Though this accommodation was convenient to everything it is in a desperate need of refurbishment. The lobby smelled of boiled cabbage. Also, the place is quite noisy from the street noise below. Double windows with decent curtains may help to reduce the noise level.

Excellent location for walking to all the shops, te Papa, waterfront and bus stops at front door. However a lot of homeless now frequent the area (not property fault but Wellington council etc) and they sleep on the streets below. A lot of fights & arguments so not the Wellington central we used to know… property did not have a balcony as we thought we’d booked that specifically. No good sleeping 5 as sofa bed is not good enough for an adult very uncomfortable & not enough suitable bedding to be warm. No extra bedding provided. Was very clean just getting too old really. And price reflects this I guess. Easy check in etc.

Very central location but the apartment itself was very shabby. The banister of the stairs was broken. The fridge was switched off when we got there so there was a drawer full of water in the freezer and the milk they left was unsafe. There was an empty hand soap dispenser in the bathroom. It is a noisy area at night and you could hear everything happening outside from the front bedroom. One of the tv remotes was missing. The couch was close to falling apart. I would say this apartment would be fine for people in the city to party but definitely not for a family.

I have never ever had the displeasure of staying in a more dirty, falling apart, noisy, malodorous apartment in my life. From mound in the kitchen bin, flies on the window sills, dirty shower and 2 small Kmart fans to cool a 30 degree day with no air conditioning on site! We could not dispose of rubbish as codes did not work. The lift smelt like urine and toilet spray. Booked 4 nights and only stayed one. These people would not answer the phone when I called and txt back that they were busy. I booked another hotel. They refused to refund any of our money at all. Took the shine off our holiday. So, so disappointed. This place needs us be taken off the internet for accommodation until it is clearly up to scratch. DO NOT BOOK.

Great location, however poorly cleaned, there were dirty marks on the bed quilt in appt 4, there was someone elses food in the freezer, the windows were extremely dirty and the heaters were inadequate. Shower leaked, some light bulbs were not working and the toilet flush did not work well.

Good spacious apartment that worked well for our group of 3. Lovely old Art Deco building, loved the features though it could do with an upgrade. Good location and was ideal for our short stay for WOW.

Ask to not be given room 8! There's a foot round metal ducting/pipe running alongside the apartment right outside the bedroom window that made a terrible noise the whole night - nobody got any sleep. The sills in the kitchen were covered in mould. It was really nicely decorated, but the apartment itself is in need of maintenance - carpet is shot, lip from the carpet to tiles isn't good, skirting and finishing in bathroom is rough. The location is totally brilliant, it's just a shame we got no sleep.

This property is Clearly way over rated and does not match photos and descriptions. I feel ripped off and will never stay here again and will make sure people I know stay away. Our family own over 300 apartments in Sydney and these are a disgrace and would never get on our books. And no air conditioning

Hi Les I am very sorry to read of your experience and I do apologise again that we were unable to cancel your reservation the week prior due to it being a non refundable booking. Regrettably we have been unable to delight you during your stay and thank you for taking the time to let us know of the issues faced. The Apartment is a very popular one and we plan to take the opportunity to address some areas of attention in the coming months. Once again we thank you for taking the time to tell us of your experience.
