Great place at a great price.

Easy to find. Walking distance to the Quay. Host is interesting to talk to very helpful. I would definitely stay with him again.
Ian
Parking was in the road outsodethe Richmond Guest House. The owner validates your vehicle to park.
Check in was a little later than we advised as our ferry crossing dictated our arrival in Wellington. Our host was fine when we ipdatrd our arrival time once the ferry departed South Island.
Breakfast was included and was enjoyed by both of us.

The breakfast was wonderful and the room was amazing!
Tia
Had a lovely stay at Richmond guest house. Very clean, well organised, quiet, spacious rooms and convenient location. The free parking is organised by the lovely owner John, who emails the council your number plate (and then that is confirmed by the Wellington City Council). This meant I had an stress-free stay for 4 nights with safe on-street parking.
I had read the reviews of this property beforehand regarding uncertainty around the free parking, however Johns system with the council is legitimate as I saw the Wellington City Council email conversation with John regarding adding the number plates to the residential parking for the days guests stay at the accomodation.
Just thought I would clear that up to help any future guests with their decision to stay if they had worries about it!
Highly recommend this place!!

Lovely and clean, big room and bathroom, staff were helpful and accommodated our late arrival, breakfast was just what we needed.
Debra Ann
The room was clean and John friendly. Location was good, just a 10minute walk into main area of town, note there is a steep hill to climb though. An adequate breakfast is supplied as well
Matthew
Loved it, John was awesome and had a nice nostalgic feel
Michelle
Great stay all around! Perfectly convenient location to explore the CBD or grab a bus to points further afield. Our room was comfy & clean, with plenty of windows for natural light, but equipped with curtains to have a peaceful rest. The Innkeeper, John, is a pleasure & a delight. He provides lovely hospitality including a very friendly breakfast service, which included such a variety, something for every taste. We will stay here again.
Andrew

Met by host John who was very friendly & helpful. Gave me a map with directions for short 10mins walk to town. Room was tidy, bathroom fresh & clean, bed soft & warm. Good value, handy 10min Uber to airport in morning.

John (the owner) was very hospitable and attentive. We had a really lovely stay - the place is well maintained and breakfast was generous. We'd highly recommend and will stay again the next time we are in Wellington
Vainetukaroa
Quiet,friendly,location,easy access to alot of places,public buses.
Karan
The room itself was nice, comfortable, and cozy. Parking and other amenities were also satisfactory, which we appreciated. However, my overall experience was spoiled by the manager’s behavior. In the 3–4 interactions I had with him, I found his language and tone to be unnecessarily rude. What upset me the most was seeing him shout at my elderly parents during breakfast for no reason.
It was disappointing to notice a clear difference in the politeness and level of service extended to us compared to other guests around. While the facilities were fine, the lack of respect and courtesy from management left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, because of this, we won’t be returning here again.

Great for a short stay
Welcome was great. Very caring. Bed was comfortable and shower great. It’s simple but good for a short stay. My room was to the front and street light made it feel like it never was dark. And could do we a bit better cleaning, specially the fridge.

Ok for one night
The building is old with uneven floors. Found the mattress a bit tired and the pillows very flat. Not sure if we would stay again. Breakfast had a good choice of cereals and toast.

We arrived late andwere welcomed. but the accomodation was modest- packed with furniture and modest in its presentation. It was clean however and no compliants other than the style and presentation.

