We recently stayed three days at this property prior to embarking on a cruise. We enjoyed the convience of staying on Queen Street and the close walking proximity to the Viaduct and Explorer Bus.
The bed was comfortable and we like the fact that the bedroom was separated by a sliding door from the rest of the living space. This was convient when my husband wanted to sleep in and I had work to do on the computer in the living room.
The washer/dryer came in handy, as we were traveling around North Island the previous five days. The water pressure in the shower was the best we have seen. The small kitchen was well stocked with the necessary utensils. The hotel provided us with breakfast packs every morning. We enjoyed the cereal, toast, juice and coffee prior to our day sightseeing.
Previous comments on the noise are correct. While we expected the normal big city noise, a large building is in the process of being consruction across the street. We would only hear construction noise during the day (8-5), which did not bother us as we were out and about the city.
We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay again. We received a great value for the price we paid.

Stayed here in early December 2007.

Didn't get off to a good start because the airport shuttle bus driver dropped me off at the wrong Quest apartments resulting in a 10 minute walk along very busy Queen st, dragging luggage.
However that had nothing to do with the Hotel. Check in was easy and the receptionist was very bright & helpful. My room was exactly what I expected with queen bed, dishwasher, washing machine etc.
and a balcony with a great view of Queen st ( I could see where I'd walked with my luggage lol )

The next morning dawned very, very early with the construction site next door starting at 7.00am. I don't mind this time normally, but not when I'm on holiday.

This combined with the night sounds of a CBD hotel anywhere in the world didn't make for a good sleep.

If you are looking for a convenient place to stay in the heart of Auckland, this is the place for you. If you want peace & quiet, stay somewhere else

We stayed at Quest on Queen between June 10-13, 2007 and would highly recommend it!

Having read some mixed reviews earlier on the net, I was prepared for certain things! However, barring the after reception hours check-in process which needs to be better, the stay was really a delightful experience.

The apartments are modern, well put together and well serviced. It was a pleasure to have fresh towels every day, a cleaned room and replenished supplies. The location is excellent and the value is very competitive.

Ngawai Walden, the General Manager, adds her warmth and helpfulness to the experience, making it one we remember with a great deal of fondness!

I have to agree with what is written two further down. I stayed here for three days together with my wife beginnig of March. The rooms were really okay with everything you can wish for for that price level. The location is as convenient as it gets.

But the construction site right next too the building is pure noise terror.

In the two days (had to leave really early) we were there, you could not see progress in takening the house down. But they were trying really hard, starting around 7 in the morning. No way you can sleep through that without earplugs!

Give it an other year for the construction to be done and I will recommend the hotel. But for now, better stay away.
