I suppose was ok for a 1 night stop over.
Glad we got it for a good price as it wasn't worth paying anymore.

Only good thing about it was its location.

The receptionist when we checked in was terrible, especially with parking & driving around Wellington.
I was advised to drive down the one way street the wrong way, to get to the carparks outside the hotel & also to drive down Manners street which is buses only.

Her customer service skills definitely needed refining as she wasn't very pleasant either.

Very Central, we were lucky as were upgraded. Staff very nice and helpful. Hotel a little old, plain, no amenities. Paint chipping, sink broken, srained carpet, mug was dirty. Good block out curtains, quiet for being so central, bed comfortable. No A/C hut plug in heaters.
Parking $ per hour in front of hotel when available otherwise $35 a day through hotel.

Tired - looks ok on the surface.

Good that you can open a window, but very noisy outside (not the hotel's fault).

My room was right next to the lift which was very noisy and there was a constantly banging door - this alone means I wouldn't stay here again.

Good central location.

Perfect location and on an upper level but sadly we puld hear the lift motor on the top floor above us. We also heard the glass bottles being emptied by trucks which would have been worse if lower. Few stains on the carpet but overall acceptsble and we would prob stay again.

Excellent staff, they were very helpful. The cleaners were great! And the room was large.

The property itself is quite dated, there were stains on the carpet, old bathrooms, no air conditioning and noise travels through the walls. There is only one functioning elevator, so it takes quite a while to go up and down. The hotel is good enough, just needs a renovation.

The sheets and towels were clean and new looking, but the hotel overall is just quite dated. For a very short time the elevator stopped working while we were there. The room we stayed in was quiet and we even got lucky being higher up and got a bit of a view which was lovely. I think it was good value for the price we paid. It's evident some money has been put into renovating/upkeeping the place, but there are still more renovations needed.

We enjoyed our stay! 2BDR apartment had enough space for our family of 4, and it was clean and tidy. Shower water pressure was amazing! Some fixtures are a little outdated yes but it really didn’t bother us. Food places are everywhere, there’s a 24 hour convenience store and McDonalds across the road if you get in late like we did. Out the front are a handful of car parks which are free overnight, otherwise there is a Wilson carpark behind Mercure. Bus stop is across the road. It really was a neat spot in the CBD, we have no complaints!

Mercure needs to work on this property. There is a mini fridge, a kettle and a microwave, but no plates, bowls, forks or spoons to be found in my room. Temperature control was another issue. There is heating, but if that unit cools, it was not working. It could be a great hotel if there was more thought put into what a tourist might need for comfort and convenience.

This centrally located semi-highrise hotel was the perfect fit for my time in Wellington. It’s right where I needed to be and the price seemed pretty reasonable for all it offered. I think I may have lucked out being on a high floor, but the views were outstanding, the airflow between windows was great, and the water pressure was a true gift after lots of walking. I really enjoyed the nearby shops and restaurants and the attentive front desk. There is no gym but there are plenty of other things to do around the area. I would return.

Many poor design choices; overall incredibly dated

4 nights solo in room 1604, May 2025.

Probably the best view across the harbour/city from any building in Wellington. But...

-Tiny shower box
-Low shower pressure (but good temperature)
-Also low shower head (heightwise)
-Ridiculously big bowl sink in bathroom leaves barely any space for personal items
-Tap for bathroom sink on bench, not over sink, so you drip water everywhere whenever you turn the tap off with wet hands
-Heater and 2 lights not working - reported and apparently fixed but 1 light only intermittently and the heater never worked
-No extractor fan in bathroom
-Not enough rails or hooks across bathroom & kitchen (none in kitchen, one hook in bathroom and rails above toilet if you want to hang your towels above the toilet)
-No kitchen cloth/sponge, tea towel only
-Wobbly kitchen tap
-Kitchen items in open cupboards
-Microwave overdue for safety inspection (not something I would normally take notice of, but if you're going to display the sticker prominently make sure it's up to date)
-Uneven mattress
-No dresser or anything in bedroom to put items in/on
-2 TVs but neither with the ability to screencast
-Can hear the lifts from the bedroom

No Wi-Fi network called 'Mercure' anything, I had to call the front desk to ask what the network name was and they took 10 minutes to answer the phone.

When you exit the lift there are no signs to direct you to your room, and in the lift down low there's an access panel and a 'swipe here' sign - put the sign at eye level!

The hotel situated right in the central city. Many restaurants, cafes and shops in the walk distance.
Apartment with 2 bedrooms and kitchen is big enough for 4 of us. No AC only heater.
Noisy in the morning (around 4am) because the rubbish truck coming to collect the rubbish from the restaurants/bars behind the hotel.
Overall: It's a good stay for 1 night. That what you get for the price and in the central city

Staff are young trainees and very lovely - I felt sorry for them. Our room: Single Glazed and very noisy from street below, especially when the homeless hangout down the street at the DayNight convenience shop at night. Room was dated and scruffy, needs refurbishing. Dirty occasional chairs, filthy dining chairs! Dirty carpet. Shower was out of control and impossible to shower with out water going all over the floor. Bathroom sink was good but was scared the faucet would come loose. Bedroom TV did not work, no maintenance over the weekend. Not all power outlets worked, NO AIR CON! They brought us up a couple of fans.
GOOD PARTs: 2 things:
All staff we met were very lovely and did their best to keep guests happy. They are this hotel's biggest asset!
There was a large earthquake in the middle of the night and neither of us felt it! Pretty good since I used to live here and even a small shake usually has me holding my breath!

We had a good long weekend stay. It's basic with some cleanliness and wear and tear issues. The view was great and the staff were friendly and helpful.

There is no double glazing or air-conditioning so it was either hot or there was street noise. The shower leaked over the side and the toilet struggled to flush. There were renovations so we had no carpet down in the hallway and then had no access for a few hours while carpet was installed. Staff were good at letting us know and fixing what they could.

Overall it was a good budget stay in a greay location. Would stay again if the price was right.

Given the price of hotels in central Wellington, it was reasonable VFM. I only interacted with two people, the person who checked me in and the one who checked me out. They were both very nice and efficient. The apartment was small but had all you need (and all that was advertised). Like a lot of New Zealand hotels, it gives the impression of having seen better days (I think it must be a tradition or something)
