2-night staycation in a studio. The room was fine for the time we were there - small but had all the necessary facilities. Comfortable king bed, shower with great water pressure, fridge/freezer. The best thing about this hotel is the location. At the K rd end of Ponsonby road, you have all the dining options you need, shop till you drop, supermarket round the corner, amazing park across the road…the list goes on. Would definitely stay again for this reason alone.

The booking was made with the slip of a finger and despite both expedia and myself trying to reason with them, they refused to refund a few minutes later. We have used Quest for friends and family a lot in the past, no more.

Great place and location. Lovely staff, good service, a lot better organised this time with checking in after hours and car park. Lovely room, SKY TV was good. TV Remote might need new batteries and it was lagging at times.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The bathroom had some cracked tiles that trapped water every time I took a shower, and it ended up seeping into the carpet. The rooms weren’t soundproof either, so being right on the main road, you could hear a lot of noise from outside. That said, the staff were super helpful. --- Would you like me to make it sound a bit more friendly or keep this straightforward tone?
