These apartments are in an excellent location, just around the corner from Te Papa and across the road from the waterfront. Lots of nice eateries within a short walk too. The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The balcony had views of the waterfront and was a lovely spot. We would definitely stay here again if coming back to Wellington.

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

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.

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.

Central and close to all the shopping, food places and transport e.g. buses, that we needed. Also very close to Te Papa and waterfront which were places we wanted to visit. Small room but had what we needed for short stay. The outdoor balcony was important to us to have small outdoor space and fresh air. Staff were helpful and friendly.
