Reviewed Aug 25, 2026Good location, easy check in room was very clean. Was suprised they charge for carparking.
Ive stayed in a few quests and actually lease a quest apartment in the north island. This one was quite disappointing. Tiny tv on a grey wall made it very hard to watch, bed was rock hard and pillows very thin. (Personal preference) Front door to the building is left open and counter is not staffed in the evening so any check inns find there key on a envelope on a table this is not very secure in my eyes. Any other guest ive stayed in requires and keycard to gain entry to the building and elevator. I wont be staying here again.

Reviewed Aug 15, 2026Great central location, nice room.
My co-worker accidentally closed the door leaving his key inside as we were going to dinner. As the reception closes at 6pm, he had to pay a $50 fee and wait 20 minutes for someone to come from off-site to let him back in. This sort of thing is a common occurrence and it's a shame there's not a simple solution that doesn't cost 30% of the night's accommodation to resolve it.

Reviewed Aug 15, 2026Hotel is situated in the middle of the CBD and so it is super simple to walk anywhere you want. The room has great facilities and we could be self-sufficient which is exactly what we wanted. Loved the washer/dryer in the room which meant we could do our laundry when we wanted. Bed was great and very comfortable and had a great space for me to work at the desk. Parking onsite but you do need to book.
Nothing, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I was greeted warmly by reception staff as well.

They couldn’t top up my tea bags after day one. I was also cold and couldn’t get an extra blanket so had to have room temp up high while I slept. Also behind the building is a path where many people walk down on their drunken nights so all hours of early morning the talking and yelling was disruptive to my sleeping.

Facility looks rather tired. Very disappointed that, after paying yourselves, we found that we needed to pay $10.00 extra fro having two single beds. That option was mentioned when we booked, but no indication of the extra charge. Furthermore, another extra charge ($15.00) was made when we parked on the Quest car park! Again, this was a hidden cost that should have been disclosed at the time of booking.
