Convenient to transportation and close to the harbor.
It was an amazing hotel. We appreciated excellent amenities and customer service. It was very convenient that we could do laundry in the room. We highly recommend this hotel. Thank you!
Superb rooms, great late check in service. Easy parking shame was $25 a night. Super clean rooms, had everything you need, spacious.
Nice apartment..very clean and excellent location
Always happy staying here. Staff always friendly and helpful. We had a glitch with booking over the internet via another website so we needed to ring to sort. Staff sorted this quickly and professionally. Great value for money.
Great
Great service nice room
The property was located within walking distance of where I was working in central wellington but within my price budget. Bed was very comfortable and air conditioning if I needed it. The room had everything I could have needed for a longer stay - washing machine etc and had disabled facilities as well in the event I needed them. Plenty of room and entertainment on screen. The hosts were friendly but not pushy. Overall I can't fault it.
A good location to walk around and see the sights. Rooms clean and had everything you needed. Parking is limited and you need to book and pay for a spot if you have a car. Very handy location if you are using Ferries. Good pubs and eateries nearby.
Apartment was clean and well equipped. Not many eating options close up
Great view of the harbour, fantastic service. Room is a good size and clean. Main shopping area is very closeby and walkable.
Very good location near motorway, clean, spacious
Walking distance to the train station, handy for the airport express bus. Perfect stay if you're at parliament or that part of town.
The place is really neat and tidy. Customer service is superb, friendly and really helpful
Property as great. Near the stadium which we had tickets to. Unfortunately road works right out front.
Had booked for 3 but one bed&towels were missing and we were charged extra for adding another bed
Lovely staff. Spacious room. Great room facilities. Loved the coffee machine.
Staff were nice and location was good. Unfortunately, the window did not open and so there was no way to get fresh air flow into the room.
The room space was good and clean. The area outside the property is under construction, including overnight work which could be heard in the room.
Room was excellent & comfortable with all the amenities that you would expect. Disappointing that no onsite parking available.
The property was good. Construction was going on around the property and parking was not available which made it extra work to find a place to park. It was still a good stay.
Very impressed with accommodation. Loved that it had laundry facilities Definitely recommend too others
Not your fault ,digging up water lines but overall easy to get around .
Nice room, but the info was not clear—no ovens in studios, we discovered when we arrived. No picture of the room showed the giant post in the middle of the pathway to the bathroom either, or the bolts that stuck out from it about 2cm at ankle level. It was between the closet and the bed (with about two feet clear on either side) and about two feet from the middle of the bathroom doorway. A real nuisance, even a hazard.
Good value for money.
Great location, excellent room, kitchenette and bathroom (It even had a washing machine and tumble dryer which was an added bonus.) Very large comfortable bed. Excellent all round Only negative - We bought continental breakfast boxes (as we had a very early ferry) but they were very poor contents / value
Always enjoy our stay@ Quest on Thorndon. Can’t fault it. Gr8 location& very quiet ✅
Exterior of the location was ok but the condition of the room was so poor and thousand of bugs was in the bed! I received approx 200 pinches. So bad
Great location near to the main railway station and just outside the CBD. Good facilities in the room and a good added bonus is the ability to use the gym next door…
Great location and easy access to stadium. Highly recommend if you are in town for an event
Really handy as we were getting on the bluebridge ferry, also convenient for bars and restaurants in the harbour. Stunning apartment at the top of the building!
Great location for train or ferry
Quest on Thorndon was convenient, comfortable with the in-room laundry and kitchen adding to the stay. The staff was great. We arrived on the Northern Explorer and a couple of days later left on the ferry to Picton so the proximity to the train depot and ferry port was a plus for us.
I didn't like no receptionist after 7pm
Perfect easy spot to spend some time in.
Great place to stay if you are catching the Interislander ferry.
Wonderful hotel stay
Excellent stay. Near Wellington train station and buses. Clean, helpfull staff, modern and ci fortable rooms.
