I am a little concerned to how much cleaning is done in the rooms, the bathroom was clean and floor looked clean but there was bottle caps under a chair so nothing could of been moved when the vacuuming was done and hair clip visible under a bed. We had small children and bottle caps are an hazard.

When in the restaurant the wait staff were a little eager to clear the table, I found it a bit rude as we hadn’t finished eating and our plate and cutlery was taken before it was ready to go, luckily we had extra place setting at our table so could use cutlery.
Also my 4 year olds plate was taken while she was still eating her toast, she wondered what was happening. Just because there is nothing on the plate doesn’t mean we have finished. This happened at breakfast.

The reception area was clean and tidy

While the lobby and restaurant are nice the rooms and corridors are very basic,. Cheap carpet tiles, foam tile ceilings and plain white walls. Budget furnishings. Single glazed windows overlooking a busy road made the room cold and noisy. None of the extra touches I’d expect from a 4.5 star “luxury” hotel.

Location is excellent, close to bus stops, shopping, waterfront walk, Te Papa etc. Bed was comfortable enabling a good sleep each night. Staff very helpful, especially when I had trouble with using the TV. They came up to my room and showed me exactly what to do.
On the not so wonderful side was the electric jug. It might seem a very minor thing but when you are staying for several days it begins to bug you. While the base was of one make, the jug was of another meaning the jug didn’t sit properly on the base. Instead it wobbled. Also the jug was so large that it didn’t fit properly under the tap meaning you could only fill it a little. Overall, James Cook is a good place to stay.

We have stayed previously & the room was excellent. But, this room was not as good. The room itself was good, price excellent, but the location of this room has a lot of noises that we weren't not sure where they were coming from. A knocking noise & a humming noise that would come & go throughout the night. Otherwise, our stay was good & will stay again, just maybe not that room.

Rooms were fine but very noisy. I could hear the person next doors tv perfectly which was not appreciated late at night

Property was good for something reasonably cheap to sleep in a comfy clean room and bed. Breakfast extremely average. Coffee was horrible thankful to have only stayed 1 night simply because we got in on a the late flight and didn't get to the hotel until 2am and checking out 9hrs later.

Overall quite good, lack of extras in room, mini bar & goody drawers empty, sachet coffee only especially since a number of hotels now have Nespresso machines in the room. Have to pay extra for an espresso at breakfast. Bed OK if you like the type of body forming mattress but not my favorite. Great location.

Buffet breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of food. The staff are polite and efficient. The location of the hotel is excellent and within easy walking distance of Te Papa, theatres,Parliament and restaurants. The only downside of my stay was an excessive bond($100 per room per day) as I do not have a credit card. This would limit the length of stay at this hotel

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve stayed here! Lovely staff, sparkling clean room and environment, and so handy for parking and getting on and off the mortorway. We ate from room service menu this time and the food was fresh and hot and presented beautifully. Will continue to use this hotel as home away from home every time I stay in Wellington.

Location was fantastic, we had been specifically looking for a room that had a terrace/balcony so we could open windows but on arrival we were told this hotel does not have them, although that was noted on the booking as available on expedia. Disappointed on arrival but we stayed anyway and had a lovely peaceful night in the city and great access to everything we came for. Inclusive parking was great though you can't re-enter the carpark once checked in , it has to stay there till check out so we just walked where we needed to go.

For the money, it was average. Parking was an issue for $35/day. It was hard to get one on the right level.

No safe in the room. At checkin, four counters, only two manned, big queue. A management type arrived, looked at the queue and went away again. He did not call for extra staff.
