Great room. Check in was easy. Staff were very friendly and helpful and location was fantastic. Room wasn’t very soundproof but thankfully it’s quiet at night so it didn’t cause any problems.

Location is absolutely the best, as it is only a block away from the waterfront, attractions, and many, many restaurants and bars. Staff are all professional and accomodating above and beyond. However the room furnishings are somewhat lacking, with things like luggage racks and desks missing, and no power or USB outlets where they would be most useful At night, the bedroom rattles with the sound of machinery, which goes silent in the morning. There is also no view from most of the balconies, but just having a balcony right by the water is nice

The room was great, heaps of space, modern,all the facilities you would need. Very close to walk to anywhere in central Wellington. I was initially unsure about entry procedures but it was easy. Parked across the road in Hotel park, it was only a 2 minute walk to hotel. Overall a place I would recommend. Thanks.

We stayed at U Residence Hotel on our road trip to Queenstown and on our return. We absolutely loved this place and we were travelling with our wee dog who was able to stain our room. It was extremely clean, warm and the location is amazing, both for food and to the Ferry. Check in was easy and contactless. Definitely will stay here again with or without dog.

Disappointment is a nice way of putting my stay at U Residence, Wellington. Online it says the hotel is 4 stars that unfortunately is a joke. Let’s start dishwasher doesn’t work, smoke butts and ash tray on balcony, no pen or paper to write on. Couldn’t connect to the wifi. One rubbish bin that was the size of a peg basket and no refil rubbish liners for when full. No soap. No vacuum cleaner, had a washing machine but no instructions or powder and no line to put clothes on. The shower bottom was uneven and slippery, my 70 yr old dad whom I stayed with slipped over while getting in. Also says pet friendly, no where for your pet to get outside no courtyard had to walk over 1 km for my service dog to wee each time. No stairs to access only a dirty lift. The doors are difficult to unlock and heavy. I was told the hotel had limited parking so asked as a disabled person for parking and the hotel has actually no parking at all it’s inside a shared building. We checked out at 7:30am because of all these factors it was an awful nights stay. I really am wanting a refund because it ruined our entire trip to Wellington and was not worth the money spent. It felt more like a brothel than anything else. I found it hard to give it 1 star. Very misleading online. Also said has sound proof walls that’s not true we could here everyone come and go and both sides of our room shower and use the toilet. Toilet paper was 1 ply but so thin you couldn’t even get it off the roll properly. Refund pleas!

I found it disappointing. It is more like an AirBnB than a hotel. I wanted interaction, someone to recommend restaurants, arrange a taxi, etc. Instead I got a ‘contactless’ reception - otherwise known as a key lock box !!! Disappointing. If you want a hotel with staff, book somewhere else.
