Willis Wellington was great value for money. Negatives: the water pressure in the shower didn't blow me away, the fittings are somewhat outdated, but perfectly fit for purpose. The king size bed is two singles pushed together creating the inevitable gap in the middle. Still being in the honeymoon phase of our relationship this was somewhat annoying, but the beds were comfortable, the rooms were warm. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and responded to our queries in a very timely manner. Location was great. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone needing accommodation in Wellington.

Property was very cold, and there was no spare blankets. The heater was not working so I had to have a hot shower at 2am in the morning to warm up. Nothing special about the hotel.
