Good value for money. ‘Studio’ way more spacious than appeared in a photo. It’s usually the reverse! The drapes were thermal lined & helped to reduce street noise & keep the room well insulated for warmth. There was a heating unit that functioned well, but I only used it for 15 minutes and then turned ‘off’. The bed was so comfortable & clean I couldn’t stay awake. There were extra blankets in a wardrobe, as well as an ironing board & iron. The kitchenette is well equipped. If staff, or guests, didn’t keep nicking or losing track of plugs, there would be one each for the bathroom and kitchen the sinks!? The bathroom is spacious with a washing machine in the right hand corner. The shower rose belts out a good stream of water. My only concern was the tripping hazard when near the entrance to the bathroom off the kitchenette. There really should be an eye catching yellow line warning of a discrepancy in floor levels and the setting of the row of tiles along the leading edge of the entrance to the bathroom. The tiles are angled upwards & there is a ‘lip’ the entire width. A guest could catch the soul of their shoe, especially if standing side-on, and not looking down while in the kitchenette. The room was directly opposite the lift well on the 2nd floor, I think. I wasn’t aware of any noise internally at this property. I was only there for 12 hours & did not see any other guests. The two staff were warmly welcoming, & clear with details on a cold, wet Wellington evening. Thanks!
