Location
The 3-star Aura Hotel Wellington is located steps from the central district of Wellington, within 15 minutes' walk of The Great War Exhibition. Boasting a location right near the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, this Wellington hotel features 62 rooms as well as a storage for belongings.
The hotel in Cuba Street, renowned for being the coolest little Capital City in the world is 2.1 km from the Lady Norwood Rose Garden and approximately 600 metres from such shopping venues as the Wellington Underground Market. The Aura is about 5 minutes' walk from City Contemporary Art Gallery Wellington and around 20 minutes' walk from the wooden Old St Paul's Cathedral. Guests will also appreciate the vicinity to St Peters Park, located merely 400 metres away. If you enjoy visiting historical places, the property offers good access to the National War Memorial, which is a mere 1.3 km away. The Aura is just a 5-minute stroll from Manners Street at Cuba Street B bus stop and a short way from Wellington train station in Wellington.
The rooms have a kitchen and a living room, along with coffee and tea making facilities for your convenience. Some rooms are fitted with a private bathroom.
Offering European dishes, Little Peckish Cafe lies right around the corner from Aura Hotel.
Review by hotel critic
As an environmental scientist and marine conservation enthusiast, my recent stay at Aura Hotel in Wellington left me underwhelmed. Despite its convenient location at 65 Cuba Street, within walking distance of key attractions and the vibrant cultural hub, the misleading room description was a letdown. the flat-screen TV and clean towels were pleasant, but the overall experience fell short of expectations. Stepping into the reception area was promising, greeted by multilingual staff and efficient laundry facilities. However, the reality of the room, lacking in basic amenities and charm, did not reflect the online portrayal. Even though the shared kitchen and living area were well-maintained, the lack of attention to detail in the private bathroom was evident. In conclusion, Aura Hotel's potential for a comfortable stay is overshadowed by the discrepancy between marketing hype and on-ground reality. For future guests, I recommend thorough scrutiny of the room before finalizing payment to avoid dissatisfaction. As someone who values responsible travel choices, I hope that Aura Hotel can enhance its commitment to sustainability and transparency for a more fulfilling guest experience.
