Gourmet Stay is in the heart of Wellington, close to everything. The rooms are clean, warm and comfy. There's a great little cafe downstairs with lovely home-made food. The owners are welcoming and helpful.

I just returned from a long weekend in Wellington with my husband to celebrate my birthday. We chose Gourmet Stay because of its positive reviews and location, and the niftyness of being on top of a cafe (a huge plus in my husband's eyes). The beds are comfortable, even the smaller room is plenty big enough, the decor is modern... More

I really enjoyed my five day stay in this great little boutique hotel. The rooms are nice and warm and very comfortable. The location is good, a short walk from Cuba street, plenty of great bars and food spots nearby and a fabulous speciality food store ( Moore Wilsons) around the corner. And the little cafe ( Frederick st cafe)... More

Hidden away on a side alley, this is a quiet spot, but it's minutes (on foot) from Cuba street and Courtney Place. The bed and large and comfortable and the room, though basic, had everything we could need. We stayed in a room with a (private) bathroom across the hall; a bit awkward after showering but not that big a... More

I stayed at Gourmet Stay for a few days' holiday. Overall it was a good stay but it's a bit different. The staff were friendly and unobtrusive, and the cafe downstairs was excellent (have the mushrooms, they're divine). My room was on the small side (think London dimensions) and would have been cramped for two people, plus it was almost... More

We were booked into Gourmet Stay by the couple whose wedding we were attending that weekend. They booked a group of friends and family from round NZ and Australia into this hotel so we could all be in one place. We found the hotel was noisey (you could hear doors baning, toilets flushing, people in the next rooms talking). It... More

Great hotel in a great city, and "gourmet" indeed - full of restaurant recommendations and within a short walking distance of plenty of Wellington's best coffee and food places. Fantastic location, we walked pretty much everywhere. Central yet very quiet at night. We loved this hotel so much that we stayed there twice - once on our way to the... More
