Location is easily accessible, facilities well presented and of very good quality, rooms are spacious and well laid out, service is outstanding yet unobtrusive, additional style touches in the bedrooms offer a little more luxury experience - good quality linen and throws on the very comfortable bed provide understated style. Breakfast choices were comprehensive and served quickly and was of... More

We had a classic suite at the Bolton Hotel over a long weekend. It's a lovely hotel and very comfortable. The suite is very well stocked with kitchen equipment - ice already made in the freezer was a nice touch. Very comfy bed and helpful staff. The car stacker is fascinating! We didn't eat at the hotel or order room... More

We were looking forward to our stay at The Bolton Hotel because we had heard many good reports. Unfortunately The Bolton fell short of our expectations and we felt it was very average for a 5 star hotel. The staff were friendly and engaging, and the room was pleasant with a rather extensive mini bar with something for every eventuality... More

We stayed here for the second time and this time our experience was quite different to the first. The room was fine, the staff were....mechanical, the restaurant was appalling - the food, the "new" decor and the service left a lot to be desired - having only young inexperienced staff in a restaurant charging the prices they do is unacceptable....

I am have been travelling to Wellington on business for nearly 18 years and have been staying at the Bolton nearly weekly since 2008 with only short breaks between contracts. There is a reason for that. The rooms are spacious, with great facilities for the business traveller and always well presented. However, it is not that that keeps me coming... More

Stayed at this hotel last weekend and we were not impressed at all. The room was clean but in need of a freshen-up,paint wise. Found the front desk staff were on "automation",no warmth, just doing their job. The conceierge was the only bright spark,helpful and friendly. On Sunday we went down to breakfast and 3/4 of an hour later my... More

Room was pleasant for a five star place but no more, quite functional. Breakfast was very average, food served tepid, service a bit all over the place. really OK place but... More
