The Holiday Inn is located in the business district of Wellington, but still is easy access to the cable car and in the center.

The Holiday Inn on the featherston street is a recently built hotel in a central location. Train station, harbor promenade and main shopping streets are short walk away.

Like all the hotels we met in New Zealand, include hair dryers, free safe and a fully equipped kitchenette including iron, iron and ironing board also the standard in these rooms. We had a room facing the street, at the weekend was very quiet... Read more

It is not a 5 star luxury hotel and it does not claim to be. - in November 09
It is an excellent 4 star property with rooms that could invoke envy with some so called 5 star hotels without the cost associated with a grand luxury hotel.

Location

Overall a nice central hotel, just a shame that some of the details let it down a little. - in October 09
We took a 2-night special (room only) package at $129 NZ per night, which was excellent value for such a central hotel - 2 minutes from the main shopping area of Lambton, three minutes drive from the Interislander Ferry, and sight-seeing tours pick up at the door.

A luxurious hotel situated within the business district, good location - about 3 mins drive to the Interislander Terminal & about 5 mins drive to shops & great restaurants around Cuba Street.

We thought this hotel was near to the ferry terminal but it had been moved since we were there last, but we were able to get a taxi quite easily. - in February 10
The hotel is located near the harbour (close to the ferry docks) and theres a nice walkway from the harbour to the Museum of New Zealand (Te Papa Tongarewa).

Gastronomy
- good food

To add insult to injury, the coffee is bad - not acceptable in the coffee capital of NZ.

- quite acceptable buffet
- satisfactory evening meals

The continental breakfast costs $20 - for this you get a rude off-hand person at the reception, tables which are not cleared so you wander around trying to find somewhere to sit and a generally messy and untidy food area. - in February 10

We tried our the pool and spa area the pool is big enough to do laps in but if there is more that one of you the pool gets a very weird wave action due to it being long and narrow, the water was very cool to say the least the spa ws warm and had good jets the sauna is on a timer I suggest you turn in on before you get in the pool and put a rolled up towel hard up against the door as there is a very big gap between the bottom of the door and floor so all the heat escapes, pool area well supplied with towels and showers overall we ha da pleasent stay, there were three minor issues, the extraction fan in the bathroom didn't work, the plug leaver for inbuilt sink plug was missing( we advised recption who said the problems couldn't re rectifed until Monday so they could move us the issues weren't that big) we were checking out early Monday and it wasn't till be went to make a coffee that we realised room service hadn't restocked the coffee.
