Everyone was friendly, check in and out was great. Only gripe I could come up with would be that I wish parking were closer and not around the block and 6 floors up but downtown parking is what is is in every town ☺. I really like this hotel, the design, the history, the bathrooms are great and rooms are very pleasing, large. Would recommend for sure.

The Wellesley is a modest but charming older hotel. The rooms and bathrooms are big and even more important quiet. Jess at the front desk is sweet and welcoming. Don’t expect frills, but a good night’s sleep and convenience to the wharf, shopping and Sky Stadium are a real plus.

A bit of history

What a delight to see someone maintaining this architectural treasure. Location was so convenient to the train station and Wellington downtown. And the staff was great. It was a short visit but will definitely consider it for a future trip.

Great bones but needs a refresh

This hotel is lovely old building, it has amazing high ceilings and the bathroom/ bath was nice. The place could do with a little modernizations- perhaps some colour or new duvet covers etc as it’s a little plain as far as furnishings in the rooms. It could also do with a deeper clean.
