I wasn't sure what to expect, but the Amora has one of the nicest rooms I have stayed at in the last year or 2 and I have traveled to about 10 different hotels on business during this time. The lobby is modern and check in was super quick and easy. I was a little doubtful when I saw the... More

We stayed only for a single night but the rooms are nicely furnished and reasonably spacious. The breakfast (included) was good. The only slight problem was a power malfunction when we arrived but that was fixed relatively quickly. The room was quiet, the view over Wellington Harbour excellent and the hotel is centrally located close to Te Papa, the Michael... More

We love to take long week-ends in Wellington - this hotel is the perfect venue for some R & R. If possible get a club apartment it is worth the little bit extra and provides you with stunning views of the harbour and access to the Club Lounge. In the evenings enjoy a glass of wine and a selection of... More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Amora Hotel recently. The room was very comfortable and clean. I couldn't fault it, and on that basis, I would love to stay there again. However, when I was checking in, I was confused when I was told I had booked two rooms, and that one was still to be paid for(I... More

I have to be honest. The Amora wasn't my first choice, mainly on account of some Tripadvisor reviews. But I call it as I see it and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Let's start with the basics. The king size bed was extremely comfortable with it's cris linen and feather pillows. Partner transfer was minimal. This gets... More

Our room on the 6th floor was very comfortable, with fantastic views over the harbour. And the bathroom was great, very clean with both a bath and a shower. The shower had great pressure and temperature, and my husband was grateful to soak in the bath after a particularly chilly Wellington day. The hotel is handy to everything we wanted... More

We stayed just the one night in an ensuite king room on the 5th floor. The hotel benefits from a good location with a good view across the water. The room was as one would expect - sizeable, clean, modern and in good decorative order. The ensuite bath/shower room was perfectly good but a little tired having been recently cleaned... More

My husband took me to this hotel about a year ago on my birthday but it wasn't called Amora then. Our stay was fantastic. We had a great view of the water from our room and were able to walk to the places we wanted to go to. We were also given free tickets to the pictures and a glass... More

Check in was smooth and we were very pleased to be offered free parking when we queried the price. We stayed in a Club Room on the 9th floor which was very spacious and well appointed. The views are magnificent and we spent quite a lot of time just looking out over the beautiful harbour. There was a bath as... More

Unit was modern, spacious and nicely furnished. Had a good view across Wellington Harbour and could see the Inter-Island ferries come and go. The restaurant was right up with the very best I have dined in. Service was great and overall I felt it was well worth the price paid.
