Rydges Wellington Airport
Didn't have breakfast, so no comment. The major restaurant was closed, but the Peltonen had a simple menu and their food was excellent. Well done to who ever is in charge of Food & Beverage there

Great location. Very nice staff. Clean rooms. Only drawback was lack of space to put clothing and suitcases for a lengthy stay.

Everything was excellent! The room and other facilities were sparkling clean, the parking was easy and convenient, and the breakfast was good. I had a very comfortable stay and would definitely stay here again!

Oaks Wellington Hotel
The room we had was of generous proportions and we were on 8th floor with a view out to the harbour. If could fault it was because the bathroom didn't have any hooks to hang things on and it didn't seem to have an exhaust system for when the shower was running.
