We booked this hotel for one night while we had dinner in the city. The location was perfect, and the size of the room was very good. The staff weren't very knowledgeable about surrounding areas eg; shopping. Or about the pillow menu, when asked. Overall was a pleasant stay.

Nice location: walking distance to the Railway Station and all the attractions. I received a suite and discount on food thanks to Expedia. The suite was very clean and had good amenities. The only thing that needs attention is the tiny, unstable space provided for putting soap and shampoo while taking a shower.

Great hotel, great location
We stayed at CityLife for 3 nights as part of our first trip to NZ. Couldn't fault the hotel at all. The rooms were spacious, the kitchen ideal for having/making breakfast in the room, we used the laundry facilities in the bathroom to freshen up some clothes and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is within a few shops from the cable car, there is a grocery store and pharmacist within a few hundred yards and the harbour and museums within 10 minutes walk. It is also only a 10 minute walk to the railway station. We used the airport Express bus ($10 pp) and got off at the stop that was a few yards from the hotel. This is a fairly small hotel and doesn't have a restaurant so if you like a large reception area and meals then this is not for you. We found plenty of places to eat by the quay and overall thoroughly enjoyed our short time in Wellington.

Didn’t like the room outlook onto an ugly old wall with half dead sparsely planted greenery that didn’t hide it. Averaging over $500 per night that’s not what we expect. Have stayed here a few times over the last 17 years since we left NZ, but this will be the last stay. There are far nicer choices.
