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.
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.
I needed a place to stay when my flight was cancelled. The hotel was helpful, fairly priced. when I discovered the dining room was fully booked, staff quickly provided me with room service.

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.
Great location in Wellington CBD, outstanding views from your room of the harbour and city. Walking distance to shops, cafes, restaurants, Te Papa museum. Clean & tidy spacious room and friendly staff, would recommend this hotel to others.
Great accommodation, fantastic views of the harbour and city. Carpark on site and walking distance into the city. Our favourite hotel to stay in Wellington
This is a well located easy accessed hotel that clearly has not been maintained for a long time. It was clean and the staff friendly, however the entrance is tired and unwelcoming, one of the 2 lifts did not work and I was told had not been fixed for 3 months, leading to a real health and safety risk. The second lift malfunctioned during my stay making my 90 year old father to stay in his room for 2 hours until it worked! the rooms are old, curtains not fitting the windows and the showers old without ventilation. COME ON Bay Plaza, spend some money and you would be the best botique Hotel in Wellington. Nice staff, awesome views, location brilliant........you can do this so much better
