and pillows, and there are bean bags in some of them. Breakfast, which includes toasts, is included in the rate.

    All was ok.

    Unbelievable facilities, lovely garden, very clean with great communal areas. Awesome little cinema. Smooth experience, excellent location for train station, just 5 minutes away. Breakfast was a real bonus for early departures. Delightful staff, helpful and cheerful. preferred this place over any fancy hotel. Highly recommend.

    I had a great stay at a hostel with thoughtful organization; sockets, wooden beds, linen, towels, and breakfast. The staff were helpful and cute.

    Nothing could have been better.

    The bed was comfortable, making it hard to get up in the morning. The shared bathrooms had a range of amenities, from hand cloths to hair dryers and curlers. The kitchen setup was modern and well-equipped, with coffee and tea readily available. The staff were friendly and accommodating, even catering to dietary restrictions like gluten-free options.

    Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.

    I recently stayed at a charming hotel in a quiet street, just a short walk away from the city center. The rooms were well-appointed, with comfortable beds and extra blankets for added coziness. I especially appreciated the private bathroom in my room and the small sink, which made it convenient for getting ready in the mornings. The hotel also provided a delicious breakfast with fresh toasts, included in the rate. it was a great value for money and the staff were friendly and attentive to detail.

    All was perfect, nothing to complain about.

    Spent New Year's Eve at a hostel and it was amazing! the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Appreciated the great free breakfast buffet and shuttle service to ferry. the location was perfect for exploring the city and the backyard was a comfy place to relax. the friendly staff and cat were a bonus!

    Only downside was the card lock system on doors which was a bit noisy during the night. the limited parking spaces were disappointing as we had to park far away and pay for it.

    The free chocolates and Easter egg hunt were great. The location was perfect for exploring the city and the nearby shops were convenient. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

    The noise level at night was unbearable. We could hear people talking and laughing loudly until the early hours of the morning.
