Close to TePapa, shops and has a supermarket opposite. Rooms and bathrooms are old. Also the room had no aircon, so was very hot inside the rooms. So hot we slept on top of beds. No bowls or cultery. Just coffee cups, small glases, and teaspoons. Provided tea and coffee and a small jug of milk on request.

Get some double glazing and aircon. The room was noisy and unbearably hot. Excellent location and staff but these issues took the shine off.

Choose me if you're stranded in Wellington,

Emergenct stop thanks to Air NZ cancelling the last flight of the day home. Perfectly situated for the stranded business traveller, not expensive and a good room (size, facilities and cleanliness) for my needs. New World opposite to buy the essential toothpaste and toothbrush at not-airport prices and only a few dollars uber back to the airport in the morning. Reception staff were wonderful.

The Bay Plaza is a very affordable hotel in an excellent locality. We stayed in a king room on the 6th floor. It was a spacious room with a great view of the city and inner harbour snd had everything we needed. It’s an older hotel but scrupulously clean and the service was excellent with pjs Tigua car parking. We’ll definitely stay there again.
