Parking is a nightmare - very tight spots! Good to have washing machine in the room but dryer is not effective. No pool as advertised on photos at this property. Location is good but you need to get a lift down to the street level across the road.

The staff were very helpful and the rooms clean. The reason why this does not get five stars from me is the lack of double glazing as it can be noisy in the CBD due to construction and refuse collection.

Disappointed

Receptionist was lovely but disappointed. Accomodation gave the impression it had a pool but this was located down the road. We had booked for 4 but there were only 3 forks and glasses. The information in the room said daily room service but during the stay we were informed rooms weren’t serviced on a Sunday. The shampoo was empty. Air conditioner outside room was noisy all night. Needed an upgrade.

Noisy if facing the road

The apartments are definitely showing signs of age and wear - which that in itself I don’t mind, how many of our houses are kept brand new? What was challenging for me was the loud road noise. Amazing balcony for fresh air, light and view but sadly paper thin and kept me awake at night with road noise

Very poor. Lack of parking availability, pool is not on the premises (mislead by the photo), 3 day stay and no cleaning or servicing, poorly equipped kitchen facilities. Damp towels left for us and no one around to have swapped. Washer dryer not working, bathroom fan not working. The whole floor smelt overwhelmingly of curry the entire stay. Window won’t open, view into a wall of very close apartments and the noisy motorway. Won’t be back.

Average at best

It’s a dated property and staff were friendly however the unit itself was not what we expected from the Quest brand. The location is not bad however the property really needs to be renovated. Our sliding door did not close or lock properly. The kitchen utensils and pots were not clean, and it just wasn’t up to standard overall. So we were a bit disappointed overall however the front staff were professional and helpful.

We booked this accommodation as we have stayed at Quests before and like their high standards. This property was clean but very dated. We stayed in room 7C - Needs maintenance - sink tap loose, shelf in bathroom loose. No shampoo/soap in dispenser in shower (which I would have used my own, but thought this time I'd try Quests - too late to jump out once in), shower floor does not seem right. Road noise from motorway is terrible. It does have everything you should need from washer/dryer, cooking facilties. Easy to access main street. Parking - we parked on street as our Ute would not fit in the last parking space. I have decided I have champagne taste, but want budget cost.. so probably my fault in the booking. I don't feel the photos matched what I booked. But all in all to be honest, one night was fine. I would not book again though unless it gets a refurb. Your staff are friendly, welcoming, helpful and pleasant.

We only stayed for 1 night on our way to the south island. Even though the hotel is within walking distance of so many restaurants, there are definitely several downside with staying at this place. The hotel page didn't notify that parking is available with a fee ONLY if you request it when we make the booking. We weren't aware of this, but lucky enough there was a spot available. The parking lot itself is a nightmare as there's only one way in and out. The drive up to the upper lever parking lot is very narrow, it doesn't suit a car bigger than hatchback or sedan. Getting to the hotel in a car is a little chaotic, so please do your research if you plan to drive to the hotel. The room is pretty small and the shower's hole cover keep floating when the shower is on. Ever though the room is equipped with washer/dryer which is great for our overall trip, the level that our room is in has a very strong odour from the long term residents' cooking. There are plenty of room refreshers in the hallway, but it doesn't seem like it worked against the odour
