Very dated and a very tight parking lot. Conveniently located and walkable to waterfront, Cuba street etc. Don't expect the Ritz but it was good enough for one night... skipping our morning shower!

Excellent location just a short walk to Te Papa, multiple restaurants, TSB Arena, etc. We parked up then did everything else on foot. Staff were friendly. We were on the 5th floor and barely heard any street noise, which was a pleasant surprise. Our room was opposite the lifts though and we could hear people talking as they exited the lifts - fortunately no one was up in the middle of the night, but next time I’ll request a room further away.

The room was lovely the service was great and the view from our window was fantastic. Sadly a wee bit ruined by the lack of sound proofing one night ruined by music and talking to 4am and another by having to listen to a couple having loud sex.

Came to Wellington for The Food Show which is held at The Stadium the other end of town but this year wanted to stay in a different part of CBD. Bay Plaza Hotel was an easy walk from the Airport bus route and staff were welcoming and happy to store bags until room was ready. Room was spacious enough to be shared by 2 friends and the frequent buses made it easy to get around. Will happily stay again when visiting Wellington.

Loved the service and friendly staff. Although we had a room on the top floor, there was quite alot of noise through the night from roadworks below. Not much the hotel can do about that but was just something to note if you are a light sleeper.