Feel the love
Accommodation within walking distance to city and lots of eateries. Room and bathroom extremely clean. Would recommend staying here. Lots of special touches. This property feels loved.
Georgia
Lovely stay! Beautiful cosy and cute room.
JANE
Nicely renovated. Nice bathroom, great shower. Not sure about tne host, whether he had a weird sense of humour was just plain rude.
Sierra
Had a lovely stay at Richmond Guest House. Was myself and my 2 other girlfriends (21 year olds from Canada) who shared a 3 person room, rooms are perfect size and having our own bathroom was a huge bonus coming from staying in hostels prior. John and other staff were lovely, John even went out of his way to carry my friends heavy suitcase down to our room for us. Will definitely be booking here again if I find myself back in Wellington!
Richard
Quiet area below Mt Victoria. 10 minute walk to main street of restaurants. Hotellier provides a parking permit for parking at the hotel.
Mary
Very rude host, hotel pleasant
The location is good, around a 20 minute walk to the marina and less to the city centre. Rooms are pleasant & ours was clean.
Breakfast was basic, but fine, choice of cereal and toast. Coffee is instant.
The biggest problem with the guest house, which would stop us staying again, was John the host who was really rude to guests.
We had an early flight into Wellington so I messaged the day before arrival to ask if we could drop our bags off around 10am (not check-in early) so we could walk around Wellington without our suitcases! I got no reply, but we headed there at 10 & were greeted with hostility by John & 'there's a reason have check-in times'! There was no greeting or apology for not having the service available and when I said we'd messaged the day before he ignored me. He did allow us to leave our bags in his office but we did it in such a hurry & we felt almost shooed out that we left things behind we needed for the day!
The following morning at breakfast John was equally rude to guests making everyone feel really uncomfortable. Breakfast is 7-9am & we went at 8am. Unfortunately lots of people made the same choice and there wasn't space for all. John sent some people away & told them to come back in 10 minutes & then went on a rant about everyone having no intelligence & all turning up at the same time! Are his guests meant to be mind readers! He also made comments about some nationalities & was rude to a guest requesting filter coffee!
Very unpleasant experience.

We had a great stay at this B&B and enjoyed meeting John, the owner. The room was exceptionally clean and quiet. The property looked a bit run down from the outside, but the inside is great so don't be put off. We didn't have a car but it was easy to walk to nearby restaurants and down to the ocean. We also walked to Te Papa museum which was amazing. The location is very convenient. There are tons of restaurants within an easy 10 min walk. The room was comfortable and had both a fan & space heater along with tea/coffee and kettle. There was soap provided but no shampoo so you would need to have your own. Would recommend the property.
Seruwaia

John
Atmosphere of a bygone era.
Myra
Not there long enough to take in condition inside/o/side property. Did not use free \"continental br/fast\". Thought toilet outside cistern mould needs removal, bathroom needs either an openable window i.e. the tiny window above main window could be openable (release of steam from shower/basin) or a fan. When I tried to clean it off, coating on cistern seemed to be some kind of plaster/rough paint. A minor point but others might not like seeing it.

Don't judge a book by it's cover
From the outside you may not be impressed, but once inside it's like visiting your quirky old aunt. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet but the overall decor is interesting. The host John is friendly and helpful and a good continental breakfast is included. The location is fantastic, walking distance to all major Wellington attractions. No problems with on street parking, just make sure you get a permit from John to display.
Denise

Ok. I think you get what you pay for.
Mary
We really enjoyed our stay at the Richmond Guest House B&B and interacting with the owner, John. Lovely Art Deco crown molding and porcelain collectibles adorned common spaces. Breakfast offered so many choices of cereal and toppings for the toast! Location is good for walking to the city center which was great because I didn't enjoy driving in Wellington due to the narrow streets. The room had all the appliances needed for our afternoon coffee/tea and a modern private bathroom. Would recommend!
Robert
Comfortable and clean
D
Good location
The location was ideal, not far from restaurants and centre. The breakfast was very good and the host was very amusing. We were able to park outside the accommodation and the host was looking out for us to hand over a parking permit. Please note that when parking in N Zealand you have to park the way of the traffic or you can be fined. There was a traffic warden walking down the street. The accommodation was good, clean and we had everything we needed.
Catherine
We stayed 4 nights in Wellington and the stay at the Richmond was worth it. The room was clean and big enough for a family so for the price it was good value. It included a breakfast hosted by John the owner whose brusqueness may offend some of a more delicate nature but being English, we just found it amusing. The building is Victorian as is most of the properties in the area, but the dining room was like stepping back to the 50's/60's with a period radiogram playing during breakfast whilst eating at old fashioned tables etc. It was interesting. The hotel is situated relatively close to most places and during our stay we found short cuts to get to the centre and to also avoid some of the hills.
Karen
It had permit parking which we got given a permit card for otherwise it would have been very difficult.
Evelyn
We had the big bedroom with 3 single beds, lovely ensuite, tea/coffee making, bar fridge, fan, we didn’t use the rest of the property or had breakfast as we had a big drive the next day, the breakfast room was lovely with a simple breakfast on offer, John is a good host he has a dry sense of humour however we did not have that much contact with him, good location to see the sights and John gave us a parking card to leave on our dash while parking on street. Would stay again.
Howard
It is an old property in a quiet location little away from the center but in walkable distance about 10 minutes to all restaurant and pier side. We parked our car just outside the guest house with the coupon card given by staff. Room is small with all basic material, good for short stay as we caught up early ferry next morning to South Island.
David
A grand place to stay.
John is a great host and gave us a lovely room. The parking permit was especially helpful. Very close to the city centre and its numerous attractions.
Andrew

