There is no denying that this location is close to Te Papa and central Wellington but to say it is the best place in Wellington is rather overstated! Our first issue was trying to get into the lockbox attached a pipe on a freezing cold, windy and very wet evening! Not ideal. Apparently if we had arrived before 6pm someone could have met us. Our flight did not allow for this. The heating wasn’t working and neither was the promised Netflix. The drain in the bathroom sink was blocked and smelly. There was scaffolding all over building we were not made aware of. The cleaning standards were not high.
All in all rather disappointing as there were cheaper options but we chose James place as the photos made the place look a lot bigger and sparkling clean. We hope James can address the issues as we have made him aware.
