this property is more like a college dorm/apartment than a hotel and i have rated it accordingly. to be a standard hotel the carpet and furnishings need a substancial upgrade. that being said the location is great. less than 5 mins walk to the harbour, and right in the middle of restaurants and shopping. even with the worn appearance it was clean and the staff was friendly. recommend it as a reasonable option if you are ok with the modest vibe.

It was a disappointing room, very dark and cold - unfortunately just quite small and dingy. I have stayed in this property before and had a great experience - but wondered if I got a lesser room because I booked through Wotif. Having said that, the team themselves were excellent, super friendly, helpful and attentive.

Our room was very nice, Lots of amenities. Bathroom was quite small and shower was tiny—when I bent over to pick up my comb my bum and head hit the walls! I was all excited to be able to do laundry, however my excitement was squashed when the machine didn’t work. Also, the hotel description says there is limited hotel parking, however you need to book it ahead of time. We luckily found street parking which worked well for me.

Generally a good stay. Nice clean tidy facilities. Just the temperature in the rooms was a bit hot and no cooling other than opening windows or a desk fan so overheated a little.

Location excellent, the experience a bit meh
This was a one night booking to bring two teenagers down to WOW. Location was ideal, right in the heart of central Wellington, just 6 minutes walk to TSB Arena, and within moments of some great cafes and shopping, plus the waterfront area. Paid more than I should have for a 2 bedroom unit to give us all some space. The lobby is basic but what you expect from Quest. The unit appeared clean but we didn't use the kitchen. Beds were reasonably comfortable. Bathroom quite pokey. Perfectly functional for a short stay. Only complaints were two: there was no soap in the shower soap dispenser (annoying to discover once you're in the shower) and secondly once in bed/lights off discovered with my feet a cap inside the sheets at the end of the bed. This was somewhat disturbing and made me question if the sheets had actually been changed after the last visitors stayed in this unit. Both concerns were raised upon check-out and to her credit the staff member immediately apologised and acknowledged the unpleasant finding of the cap, and refunded me 20% of the rate paid. This was greatly appreciated.