Quest the best
A staple diet of quality and reliability Room and staff great set out , cosy but very useable . Only draw back is the extra cost and outdoor parking for hire car
Modern, tidy and clean accommodation with every convenience
Clean and functional. Loved having a washer and dryer. Had to walk a bit to get to restaurants, but super close to the stadium
It was a comfortable Hotel and the staff were very friendly and willing to help as needed.
Lovely stay, perfect for what we needed, clean and modern and nice and quiet. Will definitely stay again
Decent size room with everything you need. Friendly staff on the front desk at check in. Would stay here again!
Easy walk to town and very accessible to Bluebridge ferries.
Excellent facilities, friendly staff. Car parking with electric car charging point was a welcome bonus.
Very easy to find. Unfortunately we arrived in the dark and had trouble finding a parking spot. The after hours attendant was helpful
It was right next to the Marae - which was a big plus
Great stopover
One night stay. So was a comfortable sleep over. Used the washing machine and a nice walk to restaurants in vicinity. It’s a quest so don’t expect the usual hotel service but a great place to stay. No parking, street parking only. Can be difficult.
Lovely accommodation
Our whole stay was excellent. Chris on reception was professional, polite and very helpful as were all the house staff. Our main requirement was to relax and be close to the railway station ready for an early morning departure and the Quest exceeded all expectations. Thank you so much to everyone.
Very near Circular Quay and transport
Very good
Dark Living Room
The hotel is in a great location within walking distance of Parliament and historic buildings in Thorndon. Unfortunately our room was not as shown in the pictures as the living room was a dark cave with no natural light before the bedroom. Check that you are getting the one bedroom apartment layout in the picture
Excellent stay
Excellent, really beautiful apartment and very close to what we needed. The gentleman at the front stayed late to allow us to check in and they even emailed us about late checkin protocols. Excellent value, would stay again.
An extremely well equipped room. Great kitchen, bathroom with great products throughout.
Great place
Amazing apartment, had everything including a washer and dryer. Brilliant to be able to do laundry in the room. Great location, handy for the ferry which is the main reason I booked it. Easy walking distance to attractions etc. So clean and the bed was super comfy.
Very friendly and helpful staff, great location, spacious room
Absolutely brilliant accommodation staff, property, housekeeping, and location which was walking distance to everything. Thoroughly recommend this property to others and to not judge a book by its cover.
Such a quiet place for an overnight stay, comfy bed, great shower and awesome to have parking available. Would definitely stay here again.
Ok stay. Staff very friendly. Nothing special. Not in a great area, near the harbor
Very comfortable. Staff were exceedingly courteous and helpful. Highly recommended.
All good except for parking. No underground parks for a busy inner city apartment. Everything else was superb thank you.
Quiet, friendly staff with excellent amenities. Thank you have rebooked
Great spacious room suited us all very well. location perfect for us - able to walk and bus into town easily.
Quick & Easy check-in, friendly staff & room was good during our stay. Spacious room with comfy bed, kitchenette was handy and bathroom was nice. Things to know: -If you book via expedia and choose the 'Reserve now and pay at property' option, Quest have it in their T's&C's that they will charge you for your stay within 10 days of your stay. So you wont be able to pay at the property as the option intended -We got given one key card for the room which is used for the lights for the room to get in and out of the room. This means if there are two people, you'll be sitting in the dark if the other needs to leave the room. Not too bothered by the above as overall experience was still really good. More of an FYI
The hotel (Quest on Thorndon) was great! However, my experience through Expedia is not good! They cannot provide me with a GST invoice for my stay. This means I cannot claim this work expense back.
Great place
It was beautiful place and we had lovely time during our stay. We will wish to stay in future too.
Spacious, clean apartment close to the stadium and train. Walkable distance to CBD. Parking was available and service was great.
Really great communication from the staff regarding rollaway bed and parking. My daughter said the rollaway bed was the most comfortable and quiet one she'd slept in for a long time.
