We stayed here a few months ago, love it. The breakfast is divine! The rooms are pretty comfy and the location can't be beat. It's so close to everything there is to see in Wellington. Will definitely stay here again when I 'm back in the area.
Rydges is a fantastic place to stay. I usually stay there once a week for business. The staff are highly trained and deliver first class service. The rooms are always immaculate. The food is a very high quality.
I would highly recommned Rydges Wellington for anyone looking for something special.
It was nice we had a great time,awesome customer service
Such a clean room. The beds are comfy enough to crash to after a long and tiring day. Plus the shower is great. Big space for a room
Was our anniversary lovely room with a bathtub.
Bed are sooo comfortable and relaxing.
Ordered room service..took a while to answer but guy was friendly despite them being bizzy...i ordered the fish and chips and hubby ordered the Cheeseburger...both tasted great except the chips were cold left them a note on the trays and they rung our room and offered us free desserts which was so nice.
Buffet breakfast was amazzing always a must to stay and get the breakfast deal. I Always ask for the poached eggs so good...cant stay anywhere else
Booked 10 days before. Confirmed 2 rooms side by side. Arrived not the case reception not at all helpful until i asked to speak with duty manager. I wont stay there again staff don't smile except the cleaners. Lovely overworked ladies. 2 nights 2 rooms overpriced. Sat in lounge to watch rugby along with others and a drink. No volume because not all patrons like rugby....
Had a great time. Would've given five stars had the Sauna been working, kind of had my mind set on the Sauna. Had an awesome time anyway and the buffet breakfast was fantastic
Beautiful and comfortable hotel. Bar and beverages are amazing. Staff are helpful. Pity a bit slack on the gym part.
Modern hotel close to the waterfront. A great place for a romantic overnighter or to get ready with the girls on your wedding day. David - Von Photography - Wellington wedding photographer
Nice hotel, inexperienced staff which shows dramatically in service. Gym a waste of space. Pool looked good though.
Close to stadium and train station so great location if going to a game. Good size room well presented.
Enjoyed the central location, the facilities and breakfast. The bed was super comfortable and the view over the Beehive was fantastic. We will be back again.
Very nice place to stay, easy walking to train station and Bluebridge ferry and stadium. Fantastic cooked breakfast. The only downside was having the shower over the bath.
Great hotel, love the relaxed vibe and awesome breakfast buffet. Beds are super comfortable too...and some great views over the harbour
A nice enough hotel with an average buffet breakfast and good location. However, the hotel carpark was full and the staff weren t knowledgeable on the prices of the nearest carpark so we had to waste time sorting it - they did tell us that we could park on the street for free at night but we then had to wake up at 7:45am to go down and pay for a day ticket. They also didn t provide a plug for the bath tub and we had to call and wait for them to bring one up which was a bit strange.
Rude, inefficient staff. Disgusting lack of service. Never stay here. Huge rip off. Yukky food. Uncomfortable bed. Room needs to be cleaned and serviced. High price for zero service.
No parking at hotel had to park on corner not happy about that meal at night was not good complained to staff member to much salt on meal she appoligised but no offer of replacement meals so we will not recommend you hotel on a good note the breakfeast was really good
Great place to stay for a conference. My room was great, very spacious and the bed was comfortable
Lovely room. Great restaurant. Good leisure centre incl pool and spa
Good accommodation and location. Buffet breakfast a nightmare. Food not topped up, no coffee mugs etc.
The best hotel ever. Very friendly staff. I had to book a room for 2 nights at short notice which was hassle free. Then to my surprise they upgrade me to executive suite free of charge with a fantastic view of Wellington City on the 16th floor!!!
Very nice hotel for conferences and staying but is very expensive.
Loving it. Great staff. Nice clean room. Awesome view
This place is a filthy, overpriced hole. The lack cleanliness both in the room and in the common areas is the worst I ve experienced. It really looks as though no one cleans anything aside from changing the sheets, we hope. Never again would I stay here. Am actually going to tell people to avoid it, as it must be a health issue.
Clean and tidy room, efficient check in and out, and a great restaurant. No complaints at all. Great spot for a weekend in Wellington.
Great hotel restaurant! One of the best hamburgers ive had
This was my second stay here and was just as great as expected thank you
Friendly staff. Beautiful food. The bed was was comfortable. And it was clean. Loved every minute.
Awesome stay so far really nice rooms! Checking in was easy yesterday thanks to Sam I think his name was who helped me find prime parking and how to get to it
Bit dated in some corners but no real complaints at all. Would stay again without a doubt.
Friendly human concierge. Relaxed Dining atmosphere.
Nice staff, good bar, central location...very nice!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Rydges. The room was clean and welcoming and the bed was perhaps the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. The hotel let s itself down with little things like check in/out times and cleaning in the bathroom but overall we enjoyed our stay and would return.
Great facilities, stylish decor and an excellent breakfast buffet. Highly recommend and look forward to staying again.
Our stay was good to say the least. We had already booked & paid for our accommodation on line so upon checking in we were then stung with a $150 bond that we weren't expecting or told about. Our room was decent, however, we were there for 5 nights and not once was our linen changed during our stay. There was a daily room service but again our toilet paper was not restocked and we ended up having to ring reception. There was a long strand of hair in the fridge so cleanliness was not top priority. Also in the information book in the room clearly states that each room has a mini bar but not ours. On the upside the Valet was great always had our rental car waiting out front on time everyday. The Restaurant & Bar facilities were amazing. The food was delicious and the location was handy & close to everything. Within walking distance.
