It is advertised as a hotel, but is actually more like serviced apartments. No parking, no checkin desk etc, no dining.

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.
