This was an excellent and cheaper alternative to staying at Base Hostel. It was very quiet and dark for sleeping. The older style building gave it a more serious tone and attracted a composed backpacking crowd. Kitchen was clean and had necessary utensils. Eating area was a bit cramped because it doubled as a lounge but it was nice to... More

I found the Cambridge hotel a great place to stay, it was convenient to all of Wellingtons major attractions like Courtney place and te papa, the backpackers was comfortable and the hotel has great history

stayed two days in a 4-bed-dorm, room 408. the room: + clean + good temperature, not two warm + door entry via card, but - very loud to close from the outside --> loud at night - very dark, windows in 3m height, facing the house wall of the next building - only two electrical inlets - not even a...

Older property with small roooms. Excellent Sony tv and channel selection. Kitchen was very useful. Noisy at times but great value...suits single travellers...clean...restaurant and bar were good with fair prices. Staff very friendly. Cheap laundry. Internet was sporadic.

Only thing, doors are heavy, good soundproof but make a loud noise if carelessly closed. But that happens when you're in a dorm. The showers... More

Great hotel, good location, comfortable, nice bar and great staff. Had a lovely room on the first floor of this historic building and was most impressed by the facilities (think 1940s film noir!). Check in and check out were fast and efficient and hotel was quiet and had comfortable large bed. THe only thing that would have been nice were... More

I had to stay in Wellington unexpectedly late last year. The front desk woman was helpful when I rang with my "I will be there in half an hour" request. I had a single room (double bed) with a cosy little bathroom. The room was very quiet inspite of being very close to Wellingtons nightlife strip. The hotel must have... More

Yes it is a lovely old building with possibly the oldest lift you will ever see in your lifetime and the staff were fairly typical Kiwis - helpful and polite and yes you can get eggs on toast for $3. However, for my money, I don't expect: A bin that needs emptying from the previous guests A main light with... More
