What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable & Cozy

During my stay, I was pleasantly surprised by the room features, particularly the en suite bathroom. Having my own private facilities made my visit much more comfortable, especially compared to other budget hotels where bathrooms are often shared. The room was compact, yet it had everything I needed for a pleasant stay.

Enjoyable Entertainment

I appreciated the media amenities in my room. The TV, while smaller than one might find in a luxury hotel, offered a range of channels. I found it perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Wellington. It added a nice touch to my stay, allowing me to catch up on my favorite shows.

Functional and Private

The bathroom featured in my room was convenient and functional, equipped with necessary amenities. It was great to have a self-contained space, as many budget accommodations in the area don’t offer this. This aspect truly enhanced my experience at Halswell Lodge.

Decent Parking Facilities

I found the guest parking facilities very accommodating. Being able to park close to the lodge added a layer of convenience to my stay. Despite the area being busy, I was able to secure a spot without hassle, which made my trip to Wellington much more relaxing.

The hotel provided a spotlessly clean room with everything needed for a good night's sleep, serving our purposes well. However, the room itself was sparse, badly lit, and lacked natural light due to its proximity to another building.

The staff were very polite, with one exception where they weren't able to assist promptly with vehicles causing us to be late for meetings. One staff member went out of her way to provide helpful maps and directions.

Location

The hotel's location was good, being close to the city center with many nearby restaurants. However, the area seemed a bit tired and wasn't the best value for money.

Dining

The dining delivery time was inconvenient for us, and breakfast service on the second day was late. While not included in the room rate, dining options were available in the CBD.

Facilities

The hotel facilities were functional, though some improvement could be made, especially with the work by tradesmen. Basic amenities were provided.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were quite nice considering the price we paid, centrally located, clean, and the staff was helpful. However, there was a slight unpleasant smell like something rotting in the room, and the actual size was smaller than what the pictures portrayed.

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, especially in sorting out any issues. While they were generally helpful, they may not have been overly friendly, except for one particularly nice woman during check-out.

Location

8.0

The location was great, situated at the top end of Courtenay Place in Wellington. It was close to excellent restaurants and the main arthouse cinema palace. However, there were some moldy walls in certain parts and selecting a room carefully is advisable.

The dining service could have been improved. Breakfast was delivered late for my preference, and for the price paid, it would have been better if it was included.

The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay, but it would have been even better if some areas were better maintained.

The hotel offers a great location within walking distance to key attractions and downtown. The rooms were overall good but showed signs of wear and could use some improvement. The service was a mix of courteous and unprofessional. The dining experience had some issues with timing. The facilities were decent but not outstanding.
