Top Newtown Hotel Reviews

Sojourn Apartment Hotel - Riddiford

8/10 Good

"It was a great room, helpful staff. The parking was a bit complicated given we were new to the city and accessing it during rush hour. Also given it was across from the hospital and our room faced that street we did have some air ambulance noise at night"

Quest 256 Lambton

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a gem in the heart of Wellington city. The staff are outstanding, friendly, welcoming & very accommodating for our needs. The rooms are clean & spacious, offer excellent kitchen facilities, & comfortable beds. We have stayed here several times & it will always be our go-to hotel for a few days in Wellington. Very reasonable priced. Highly recommend."

Adina CityLife Wellington

8/10 Good

"Excellent location. Beds and pillows great. Bathrooms good. Spacious for 3 bed apt. Staff nice. Downsides very pricey for not having the room serviced over the day ( we were there 2 nights), having the pressure washer on the bedroom window's at 8.30 in the morning was loud and unexpected, the apartment was up a flight of stairs ( no lift access) which would have been good to know in the listing. It really is the location that makes it a good place to stay."
