The hotel offers fine, well-appointed, and comfortable rooms, great for families with fantastic pool facilities. The service was attentive and helpful, although a credit card surcharge was automatically added. The location is convenient for work and leisure, close to restaurants and bars but lacked tidiness. Dining provided a good selection with freshly cooked options. Overall, a good value for money stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were beautiful and clean, with comfy beds, but the street noise and excessive heat made it hard to relax. The staff was friendly and helpful, offering great local advice, but the breakfast felt like leftovers if you didn't arrive early. The location was very central and convenient for exploring the city, but at times noisy. The dining options were delicious despite a rocky breakfast start.

I had a wonderful stay at the Rydges. The room was spacious and I was amazed by the fantastic hotel shower with perfect height, pressure, and drainage. The service was impeccable, with staff who genuinely seemed proud of their work. The location couldn't be faulted, being close to the harbor and city. However, the lingering steak smell from the restaurant kitchen was a downside. The dining experience left something to be desired with undercooked eggs and cold food, but the overall value for the price paid was good.

The hotel had clean and spacious rooms with great views of Wellington Harbour and Mt. Victoria. However, it was quite hot upon check-in, and noise from the hallway was noticeable. The service was friendly and helpful, with prompt room changes and discounts offered, but there were issues with concierge responses. The location was central, within walking distance of popular attractions, although being distant from the city was a drawback. The dining experience was delicious, albeit expensive, and the facilities were well-equipped.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were quiet but not ready until after 4 pm, with a disappointing partial view of the harbor obstructed by a nearby office block. However, the service, especially from the restaurant staff, was fantastic and very welcoming. The location, although central and convenient, had some design flaws that could be improved. The dining experience was incredible with a great variety of delicious food, but the facilities could use some enhancements.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were a bit dirty initially, but I borrowed a vacuum to tidy up, and they were a nice size with really comfy beds and lots of pillows. However, it was a bit difficult to sleep through the night. The service was helpful, with staff going out of their way to accommodate us when we arrived early and even finding a specific item for me. The location was lovely, just a stroll away from the harbor, and reasonably close to many city sites. The dining experience was a bit confusing at times, especially during busy mornings, but overall exceptional. The hotel facilities were good with some variability in friendliness.

Our hotel stay had its ups and downs. The room, although not what we expected, had two full walls of glass windows, albeit in need of a makeover, and faced a bright advertisement with LED lighting at night. The service was mostly wonderful and accommodating, with a minor hiccup when inquiring about seating. The location was immaculate and beautifully laid out, although lacking a convenient area for quick tasks. The dining experience left something to be desired with cold, mediocre food and limited options. Overall, a mixed experience.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms required a key card to access the family floor, but unfortunately, they were quite hot due to the nearby construction noise that sounded like a freight train. On the bright side, the hotel's location was perfect and the bathroom light feature was a nice touch. The service was a bit lacking in cleanliness and knowledge of the staff, but they were quick and lovely when helping me find a lost item. The dining experience was relaxed and enjoyable, just like the rest of the hotel. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
