Tried to check in with our friends at 1:30pm but only 1 of the 3 rooms were ready, which was fine. But when we returned later we were asked to pay a bond. Our friends hadnt & we have stayed at the Bay Plaza many times & never paid a bond on a prepaid room.

Ian, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room and bed are always 'spot on' very comfortable, great range of programmes on TV including movies. Staff are lovely. I stay in the smaller rooms, the bathrooms are tiny and a bit old fashioned - but I spend only 10 mins in there - I always rebook when I have to stay in CBD for work. Parking is great, location is excellent

Claire, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good value for money for the location in central Wellington. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Having carparking on site was a drawcard. From there it was an easy walk to Takina Convention Centre, Te Papa and Courtney Place restaurants and cafes.
