Made notes on my booking no notice took by hotel. On check in no info re how to use card or facilities or where lifts were, no baggage help, Just told no parking and given a piece of paper to walk 500 m to nearest car park. Women on my own at 7pm in the dark in a strange city for me. No usb charges in any rooms. Checked in to room and the air con had a very noisy vibration and humming. Rang reception they sent a guy up said he’s fixed then happened again all he did was turn it down. Had to ring to get myself moved to another room. After a 9 hour drive not what I expected and a 4 hour ferry. Then moved to a room with no bath, 3 little pots of milk, no free biscuits, freezing as beds just have a few flimsy sheets and white blanket and couldn’t put air con on as new room still noisy. Shabby room. Shower was good the only positive. Not very attentive staff. I had no battery charger the staff offered to charge my phone on reception. Who is going to leave there phone at reception to charge at 8pm at night. Checked out never asked how my stay was as I was ready to tell them poor. I feel a refund is in order. I would not stay here again. All you want is to be comfortable. There were no extra blankets in the wardrobe either. No pen or paper in the room either .

Short staffed , valet parking was slow , Very disappointing

Stay was good. Always enjoy Rydges Wellington. There were a couple of minor glitches, TV not loading, and coffee missed on room service, but these were quickly attended to, and staff quick to apologise for any inconvenience - there hadn’t been.

Easy to get to from the Stadium, parking wasn't available and was instructed to park towards the stadium (at least 10 minute walk away) instead of the carpark building 2 mins walk on Stout street? Good service in restaurant for breakfast except from the Matradee that didn't seem to have time to be nice. Overall was a good place to stay and we would go back again, despite the little things with parking and restaurant staff.

We had a comfortable stay in Rydges Wellington. Do not stay here if you're driving though. Especially, if you have a big car (ute/van). They don't have enough parking for big cars and there are no covered parking nearby. That's what let me down. The staff also didn't seem helpful about it. But other than that, they were ok. Rydges Welly is along Pipitea. It would be good if you're going to the stadiums and wanna check out the beehive. It is 20-30 minutes walk from Te Aro though - where the cool cafes and young person vibes are.
