Bolton Hotel Review

I stayed here for a four nights. It was quiet, you couldn't even hear the neighbouring doors closing! The sevice was amazing and I would recommend this place for business or leisure.

Thanks everyone at the Bolton for making my stay so welcoming and warm.

One of the best hotels I ever visited! Good breakfast, really nice bathroom, very comfortable bed. Had a small kitchen, refridgerator and washingmachine in the room.
Gym a bit small but ok for me. Free access to spa pool and sauna, have i nice swimmingpool also.

Hotel is ok, but not wow. Nice staff and fantastic (but expensive) food/restaurant.

The rooms were alright but the breakfast buffet was a joke. Plunger coffee, cheap white toast, a spongy bread that just came out of the freezer, one single plate with few selections of cheese and ham... Guys, I had way better breakfast at 2 or 3 star hotels.

Still a favourite to stay in Wellington. The iPad in-house menus still confuse me a bit and the slightly disorganised bar/restaurant could really be improved but overall you offer excellent attentive service and a great inner-city hotel vibe. Well trained and friendly staff.

We had a premier suite which had been recently renovated. Very comfortable. The last time I was here in April 17, we were lucky to reserve the Residence suite . That is an experience from another world.

The Bolton now faces competition from the new Sofitel across the road but I m sure, if it keeps it s charm, it will be around for years to come. 5 stars again!

Expensive but very good service. A lot of politicians seem to stay here as it is close to parliament.

We have stayed twice and had great service both times. Modern and comfortable rooms with excellent facilities that make this a top quality hotel.

Nice enough and really friendly staff but not a 5 star hotel. Rooms are dated but large and comfortable.

Rather expensive for a standard hotel. Night s sleep interrupted by dripping toilet and old air-conditioning system that was in-intuitive to turn off.

Room was great and staff very helpful and friendly..only let down was breakfast..

Staff were so friendly with personality plus. Beautiful room with a great view.

This place is so amazing.

This is my 2nd review.

I was checking out the chocolate dome in the Cafe when I arrived..
We went past on our way out and I noticed the dome was gone.

The staff overheard me, and I arrived back to my room with a chocolate dome on my counter with sweet note.

Almost made me cry. So wonderful

Spacious rooms, extremely friendly staff, don't charge for WiFi.

My favoutite Wellington hotel. Fabulous service at all hours. Beautifully appointed rooms. Great views. Quiet and restful. Centrally located. Food and restaurant - awesome.

Great to be greeted, by such lovely staff, great customer service!!! The room is lovely, home away from home..

Superb place to stay. Staff are friendly, enthusiastic and helpful.

I was very happy with the friendly welcoming service. Easy checkin and out. Parking for the car. It was great and location made it so easy to access the city without worrying about where to park the car.

Great place for a quick business meeting as the ladies at the coffee bar are very quick and everything I've tried is delicious.

First impressions: very poor. But extremely poor for being one of the highest rated hotels in Wellington.

The room is musty. 14 years old with several renovations, it's showing the wear and tear with no ability to get any type of fresh air anywhere above the lobby. I would guess that luck has a lot of play in whether or not you get a mouldy room.

Furthermore, in my first hour here I attempted to get a glass of wine at the bar in the lobby but it wasn't being staffed today for some reason (during summer tourist season on a Sunday night). The front desk was nice enough to get a glass for me in my confusion. A few hours later I came down for a second and the front desk told me to go to the restaurant for the next glass, so I went one floor upstairs and sat in an area that was completely void of people, and seemingly created for a naughty children who should be sat away from adults.

The server couldn't see me and so didn't come for a long while; I finally had to get back up and ask for the glass of wine at the restaurant maitre d' in front of all the diners.

Awkward for a nice hotel who claims to have a bar.

Great one night stay and wonderful dinner at Artisan restaurant.

Really close if you are going to an event at the stadium. Large clean rooms but could do with a little maintenance (shower head was cracked and water sprayed across the room) we were on level 6 on motorway side of hotel and it was still very quiet. This was our second stay here and would definitely use again.

Lovely hotel with everything you need including kitchen and living area.

Very relaxing. Room had own kitchen, and washing machine. All you need.Very quiet.
Buffet breakfast couldn't fault.
Purchase a package . This include breakfast and dinner. Well worth it.
Staff wonderful.

Just excellent in every respect. The staff always friendly and helpful and the rooms/ Hotel are
first class. In all respects

Sleek hotel with attentive service near the waterfront and shopping distict.

We stayed for the weekend in June and it was worth the time away from home. It was amazing. Staff were wonderful and they park your car for you. Pity we dont tip in NZ

Was in Wellington for a 3 days visit and had lunch there on a grab one voucher. It was the best meal throughout my stay - ambience, service and food were fitting of a 5 stars hotel. Sooooo good that I returned for lunch on my last day. Thumbs up to the 2 staff for their very attentive and service with a smile, especially on 2nd Jan.

Great front desk staff. Rooms excellent. Onsite parking $30 per night. Breakfast has variety, go early to get fresh and hot.

Had lunch at the Bolton. Very good and well priced. Impeccable service.

Loved every minute of my stay. The classic one bedroom suite is definitely worth the price. Comes with a lovely sized bath tub where you can just soak all your worries away.

