U Residence Hotel

Nice bright units are one block from waterfront, next door to convention centre and Te Papa museum, and walking distance to everything. Automated check-in but management office is onsite if you need anything. Comfortable bed with good quality linens and all amenities for a short term stay.

Stayed here with my family of five and it was very spacious and the contactless check-in process was very efficient and convenient. The one bathroom situation was a bit challenging but everything else was fantastic. The in-room washer + dryer was excellent and helpful too. The apartment is also located in a great location within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. We appreciated the saved parking space across the street but note that it is an open car park area so we did have to be mindful about leaving our belongings in the car overnight. Overall, I highly recommend this place!

Full kitchen and laundry in unit. Cute little balcony.

Really nice accommodation. Big spacious rooms and the manager was very accommodating.

Great location, great service.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Staff was very welcoming and hotel room was like brand new. Everything so clean and modern.

Great location. Good sized room. Comfy bed and good shower. Nothing more needed!

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

Clean place. Nice management. Everything restocked well. Walkable to a lot of dining options. 5 mins walk to bus station that can take you around the city.

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.

Close to Te Papa and the waterfront. Quiet room considering its location. Room was pretty run down though, needs some TLC.

Great size apartment. Perfect for our family trip to Wellington

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.

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

We had a great stay - it was cool having our little dog stay with us.

Amazing location to waterfront and Courtney place. Great balcony overlooking Wakefield st. Super comfy bed. Great space inside apartment. Some furniture looking a little tired. But overall exceeded expectations

Convenient location very close to TePapa

Handy central city - tidy and generous room with nice layout

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!
