We loved our stay! Great, walkable location but it's dead quiet and insulated from street noise/craziness. We had a super easy and quick check in, friendly service and easy access. The room was clean with great amenities for a long stay - nespresso, oven, fridge, dishwasher and washer/dryer combo with laundry detergent process -and a comfy room with a good bed/pillows, table and tv. Water pressure is great ad the hot water never ran out. Stay was great, especially for the price. Quest is reliable and consistent at a super affordable rate.

Great staff, very helpful and courteous. Room allocated was good size and comfortable bed. The 10am checkout these days is too early, expressly if you have a late afternoon flight to catch. Change it to the standard 11am checkout. Location is handy to public transport and city wide access to shopping and eateries.

This was ideal for what we needed in Wellington. Centrally located with the cable car within 300m meaning we could walk to the harbour side or catch the cable up to Zelandia & the botanical gardens. Loads of restaurants within a 10 minute stroll. Rooms large, comfortable & well equipped.
