Ohtel Wellington

Located right along the waterfront, the hotel is narrow but built deep into the hill. After overcoming the strange little slope at the entrance (series of wooden bumper which made dragging luggage a chore), I checked in at a table next to a sign that read “Ohtel Pantry”, which had initially confused me over which door I should enter. The rooms are large and beautifully decorated in the mid century (20th) decor. On the bed, there’s a card which explains the type of pillows, from which you can choose to use. I love the fact that there’s a Nespresso machine (seriously, which higher end hotel still uses instant coffee?), and in wet and windy Wellington, I love the heated towel rails and the fact that the bathroom is separately heated. What I did not love about the shower is that it is higher than the rest of the bathroom, so the water will flow out to parts of the bathroom. BTW, each room in the hotel is unique, check out their video to see. Service wise, it feels like I’m home. Everyone is so friendly, and I love sitting by the window on cold evenings with my cup of hot chocolate with their homemade marshmallows. Definitely going back to try the other rooms!

I stayed here for 2 nights and it was absolutely perfect - I wish I could have stayed longer! The staff were all so friendly and welcoming and the room was amazing. It was clean, comfortable and spacious. I stayed in the king sized room with the bath which was absolutely enormous and perfect for a relaxing stay. All the toiletries and minibar items were locally produced which I loved and the soaps smelt amazing. The small touches of the personalised welcome card, pillow menu, and heated bathroom floor really made my visit top tier. The room service food and drink were brilliant and the 11am check out time was really nice for a lie in and breakfast in bed on the last day. I honestly cannot thank the Ohtel team enough for such a brilliant stay 🩷

We had a wonderful experience. It was a very nice, spacious room with great amenities. We were lucky enough to have been given a room upgrade. Great location within walking distance to a lot of different things (beach, museum, markets, Courtney Place, Cuba street).

A Stylish Stay with a Few Quirks Ohtel Wellington offered a generally delightful stay, blending a fantastic location with a charming mid-century modern aesthetic that we absolutely loved. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly staff, with a special shoutout to Stefan who was particularly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Our room boasted a lovely view, allowing us to soak in the Wellington cityscape. There may be city noise, but we travel with a house machine so it didn't bother us. The cleanliness of the room was also impeccable, which is always a welcome sight. The hotel's location proved to be incredibly convenient, making it easy to explore the city's attractions, restaurants, and shops. The standout feature for us was undoubtedly the mid-century vibe. The design elements, from the furniture to the decor, were thoughtfully curated and created a stylish and comfortable atmosphere that truly resonated with our personal taste. However, there was one aspect of the room that we weren't particularly fond of: the glass door bathroom. While aesthetically it might contribute to a sense of openness, it offered limited privacy, which was a bit of a drawback. Overall: Despite the minor issue with the bathroom door, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ohtel Wellington. The friendly service, particularly from Stefan, the excellent location, the cleanliness, and the wonderful mid-century design made for a memorable experience. We would certainly consider staying here again, especially if the bathroom privacy could be addressed in future room designs. Pros: * Friendly and helpful staff (special mention to Stefan) * Good view from the room * Excellent location * Impeccably clean * Stylish mid-century modern aesthetic * Cafe, we only had coffee but it was good Cons: * Lack of privacy with the glass door bathroom

Ohtel is well located to access all Wellington CBD has to offer. The personal service is second to none. The small number of rooms 10, means that it’s never crowded and the lifts and stairwells are free. The rooms are large and some have great views of the harbour. The cafe downstairs is also a great place to grab a quick bite or wine before going out. The friendly staff are outstanding and the rooms are always made to perfection.

Quirky but well appointed rooms. Friendly staff and small cafe on site. Right next to Port Nicholson, Te Papa, and the weekend markets with a short walk to the city. Street parking only so ditch the car if it's easier.

We had a fantastic time in this lovely hotel. The suite on the top floor was lovely. Toasty warm, we felt very at home. Will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends. The location is perfect just on the side of the city. We parked a block up behind the hotel, which is fine for weekends.
