Nice hotel in central Wellington. We had the 2 bedroom apartment which was really nice with spacious lounge, comfortable beds and compact kitchen. The only downside was the bathroom which was a bit small, with a tight corner shower. Overall though, great value hotel in great location.

Could not fault the service at reception, very helpful, welcoming and friendly staff. Room was well presented, nice bathroom, good space. Great being able to control temperature in room. Although we had an internal room it was cleverly decorated so it didn't feel closed in. Would have helped if there had been some instructions on how to use the tv,couldn't get any connection at all and there were some random control panels on the wall which seemed to have no purpose. The room was comfortable, clean and value for Money, the bed was comfortable but very high, at 5ft tall I really struggled to get onto it and it will probably put me off returning. However I would definitely recommend this hotel for less vertically challenged folk!

We come to Wellington often and most hotels are fairly similar but not the Intrepid. This hotel has genuine old school service. Very friendly and nothing is a problem. Fresh coffee in the lobby and complimentary fresh OJ and pastries for breakfast. The hotel is dimly lit with a Art Deco theme. Very relaxing and romantic. The rooms are similar, very quiet and the bed is very comfortable. If you are looking for something quiet, relaxing, close to town, Modern Art Deco/ NYC and a little different this is the place to stay. Thanks Team, we will be back.

To quote your host John Cairns, "We don't claim to be the Hilton, but if you are traveling to Wellington for business or pleasure, for one night or ten, we offer clean, well located and comfortable accommodation at an affordable price." So next time you are in Wellington pay us a visit - Your Home Away From Home.
Had the potential to be quite charming but the guy was-out-the-gate weird. He seems to have some tried and true lines he pulls out for certain customers along the lines of "you must never have been to a guest house/B&B before" - I think this intended to make you feel small and stupid (and himself more important) for unwittingly breaking one of his unspecified rules. It also serves to divert attention/blame from his own failures (for example telling us off for making our own coffee, despite us waiting in the breakfast room for nearly an hour before anyone turned up to actually serve breakfast or blaming us for waking other guests by simply shutting our bedroom door). He shared his political views rather too freely and quickly. He also spoke negatively about his staff and other guests.

The room was very small [cosy?] but the location worked and parking was easy. One of the most expensive stays on our month away. A couple of ants in the bathroom - not a bother to us but glad we didn't have food to store. Comfortable [firm] bed and we slept well, thanks.

I stayed at Zenith Boutique L&S for just one night during our trip to Wellington to watch the British/Irish Lions play the All Blacks. The trip was a birthday present for my husband and Vadim and Sue and the rest of staff made sure it was very personalised and special. Vadim and I exchanged many emails leading up to the day, he helped arrange meal and even songs of preference, airport pickup/drop off, special town tour for the Sunday before the flight despite the town being extremely busy with visitors for the match. He took us to the match and stayed up till late to make sure we were back at the hotel safely and had offered to pick us up if necessary (we made it back smoothly using an uber). Everything was perfectly arranged, even enjoyed champagne at their beautiful indoor pool on Sunday shortly after breakfast. I cannot thank Vadim, Sue and the rest of the staff for help making our trip such a memorable one.

Tariff was higher than price quoted on website for room which was not a good start. Felt room overpriced for what we received. Our room was off corridor and walls were thin and heard noise and music from adjoining room occupants who seemed to say up all nite.. Room was tired and overdue for facelift. Wasnt cleaned properly especially behind doors. Taps hard to turn off and dripped. Felt motel was one level up from backpackers accommodation. Rooms dark with traffic noise from outside all nite. Was convenient location to Cuba street and cafes and nitelife and also close to ferry terminals. May suit young traveller but not seniors who need their sleep. Glad to leave in morning. Wont be back
