This was my second stay at The Bolton Hotel in Wellington. In a previous job I’d stayed here for a couple of night right after the hotel opened back in 2004 (I think it was ’04… it was a boozy trip… so the memories have faded!).
The hotel is just off The Terrace in a really convenient location near the Beehive and just a 15 minutes walk to where I was working.

you end up in a swish hotel in a new city. You don’t know your way around, so you play it safe for a couple of days by eating at your hotel.
Towards the end of the week you have some spare time, as you’ve completed your work early, so you decided to do a little reconnaissance mission around the neighborhood you’ve been staying in, and during that trip you find several local food halls that offer the same quality and quantity of food that you’ve been eating at the hotel, with the major exception that the price is around 10% of what you were paying previously.
Well… welcome to my week in Bangkok!
Let me start off by saying that this is the crappiest hotel I’ve had the displeasure of staying at in the past 2 or 3 years. And I’ve probably done between 300 and 400 nights in hotels in that time!
