Everything! From the very friendly welcome by the receptionist and the early check-in to the new furniture and kitchen in the apartment. It even had a little dishwasher and a new washing Maschine/Dreyer. The location is perfect to explore the city. Very close by is a good supermarket. The apartment was spotless clean!! I absolutely can recommend this Hotel.

it is THE best hostel in the world, for real. Everything was like in the pictures and even better. the staff is super nice and welcoming. The facilities are so pretty that at some point you doubt that it is a hostel - it could be a hotel! Everything was so clean, the staff does cleaning more than once a day in public areas. Showers and toilets are the prettiest ever. And that is one of the few hostels in this country that offers basic things for cooking for backpackers - there was coffee, tea, sugar etc, cooking oil and even milk (also dairy free) for communal use. Other hostels should learn from The Marion how to do a proper hostel!

Super nice, comfortable and clean place. The bed is great. We took a shared bathroom but the building is small and super clean so it did not feel like sharing. The host is extremely nice and helpful. The location is super convenient if you take the ferry.

Recommendations for restaurants and activities were great! We loved our room, very cosy. Drinks and snacks were complimentary which was great! We had to leave early in the morning, check out was easy. Would have loved to stay longer! Hotel is only a short walk to the waterfront. Great restaurants are close by.

While I cannot provide feedback on the hotel as a whole, as we only stayed for one night (and were pretty exhausted from our travels) before travelling further. That said it worked out well for us. A great location in downtown Wellington close to lots of shops / cafes etc. and to the waterfront, the tram, and the beehive. The staff were friendly, the room was just right, and the beds were comfy,

We needed a place to stay for the night, as were transporting our sons' gear home for storage, while they are in between places; Willis Wellington Hotel location and value for money, worked for us. Our accomodation had plenty of room for 2 people. Our room was on the 4th floor, so traffic noise wasn't really an issue. Breakfast was great. GREAT friendly staff.

Best location with parking for the price. Booked budget accommodation for family of three adults and it was a welcomed respite after an 8-hour drive.. The beds were clean, soft and comfortable. Amazing water pressure in the shower! The staff we saw were friendly and helpful. We got extra towels and blankets from housekeeping. Curtains and nets on sash windows for privacy and window could be locked open for fresh air. Kettle and basic drink making supplies were made available. There was a small floor heater available.

Room was perfect for my needs - a single traveler needing an early check-in at the airport. the rooms were clean and well presented, the bed was perfect and I had a choice of pillows which made it even better. The room was warm and heater was easy to adjust. Bathroom was simple, clean & had what I needed. Beautiful decor and the BEST location ever for a "not in transit, but in transit passenger."- really perfect.