I love staying here on my trips to Wellington because of their wonderful staff, comfortable amenities, and convenient location. Their dining is excellent and prices are comparable with other establishments. I really like their staff and have always been more than helpful with directions and coordination of transportation. They are tucked conveniently out of the heavy traffic but always an easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants.

Rooms are well appointed and comfortable, and staff are always friendly

High tea was great loved the variety and the great selections of tea. service was great. Staff very friendly. definitely visit again.

Awesome service
Super friendly and helpful staff, even gave us a complimentary bottle of bubbles to celebrate our anniversary
Highly recommended

I staid here with my family, in a spacious 2 room suite. Well laid out and equiped, quiet (no loud fans, fridges) and comfortable seats and beds. Great views too.
The room was clean apart from some dust higher up. Five stars so far.

I d avoid the restaurant for breakfast. Service was slow, my full breakfast was disappointing (boiled eggs on soup spoons look great but turn out really impractical). No butter, no napkins, dirty cutlery and toasted muesli that seemed to have come straight out of the carton and was served with a minimal amount of yoghurt made me just want to leave again.

The breakfast is definitely no match for the rest of the experience. One star taken off..

Don't really know what the hype is about. I'd rather stay at Quest on Thorndon.

Great service, modern new rooms with great facilities. Appreciated as I travel often for work.

Great food and great service. I'll definitely be returning to eat here again.

Dropped in for a coffee. Really chill place, good coffee and not loud, could actually hold a conversation

I love the fabulous customer service here, it's really makes a difference

Great place to stay with fantastic staff..stayed 699 nights!

Very good location for tourists visiting Wellington.

The staff here are extremely professional and friendly. The chief concierge is the current Concierge of the Year!

Great staff. Went for a conference. Weird teas and lunch was terrible. Did not stay in rooms

Fantastic hotel for our brief stay in Wellington. Had a 2 bedroom suite for my family of 4 for the same price as a tiny standard hotel room in New York! Loved having a washer in our room. Shower was great and there's a nice selection of toiletries. Helpful staff gave recommendations for the area.

Gym is small but has what you need. Pool is a little chilly but the kids still had fun (it's meant for lap swimming I think) and the hot tub was nice too.

Comfortable, upscale boutique hotel in downtown Wellington. Stayed here 8 yes ago - loved it - had to stay here again on my return visit! Wonderful, friendly, efficient staff members make you feel welcome with their first "Hello!" Excellent rooms - mini-apartments, actually - quiet, well- appointed, slept like a baby! Pricier than some other hotels in the area but how much is your comfort worth if you're staying someplace more than 2 nights?! The Bolton is TOP SHELF!!

Awesome Hotel close the Wellington town heaps of shops good Staff

Absolutely outstanding service. I've stayed in some of the best hotels around the world and honestly the little old Bolton just blew me away for it's attention to detail when looking after us. My wife mentioned to me "just randomly that she liked the look of some chocolate things in the cafe downstairs and we got to our room and one of the staff had overheard her, got it sent to our room with a card saying we thought you might like this. And that's just one of the impressive little things. Amazing. Highly recommend staying here.

Hotel has all the amenities you need and more with a pool and fitness center. Great location also. Parking could be a bit of trouble with bigger cars however

Great big room, very comfy bed and friendly very agreeable staff. Didn't eat there this time but always good.

We stayed in a large studio type apartment with 2 double beds a large adjoining bathroom, a well equipped kitchen including washing machine and dish washer, stove and oven, a medium sized 4 seat dining table and a small but adequate TV cum lounge area. The bedroom also featured a TV. In a nut shell the apartment was the best value we have had in all our considerable travels with an excellent location, super attentive and helpful staff. Very highly recommended for a short or long term stay.

Well located chic hotel with well equiped room facilities. Watchout for park view though, it's a memorial park not a play park

Great customer service and a fantastic room. Would definitely recommend.

One of my favourite places to stay in wellington, great boutique hotel

We had a lovely stay at the Bolton Hotel from February 27, 2019 to March 1, 2019. Terrific location. The rooms were comfortable and complete with a cozy robe and a mini bar to make a hot toddy before heading off to sleep (we found this to be a great help with jet lag). My flat iron fried in our power converter (which was odd because our phones charged without a problem) and the concierge located one for my use during our stay...top notch! We would definitely stay here again if we are ever fortunate enough to return to beautiful Wellington.

Large room w/ kitchenette & laundry, separate bedroom, large bathroom.

Great hotel.room standards are high.the staff are the star here.friendly helpful and well informed.loved my stay

Excellent hotel, fantastic staff, having a kitchenette was awesome and it had a teapot! Clean, spacious room, wonderful views.

Always such a treat to stay here, everything is just fabulous.

Extremely helpful staff, rooms are great. A little off the beaten track though

The staff was friendly & helpful. Always smiling.
Room was clean & comfortable. The breakfast staff never let my cup get dry. Great location. Walking distance to everthing. Looking forward to my next stay.

All round great hotel, large rooms, comfy beds, great service.

Great place, so British. Really the kind of hotel you can imagine when you're small in cartoons: staff in uniform, rococo rooms, corridors with soft carpets, reception in classic style. All with a touch of elegance and a very interesting location in the capital.