The option for included parking was a HUGE selling point. The location was good, with a variety of shops and cafes within 10 minutes walk
Carole
Clean and comfortable. Very quiet for a place in the city.
Jeanette
The location is close enough to the Wellington retail area to walk there easily. As a solo woman traveller I felt safer staying here than at an impersonal hotel.
Evan
Nice owners and cozy vibes
The gentleman who runs the B&B is extremely sweet and invested in your having a great time. Breakfast is just cereal and toast, but is nice to have included. Parking is on the street (he gives you a parking pass to put on your dashboard) but there were at least a few spaces available when I was there.
Cliff
Great if you love retro items especially the old radios
Richard
Handy location.
Jos
Our room was huge and tastefully decorated with antique furniture.
There was a Queen bed and 2 King single beds as well as a dining table and couch.
There were 3 of us and we had plenty of space to move around.
The beds were super comfy.
The shower was powerful with added benefit of being supplied with fresh towels every day.
Our room was warm and very quiet.
Their was a huge selection of cereals for breakfast. Our host, John, made fresh toast for each traveller when the entered the dining room.
As well as a TV in our own room, there was a shared lounge in the main building.
We loved our home. It is a great place to stay.

Very pleasant room and clean bathroom . The bed was very comfortable and the room was warm and a good size. It was close to our friends' place and it was not far to get to bus stops and we were happy to walk to and from town as it's pretty close. Thanks John
Nancy
This place is conveniently located within walking distance of the museum area of the wharf and lots of shopping--a great area for tourists in Wellington. The house is older and a little worse for wear, particularly the exterior. Being alone my room looked a little smaller than the picture. The host was friendly with lots of good info. He was available to answer questions during the continental breakfast time in a nice breakfast room. I had everything I needed.
Keith
The location is quite central, but one does need a car to come and go, at least when it is raining. Breakfast has a good selection. No trafic noise. I have never known about this place before but it is well established. Good value for money, will happily use in future.

Affordable lodging in Wellington
Had a pleasant stay here for three nights in Mar 2023. Location is pretty convenient - only two blocks from bus stop served by #2 (main bus line through Wellington), and walkable to CBD or Mt Victoria Park. This B&B is an older building and, like most places we stayed in (or ate at) in NZ was having a hard time getting staff. The proprietor seemed to be doing everything by himself. That said, we had clean towels every day and breakfast (toast, cereal, coffee, tea and juice) was included. Access to laundry facilities was a great bonus for us.

Overnight traveller
I arrived around 8 pm off the Northern explorer train tired. I was greeted by the Manager with a cup of tea and a short orientation. My room was clean and had beautiful antique furniture. Continental breakfast was fantastic with multiple cereal choices, toast and many spreads. Would stay there again.

Very satisfied!
This place has everything I need when I am in Wellington. It is quiet, clean and comfortable, has free wifi, and great service. It is within walking distance to shops and restaurants. I enjoy the continental breakfast and tea and coffee provisions. I keep returning to the Richmond Guest House.

A great 2 night stay
This is a definite home from home stay, the decor is quite dated, but has a homely feel to it. John made me very welcome. My room is due to be updated, however the bed was very comfy and the shower was fine.
The only down side was there was a lot of creaking from above, but to be expected I suppose as the house is old. Good to have breakfast provided. Only about a 10 minute walk to the front. Would definitely return.

A great location for central Wellington, a 20 minute walk away, and Basin Reserve. John was a very hospitable host who made us most welcome.
