Richmond Guest House Bed & Breakfast

John the host great sense of humour John Australia

The building is old with uneven floors. Found the mattress a bit tired and the pillows very flat. Not sure if we would stay again. Breakfast had a good choice of cereals and toast.

We arrived late andwere welcomed. but the accomodation was modest- packed with furniture and modest in its presentation. It was clean however and no compliants other than the style and presentation.

Accommodation within walking distance to city and lots of eateries. Room and bathroom extremely clean. Would recommend staying here. Lots of special touches. This property feels loved.

Lovely stay! Beautiful cosy and cute room.

Nicely renovated. Nice bathroom, great shower. Not sure about tne host, whether he had a weird sense of humour was just plain rude.

Had a lovely stay at Richmond Guest House. Was myself and my 2 other girlfriends (21 year olds from Canada) who shared a 3 person room, rooms are perfect size and having our own bathroom was a huge bonus coming from staying in hostels prior. John and other staff were lovely, John even went out of his way to carry my friends heavy suitcase down to our room for us. Will definitely be booking here again if I find myself back in Wellington!

Quiet area below Mt Victoria. 10 minute walk to main street of restaurants. Hotellier provides a parking permit for parking at the hotel.

The location is good, around a 20 minute walk to the marina and less to the city centre. Rooms are pleasant & ours was clean. Breakfast was basic, but fine, choice of cereal and toast. Coffee is instant. The biggest problem with the guest house, which would stop us staying again, was John the host who was really rude to guests. We had an early flight into Wellington so I messaged the day before arrival to ask if we could drop our bags off around 10am (not check-in early) so we could walk around Wellington without our suitcases! I got no reply, but we headed there at 10 & were greeted with hostility by John & 'there's a reason have check-in times'! There was no greeting or apology for not having the service available and when I said we'd messaged the day before he ignored me. He did allow us to leave our bags in his office but we did it in such a hurry & we felt almost shooed out that we left things behind we needed for the day! The following morning at breakfast John was equally rude to guests making everyone feel really uncomfortable. Breakfast is 7-9am & we went at 8am. Unfortunately lots of people made the same choice and there wasn't space for all. John sent some people away & told them to come back in 10 minutes & then went on a rant about everyone having no intelligence & all turning up at the same time! Are his guests meant to be mind readers! He also made comments about some nationalities & was rude to a guest requesting filter coffee! Very unpleasant experience.

Great low cost accommodation close to the city. Clean and tidy with free parking and the added bonus of a free breakfast

A very knowledgeable host, very friendly and offered good advises. The house is in 70’es style, Lots of city pictures

Great shower. Rooms comfortable. Host quite rude.

Rude host

The bedroom was nicely furnished.

Lovely historic property in a quiet area and yet very well located for the city centre.

Chambre confortable, à 15 min du centre ville à pieds.

Was quiet and bed was comfortable. Would like more gluten and dairy free breakfast options due to dietary/medical restrictions.

Well positioned for anyone wanting to be within a 3-5minutr walk to Basin Reserve. Basic but homely.

The gentleman that greeted us was Ill manured and abrupt. Wouldn’t go back.

Die Einrichtung ist alt und abgenutzt, teilweise schmuddelig. Bettwäsche teilweise verschlissen und kaputt, um 06.30 h lief bereits die Waschmaschine laut. "Kontinentales Frühstück" bedeutet: Toast mit Marmelade!
