I’m all for giving credit where it’s due, and as such I credit this ‘borrowed’ review entirely to AttitudeTV’s Curtis Palmer. Curtis says that he was down in Wellington over New Years, and stumbled across a “wee gem” of an accessible hotel, and gives it a solid rating.

The Comfort Hotel in Cuba St was primo! It’s a heritage building that used to be the old Trekkers Backpackers. Newly renovated, its classy.

We paid $89 a night, the room was basic with pretty much a bed and TV but it had a fully accessible ensuite. If I were to grade it I would say it was a 2 out of 3.

• 1 being totally accessible where you wouldn’t require any assistance.
• 2 being relatively accessible where a person in a manual chair could manoeuvre around the room with few hurdles.
• 3 being a room where you need assistance to do most things.

I could just fit down the side of the bed, the bathroom was perfect, they had a lift and we really couldn’t ask for more. It was central to cafes, restaurants, and attractions which meant we didn’t need to hire a car.

Wellington on a sunny day is arguably unbeatable. We had fantastic weather and Wellington really treated us to a great time. The trip was made even better with a comfortable, clean, cheap and easy place to stay.
