I attended a 60th birthday celebration at The Cambridge. What an amazing place. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Catered for all our needs and requests. The place was decorated for the function. We were given free range of the place. I know some of the guests did stay in the hotel as well.
Would definitely recommend anyone having a function to use the Cambridge as a party place.

Located in the Courtenay area of Wellington, this hotel is walking distance from Te Papa museum, eateries, shopping, event spaces on the docks, and walking trails. Rooms accommodate 1-8 people with a shared bathroom and kitchen space. Thr restaurant downstairs seems popular with guests, visitors, and locals.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Friendly, relaxed and enjoyable.
Rooms provide what is needed for a stay with simplicity.
Mattress very comfortable. Staff happy to help with all queries offering a supportive safe place to connect.

Never need to travel far with 4-6 happy hour and inviting locals happy to extend great conversations. A bright bunch of people ✨️

Stayed here for 5 days w a family friend and daughter to celebrate her 16th birthday. Could not if been more satisfied with our stay.

Thank you Cambridge Hotel and staff

Was only a short stay arriving after hours and leaving early. Communication via email and phone were outstanding. Room had all the essentials needed. Great experience and highly recommend

I Had a late arrival arranged but though a series of mishaps I was locked out of the hotel late at night with my grand daughter. Emails not received as I was on a plane. I lost my credit card and put it on hold. The amazing guy from the bar( he had actually finished work) let us in. Called someone else who had also finished work. This guy came back to work and sorted out our room. Amazing service. They arranged a late check out for us. The room was clean and cosy. I am so grateful for these guys who went above and beyond their jobs. Thank you

The hotel has known better days. The fridge in the kitchen is leaking water on the food. The ground floor bathroom is really unpractical. The first floor carpet smell of old cigarette smoke (but they started to renew it when we were there, issue could be solved). No locker in the rooms. When you book there, ask for a first or second floor room.

stayed 2 nights with friends for the Ed Sheeran concert on 2/2/23. The 4 Of them stayed on level 2 and I was on level 1. This level definitely needs a bathroom upgrade, -big time. Nothing at all to dry hands on or in, showers need a really good clean and the mirrors need to be accessible otherwise what is their point. My room was very hot and the fan didnt work. Staff at the front desk had quite a search to find a replacement which was working. Once I removed my footwear I stepped on a large patch of sticky, damp carpet. Vomit? That would explain the odour in the room. I wasn't expecting 5 star for the price, however hygiene standards need a 4 star pick-me -up. Pretty disgusting for a service industry.

Fine for the price paid. We purchased a whole dorm room however I wouldn't pay $40 for a bed in a dorm as there are no bunk curtains or safes in the rooms. Our stay was pleasant and did the job

Great place to stay on a budget. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. We arrived out of hours, however they did provide a key safe for us to collect our room key. The rooms were clean and tidy. Ours had a microwave, though there was no cutlery provided which was a problem if you wanted to use it for a meal. There was a kettle and cup's and glasses, along with teaspoons and teabags and milk provided.
The shared toilet's and shower's where kept clean and tidy which was nice, though It could have done with a minor by the sink for shaving.
Very convenient for the town centre, parking was free outside from 8pm-8am, after that $3 per hour maximum 3 hours before having to move your car. Okay if you are planning on being out most of the day.

The hotel was good and fit for purpose. The staff was willing to help whenever their help was needed. I consider this experience a blast from a past. I loved the old style lift and thought it was safer and well-maintain than some modern ones. Bathroom was clean but unfortunately, there was no shampoo or toothpaste so I had to run to the nearby shop and buy them in my night clothes. Other things are fine. Photocopying and printing facilities were helpful. I loved the view from my hotel room. A glamorous Queen Victoria statue was standing right outside my room. Great place for a Victorian history lover !

Fantastic central location, easy after hours access. Staff on the desk was very kind and helpful. Room was a great size as were the beds. Beds were a bit uncomfortable and the shower wasn't too clean. Was nice to have tea and coffee in the room and shampoo and body wash etc for the shower. Shower pressure was terrible which was gutting. Facility is really run down however it was priced accordingly and we would definitely stay there based on the price and location

$70/night, (1 night only, last minute walk-in, solo traveller, single private room). [Nov. 2022]

A good place, solid, but not brilliant. Would recommend to the budget conscious traveller looking for something cheaper in the heart of Wellington. Friendly staff, good amenities, just not 5 star is all I'm saying.

The staff are friendly and welcoming, rooms are small but all you need, starting to show its age with some wear and tear in carpet on the stairs and some paint flaking on the walls but doesn't affect your stay. Tidy bathrooms with good pressure in shower. Great location and a good pub with great prices for food and drink. Would happily stay again.

Didn't stay, ate. Mushrooms??? No no no. The bartender was amazing though. Find a better mushroom recipe, maybe slice and fry in garlic and butter? Cream is good too, but that stuff was like canned? Canned mushroom soup with cornflour added I swear... Bad. White button or brown mushrooms would probably be best for most peoples taste buds. I hope you can find the way guys! Mushrooms are a pretty important part of a big breakfast.

Good rooms, beds were comfy. Cute elevator they have the little one really enjoyed it and the little details from being an old building saved into the hotel. Pub and restaurant downstairs was convenient but not set closing time was a bummer. Only fault is we waited an hour to be checked in arriving at the time specified for check in that was annoying. Other than that they are lovely people and a beautiful old hotel.

Shocker! Nicotine haven, Carpets worn out beyond belief, Damp walls with paint peeling off, ages old spring mattress, sink so small 2 hands cant be washed at the same time; shelving so damaged it looks like its been picked up from a dump yard. ITS A DUMP. unbelievable

Great location, but needs more/better staff. Carpets so dirty that my shoes actually got sticky! Most toilet & shower doors were broken. Dirty dishes piled up in the kitchen sinks, dozens of forks, knives & plates available but no sign of bowls or spoons. Just needs a more effective manager, and this hostel could be a real gem.

Went there for dinner based on First Table but the menu displayed on First Table was completely different from what was being offered. There was quite disappointing with a very limited choice of items. The calamari was very nice.

An older place but the rooms were nice and clean and the bed was comfy.
