The staff was attentive and outstandingly accommodating - we would go back in flash. Overall it was beautifully maintained and good sized with a spa tub. The food was good and the location was perfect! A shopping mall and supermarkets were right next door. The hotel had a great restaurant which offered 50 % off main courses for dinner.

The compact queen studio was well-organised and reasonably priced with a double bed plus a single, so that guests had essentials. The daily breakfast was enjoyable with a great coffee. Throughout the day staff were excellent.

The location is nice, 2 miles from New Zealand Film Archive. It takes 15 mins by foot to the bus stop.

Beautiful views, favourable location cheapish to taxi to rail station+ Airport. Amazingly great staff interactions.

We really enjoyed the apartment which was functional. The bed was comfortable and there were an electric kettle, a microwave, and central heating to use.

The location was marvellous and lovely, on the waterfront! It was tidy, spotless and with 2 beds. The staff were nice and welcoming day and night.

This budget hotel offers good choice of well-organised rooms. The location is nice, 1 mile from New Zealand Film Archive.

Our favourite, great budget hotel in Wellington with affable stuff. Particularly good breakfast and outstanding food selection.

I had a fantastic stay at this place. The location on the bay overlooking the water was breathtaking, and it was only a short drive to the airport. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, from the housekeeping to the package/parcel services. The room was well-equipped with amenities like ironing facilities, heating, and tea and coffee facilities. The free Wi-Fi was a great bonus, and the on-site car park made it convenient for me to explore the area. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making me feel right at home. I highly recommend this hotel.

This place is perfect for everyone.

'Bella Vista' is convenient to Wellington city. A quiet place out of the bustle of the city, yet close enough to be at Te Papa in 15 minutes by car. We had a fridge and microwave, toaster and jug, and a small table for eating at, as well as a desk for working. A separate room had shower/ loo and basin. Everything very clean. Parking was free, as also was a certain amount of wireless internet. Richard the proprietor showed us how to operate the heater and television remote, and quick to supply a new lamp when it was pointed out the one on the desk did not operate.

Our room was small, and the bed was two singles pushed together, resulting in a hard rib down the centre of the bed. The walls were thin enough for our spoken conversation at 11 pm (when we arrived home after dinner with friends), to result in a rap on the wall from next door. We could hear the neighbour's snores the next night. Bella Vista, despite being on Evans Bay, does not translate to a 'beautiful view', although this may have been the case once before it was built out. Finally, I'm not keen on notes in motel rooms, and the one in the kitchen here threatened possible action if we did not keep the kitchen clean and tidy during our stay.

I arrived late in the evening on a very windy Wellington night and Richard had the heater on in the room and made sure I was comfortable, checking what I wanted for breakfast and asking me if I wanted a paper. Freindly with out being over the top.

Internet connection?

The free WiFi was a great addition, perfect for our holiday and we were happy that there was parking available; it was convenient to stay near our favorite places like Shelly Bay.
