    The location was stunning, around a 10-15 minute walk from the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The restaurant here was great for dinner and breakfast, we both ordered hot dishes.

    The location was efficient, for example, a Cuba street was at a medium distance from the hotel. The property was next to a cable car station. My room was well-kept with 2 single bed, ceiling windows, enjoyed it.

    My bed was a little small, unfortunately.

    The room was separate, and we had a stunningly beautiful view of the quayside.

    The staff at the hotel were caring and top-class. The location was stunning, close to the harbor front cafes. Luckily, it was near Aubergine Cafe, where I enjoyed pastries when it was chilly outside.

    A true pleasure staying at the James Cook. From check-in to check-out, the staff's professionalism and genuine care for guests' comfort shines through. The well-presented rooms and attentive cleaning staff on floor 21 exceeded expectations. Valet parking, friendly reception, and spacious accommodations were all highlights. The hotel's facilities and cleanliness were faultless, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Its central location allows for easy access to nearby attractions and dining options. The Club lounge's complimentary drinks and food were superb, with a stunning view of the city and bay.

    100% Recommend this hotel.
