"Beautiful hotel, lovely buffet, attentive staff, and the restaurant makes an amazing flat white. Easy walk to botanical gardens and great restaurants. "
"Great check in, we'd arrived in Wgtn early so were able to drop our bags off which was appreciated. Early check in confirmed by phone call so we could relax before the All Blacks game. Nice clean room, quiet and comfy bed. Thanks 😊"

James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor
10/10 Excellent
"Only stayed one night, but hotel was clean and tidy, conveniently located and within walking distance for Sky stadium. Staff were all friendly and efficient too. "
"Cant beat the convenience here. The rooms are small, but the location is ideal for getting around Wellington city. Great spot for a short stay and amazing view from the top floor."
"This was a great hotel for our long weekend in Wellington. Everything was walking distance away and the bus from the airport stopped right outside. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Lots of restaurants and shopping in the area. The room was modern, clean and as described. Would stay here again!"
"Nice room, very comfortable bed. 11am checkout on a Sunday is good.
Breakfast is a good selection of hot and cold items. Easy to get to central streets "
"Spacious studio, with a very comfy bed, well stocked kitchenette and a good shower. Great central location that is perfect for a visit to the central city. Airport Express stops very close by for a quick easy ride. Sound wise… never heard a thing despite being in the thick of it all…. Perfect visit!"