We would be happy to stay there again.
Nice 4 star hotel, only complaint is excess road noise and dodgy AC units in every room
Love it nice and clean nice people would 100% stay here again thank u best 4 day we had
Excellent free WiFi (getting 30Mbs up and down while sitting in conference with around 60 others) for corporate events.
Nice bar at ground level for meeting clients.
friendly attentive staff who go out of their way to welcome you and make you feel at home.
Great service, friendly staff. Room was warm and comfortable.
Staff were awesome, my daughter and I had a blast, however I booked a month in advance, called even days before, and turned up at 930am to ensure a car park as last year my car got broken into at Wilson carparking, no one called me to offer me a car park, I feel this could be improved on. Other than that, a very cool place to stay.
Good feel
Good food. Drinks expensive within
Booked 7 months in advance but they gave car parking places to cricket fans.
Amazing breakfast but the 10% credit card fee when paying for our room really sours up what could have been a perfect stay. Disappointing. For reference all other hotels are around 1-3%.
Nice spacious room, good service from staff with good local knowledge
So exited and happy many thanks to all Rydges staff.
Great venue and beautiful rooms, superb service from the team
The rooms at the Rydges are spacious and well appointed. Facilities were clean, tidy and catering excellent.
Still in need of repairs from November earthquake.
Room given has no view, nothing. Car park need $30 a night, that's evening robbery given you are staying there. Need a carpark search for 2 nights. Then money needed to pay after 8am. Very very inconvenient. They did mention something like great Breakfast, and it's not, very limited choice of food and taste just normal not great. But overall services received from the staffs was quite pleasant.
Great staff very friendly and always happy to help.
Poor customer service from the main reception seat to the bar to the restaurant.
Fealt like we were spoken down to and FYI you are not better than the people who are paying for your service! So you shouldn t talk to them like that
We selected parking and laundry was a necessity when booking but found upon check in that they were available but at a hefty levy!
But we did actually find after studying the web page there was a small not of costs for parking.
We arrived at the restaurant to be told we needed to book if we wanted to eat there, which was confusing since there was not a person in the restaurant,
So we requested a booking and he advised he could squeeze us in and put us in the back corner,
We requested sitting near the window but were told we couldn t, even though we were still the only people in there.
The common beer I ordered wasn t available
My wife s drink was incorrect
The only meal I wanted, I was told was not able to be done but they could do a different one and asked if that was ok? I had to ask what the different option was
Our meals were just slapped on the table without even asking who was having what
The sky tv only has the basic channels!
We stay away a fair bit and this is the 5th place we have stayed on this trip alone, and this is the more expensive of the places and left us the least satisfied, the list goes on but I feel you get the idea
Just a little side note, I read a review that the building next door was still working and making noise until 8pm and the response was there contract states a 6pm work finish, yet we have just turned our in room climate control off as it s so noisey we can t get our son to sleep and now all we can hear is grinders at the construction site next door. It is currently 7:10pm
This is a higher end, cost wise hotel but lacking in detail. The good: great location, great indoor pool, spa and sauna facilities especially in winter.
The improvement:
1. I was in a room with a small kitchen. There is a chopping board but no knife. There is washing liquid but no drying cloths. So is the hotel not encouraging you to use the kitchen but provide half the facilities?
2. The heating system that is temperamental to switch on, noisy.
3. Room service - my came with a salt that has nothing in the shaker. Could have check it before bring it up to the room.
Nice stay. Staff don't exactly go out of their way to help. In the 'Ocean' view room the painting in the bathroom needs replacing as mouldy and smells.
Good location.But no compendium or information in room regarding restaurants or entertainment in the area.Room still not serviced by 5pm.Lots of other choices in Wellington
Always great staying at Rydges in Wellington. Central to most things and great rooms. The staff are always helpful and the restraunt which doubles as breakfast area is fantastic. Great steak and reasonably priced.
The meal wasn't as good as last time we found the lamb pie watery Steak was fab well done. $50 charge to our card - first time we've been told about this. Rooms are always lovely and staff are awesome..love staying.
My home away from home when I go to Wellington for work. Staff always friendly and obliging
Good mid quality hotel. Three and a half stars really. Rooms are clean and quite well appointed - ours had two hotplates and a good sized fridge. It's starting to look a little tired, especially the bathroom. Good location for the government end of town. There is a lot of traffic noise (we were on level 7). Portlander restaurant is very good and does meat well, and the breakfast was excellent value at $20 for the cooked Big Breakfast.
I had a night here on a whim when I was passing through the city, the staff were very kind and upgraded my room to one with a beautiful view of the harbour.
All amenities and facilities were as expected, it's a shame I couldn't stay longer to enjoy the full experience.
Close to everything. Hotel parking maybe be hard to get.
Good location, services, but air conditioning unit looks like it came from the 80's. It is a hazard when you have young children around.
Loved it. Rooms are well appointed and the restaurant is always busy. It's a very popular place to eat.
