This fulfilled all my needs and more because of the ease of the process and front staff service given when I inquired. I ended up staying another night and glad I did, saving me time and allowed me to finish all I needed to. Thanks and would definitely use again.
Memory, the name of the receptionist/manager was the high point of the Willis Wellington. She was friendly, accommodating, and allowed me to store my bags both before my check-in and after my check-out. She was super helpful and provided me with guidance about navigating Wellington. She needs a raise. Overall average hotel coming from a former night guest service agent. The laundry facilities could be improved with free laundry powder, the rooms could be improved through offering additional soaps and tooth brush sets for customers who forget theirs', the carpet could be replaced which would give the hotel a face lift. There should always be something at reception greeting guests and helping them with their bags. There is no reason why their isn't a concierge available to help guests. In addition to this, the lights make the hotel feel depressing and old. Please, consider my feedback, someone with relevant experience working in a 4.5 star hotel.
Perfectly adequate sized rooms, but space is not generous. Shared bathrooms can be a nuisance if you are busting. Really needs separate toilets. Quiet street (for a central city) and easy to walk to from Courtney Place/Cuba St, etc. Very attentive concierge. Very good value - you get what you pay for.
PPortia Domonatani-DuguLocation was great, in the city. Not in a busy street so nice and quiet.
I was in a townhouse which had all the necessary amenities. Very clean.
Awesome staff. I left something behind and they were kind enough to keep it for me.
A great coffee shop and asian restaurant about 100m from the entrance which was really ideal. McDonalds down the road, 24hr dairy shop and pharmacy so location is great for business and family travellers. Also the bus stop for the bus that goes to the airport is about 200m down the road.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!

EExploring our one precious worldStayed one night at James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor for a conference held onsite.
Check-in staff were friendly and efficient. The hotel has three separate lift banks servicing different areas — if you’re unfamiliar with Wellington, definitely ask staff to explain the easiest exit route to the city. It makes a big difference.
Breakfast was a very large buffet with plenty of options, though I’ve experienced better quality elsewhere.
The hotel itself is older but has solid bones. Perfectly adequate for a work overnight stay. For personal travel I’d probably choose somewhere with more atmosphere, however it felt safe and comfortable.
One odd feature: some rooms face an internal terrace/window area — remember to close your curtains as people can see straight in.
Bed was clean and well made, the room was tidy, though the carpet is showing its age. The shower had excellent pressure and plenty of hot water — a highlight.
Overall: reliable, practical conference accommodation rather than a destination stay.
