WORST ACCOMMODATION EVER!!

I've travelled the world and stayed in accommodation that covers the full range of 'stars' and I can honestly say this was the worst I have ever seen! The accommodation we got wasn't even featured in the photos on this site. The apartment block itself also stank, was filthy and was clearly being used to house homeless people. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ACCOMMODATION.

Property was not what was shown in the photos or advertised. Had to walk up multiple flights of stairs; room was very shabby; dog excrement and trash all around the entrance. We couldn’t stay there is was so disgusting.

Weekend in Wellington

Booked this apartment last minute, through last minute .com which was probably a mistake - the web site was not particularly helpful and the call centre I called was unable to help with any queries. The contact phone number they gave for contacting the apartment didn’t exist, and the information they provided about car parking was not correct. The apartment is in an excellent location almost on Cuba street and walking distance from all amenities. We had a great stay and the owner was extremely helpful. The weather was great and Wellington is extremely easy to navigate (not by car - many one way roads) which allowed us to visit all of the top ten rated visitor attractions. The museum on the water front is superb.

No lift for the top 2 floors which we didnt know until the day of arrival. There was no extra security lock or chain on the entrance door. The door frame to the outside deck was old and damaged.

It just felt dirty. None bar 2 of the lights were working and when I went to use the lamps on either side of the bed, after 1 minute the switch for them was incredibly hot. Not safe at all.

Excellent location for walking to all the shops, te Papa, waterfront and bus stops at front door. However a lot of homeless now frequent the area (not property fault but Wellington council etc) and they sleep on the streets below. A lot of fights & arguments so not the Wellington central we used to know… property did not have a balcony as we thought we’d booked that specifically. No good sleeping 5 as sofa bed is not good enough for an adult very uncomfortable & not enough suitable bedding to be warm. No extra bedding provided. Was very clean just getting too old really. And price reflects this I guess. Easy check in etc.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very central location but the apartment itself was very shabby. The banister of the stairs was broken. The fridge was switched off when we got there so there was a drawer full of water in the freezer and the milk they left was unsafe. There was an empty hand soap dispenser in the bathroom. It is a noisy area at night and you could hear everything happening outside from the front bedroom. One of the tv remotes was missing. The couch was close to falling apart. I would say this apartment would be fine for people in the city to party but definitely not for a family.

Though this accommodation was convenient to everything it is in a desperate need of refurbishment. The lobby smelled of boiled cabbage. Also, the place is quite noisy from the street noise below. Double windows with decent curtains may help to reduce the noise level.
