This Wellington hotel also includes street parking.
While staying in the hotel, you are invited to discover Lady Norwood Rose Garden, located 2.1 km away, or visit sports venues like the multi - purpose Westpac Stadium, which is 2.4 km away. Cultural sights in the area are Wellington Museum (0.8 km) and the colonial museum "Nairn Street Cottage" (1.3 km). Guests might as well visit Jack Ilott Green, which is about a 5-minute walk away. Offering convenient proximity to City Contemporary Art Gallery Wellington, the Aura is also just near Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

The property offers 62 rooms with coffee/tea making machines, and such modern conveniences as a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. The rooms are fitted with private bathrooms.

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.