Service was good
Great lopcation for us and the apartment was excellent, providing all the facilities that we needed. Car parking faciliites were disappointing - parking was in front of shopping mall opposite the hotel. Whilst everything was OK, I had some concerns about the safety of the car overnight.
I stayed for a week for work. No one disturbed me. My room was clean and comfortable.
Very convenient for one night stays before ferry cross overs. Parking should be upgraded during day time.
It is what we have expected. Quest has always maintained its reputation when it comes to the quality of their rooms. Clean and well-maintained. Keep it up!
The staff were fantastic
We were given a large room, lots of space and good amentities. We only stayed two nights but could easily have set ourselves up for a week or longer, and been happy with the room. A great view of Pipitea Marae outside our window!
Great location, big space
WOW ! - from check in to check out - outstanding service. Beautiful room - outstanding service, helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend this as the place to stay. Thank you
Clean and spacious
Was not very happy that there was no hot water for showers.
Contrary to their website they do not have onsite parking so even though we advised we were coming from CH CH with a vehicle upon checking in were no there is no parking after an 8 hour trip we had to go looking for overnite parking
Nice spacious room and comfortable bed. Was handy having a washing machine and dryer in the room too as we were travelling. Location was handy to the ferry terminal as well. Only negative would be the parking which isn’t great and there reception hours close at 6pm which for a hotel is quite early, other than that we had a pleasant stay.
Clean, practical accommodation. Good variety of nearby restaurants and cafes nearby.
The staff I spoke to were just great and helpful. No hassle with arrival and checking out and the room was clean and well maintained.
Spacious rooms, good wifi, in room laundry facilities, basic cooking facilities, friendly staff. Lacked sufficient storage space for clothes, no in room safe.
Clean, spacious, and comfortable. Love the access to all the free movies, and the gym 20m walk across the road. Just fantastic.
loved the location and loved the room it was very modern and beautifully cleaned every day with fresh towels as well.
Great location they made late check in very easy.
The location is perfect for the Interisland Ferry and Train station transfers.
Verry nice
Service was really good. Initial car park given was not the greatest but friendly staff help me relocate. Room is very good for the price
Very good amenities and location ok. Parking limited but can book park for $20 per day. Staff friendly and helpful.
All staff very polite and helpful, very handy to amenities restuarants etc.
Farewell
Very handy location for our purposes. Spacious and comfortable, quiet.
The property was easy to get to, arriving out of hours assess instruction were easy to follow and action. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Chose of free movies to watch was great. Overall I liked staying here.
Great location if using the train or ferry. Close to train station and there is a shuttle from the ferry terminal to the train station.
A splurge but astounding service and comfort
Huge, comfortable room with all the conveniences. Ariel, the receptionist was outstandingly helpful, patient, professional and effective in getting back the camera and phone I had left in the van from the airport and it helping get back my lost luggage from Air New Zealand. The reception "closes" at 7:00pm but they made sure that some staff would be available to receive my luggage and other items if they arrived after 7 pm.
Reception person was friendly and she rang my phone on the day. Checked into the room as soon as you Open the door it smelled. Needed airing out as room was not pleasant. Liked the welcoming sign on the tv but I felt like it went over board as no need Write full name there. The bathroom was all in one but water Went over the floor as there no box To keep the water in one area. When checking out no one was on the desk to Return the Kay but saw a lock box there And put it there. I emailed let know it was put in the box and they did respond.
Overall ok place to stay in wellington
Overall it’s a good place to stay. The parking spot is a bit small and they forgot to clean our place on the 2nd day of our stay. But overall it’s an ok stay.
Staff were very friendly and the room was clean, had the amenities we wanted and was relatively quiet.
Great view from our room. Warm and cozy. Exceptionally clean. The only thing was the bed, felt like springs were completely broken on one side of the bed, so wasn’t particularly comfortable to sleep. Great value overall.
It was clean and spacious but there were no carparks available when we arrived which was a bit inconvenient and the noise from someone using a clothes dryer late at night next door was very loud and intrusive in our room Pretty decent location near the beehive and 30minute walk to Cuba street
