Naumi Studio Wellington
I love staying at Naumai mainly for the decor but also the staff are so friendly and helpful from the time you walk on the door until the time you leave they are all just so nice. That was my 3rd stay there and I will definitely be back

Nice breakfast comfy bed and pillows. Only issue was intermittent rushing water noise from the bathroom in the night. Was very loud and would wake me up. Nice and handy to course at vic uni
