Great location across the road from Te Papa Museum. Wonderful foyer area full of contemporary artworks and with many spots to sit and enjoy it. Great in house dining options. Stylishly decorated with funky furnishings. High end toiletries provided. Good kitchen with stove, dishwasher, and microwave. Washing machine very efficient. Everything we needed for a 3 day stay.

Parking is extra on top of the room fee. Bedside lamps not suitable for reading with. Not enough overhead lighting (hard to pack suitcases at night). Recycling bins for paper, bottles and soft plastics would be great.

Such an interesting hotel and apartments, great art and great location. Very modern, spacious, clean and comfortable rooms. The apartment was well fitted-out and the 6th floor has great views across Wellington harbour. A great area for lots of diverse restaurants, across the road from the Te Papa museum and walking distance to the central city for shopping, the harbour ferry, cable car and much more. Good restaurants abound (really enjoyed the Yacht Club and Fratellis), harbourside and surrounding streets.

Front desk staff seemed overloaded and struggling, Having the front desk and bar combined is maybe not such a good idea. Valet parking is pretty expensive.

The hotel itself is gorgeous. Beautiful art decorating the lobby gives the hotel an elevated and cultured feel. The valet service was appreciated and very helpful. The staff were lovely and very accomodating. I loved the gift they left us in our room to commemorate the occassion. The room was a great size with more than the average hotel amenities. Two hob stove, oven, microwave, and a washer/dryer. There was an extra large tub that filled very quickly and the toiletries all smelt lovely and were gentle on skin. The hotel was within walking distance to many great tourist spots and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

It was a bit difficult to find the entrance as we were looking for "museum hotel" especially after a long day of driving, but on ringing them, they provided clear instructions. The hippo helped.

The location was excellent:- opposite Te Papa Museum; close to Courtney Place for transport & eateries. The hotel decor was fabulous. The room decor was very good. The room's lighting was ok if you only wanted subdued lighting, but if you wanted to read, write or sew then it was hopeless - there was no task lighting at all. Even the desk lamp was low wattage & not functional .

The kitchen had no containers to microwave in. There were no containers to cook anything on or in for the oven. There was no chopping board. There was no can opener.

The locality to where I needed to get to on foot, The luxuriousness of the furnishings, amazing artwork throughout the whole building. I have never had the privilege of ever seeing great art like that and to be afraid to sit, look and admire it. The ambience of the lighting to preserve the artwork but yet giving off an illusion. The wonderful staff throughout all the different areas of roles and responsibilities. Our room had everything that I needed and was comfortable. We both just loved it and have already recommended it to colleagues, friends and family to stay there. Am already planning our next stay.

I did not have enough towels for myself. It was my husband and I and had 1 towel each , I am used to and prefer to have 2 towels each. Other than that it was great.

Love the location, comfy and modern room with good kitchen facilities and a washing machine. Pool and spa were top notch, heated and a good size.

Parking is a hassle. Valet is expensive, alternative of parking in Te Papa was good however the staff member forgot to tell us we needed to validate our parking ticket and pay at the front desk to get the special rate so we ended up paying a lot more. Don’t use the dryer function in the washing machine, it’s a bit rubbish- clothes dried faster in the bathroom/hung up in room.

- Excellent location, close to Te Papa and a lot of restaurants, Cuba Street etc. - Was great for travelling with a 5 year old who wanted to go back to the room for a rest in between activities. - Car Parking was good, no need to book in advance (some other hotels I looked at couldn't guarantee a carpark). It is valet parking and the concierge was great to deal with, always had the car ready when I needed it (cars are stored across the road in a secure carpark when not in use). - Reception and Lobby area is nice with lots of artwork to look at. Swimming pool, Spa and Sauna were all in operation during my stay which was a main reason I wanted to stay here, kid loved it. - Staff were friendly and always helpful when assistance was needed. - Size of room was fine for a family of 3. - Large bath tub which the kid enjoyed too. - Tip for guests: the hotel shares their main entrance/ reception with QT hotel. When inputting into google maps use the QT Wellington address (90 Cable Street). The Wakefield St address given will take you to the back entrance which you can't enter without a key card.

Beds were a bit soft for my liking. Lighting in the room was a bit dim. Phone to reception wasn't working. These were only minor issues and I would definitely stay again.

Great sized room and cool decor. Loved everything about the space we had - it was a really big room and much better than being in just a hotel room.

It was unclear about where the hotel was - it's actually at the other end of the QT Hotel but the actual address shows it as being a bit up the road but you enter through the QT Hotel lobby. And there was a desk set up in the lobby that said it was the Museum Apartments check-in desk but there was no one there. We waited there a while before walking up to the QT Hotel check in desk at the other end of the lobby and they said to check in there. So why no sign on the desk to explain where to check in. Why even have a Museum Apartment check in desk when it's obviously not used. But that was the only confusion - everything else was fab!

The deep bath was amazing. The location was spot on and handy to everything at a short distance. Oven and Induction stove top was great! Room service was brilliant and kind. The bar man was knowledgeable despite there being limited stock. Loved the Spa and Pool gym area. Appreciated the little sitting areas to sit and take phone calls etc.

Had issues on the first night with the washer drier (room service ended up laundering our belongings until the maintenance guy returned the next day). Only one chair in the apartment yet there were 3 of us so hard to sit and eat at the table to eat a meal we had to take turns. Shower kept leaking out the shower when showering so we had to always lay towels down to avoid slipping despite us letting the staff know. Phone lines were down so this was a inconvenience when trying to sort out issues or order room service, There was no booklet in the room of the restaurant menu or drinks menu to look at and plan a meal. Hall way lights were pretty dim could have been turned u a notice.

Our room #602 Had beautiful views of the harbour and at night it was spectacular. The king sized bed was comfortable, automatic room temperature was perfect and the bathroom with shower and bath was nice too. Kitchen with oven, microwave, hot plate and small refrigerator was quite adequate but utensils were rather limited. Valet parking is available and we used it as there are lots of shops/cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance.

We would have liked to have had a coffee plunger/espresso machine. There were only 3 ordinary coffee sachets and 3 decaffeinated and that is not adequate and only 2 coffee mugs. The room lighting, other than by the bed, was not particularly good and it was very difficult to see anything in the wardrobe. No dressing gowns or slippers and, only 1 hand towel
