Two nights here during the England cricket tour in March, so first off it was too far from the stadium but that's my fault. We chose to stay in Ponsonby because it has a great reputation for nightlife. True enough, it's got good restaurants/bars but book to avoid disappointment! However, having also had a night on the waterfront in downtown... More

Had a function to attend in Ponsonby so chose to stay at Quest Ponsonby. The rooms were small but perfect as we only needed a bed for the night. Reception was friendly and efficient and parking was offered underneath for a small extra charge.

Accommodation is OK if a little expensive and we had to contend with a party next door on one of the 3 nights we stayed. But we really resented being deceived by the manager about our booking for which we ended up paying twice. He has declined to negotiate a fair outcome.

Team meeting and we booked double rooms - one for the girls and one for the boys. They were huge. Both the boys and girls had two units each. The middle area, with doors opening into a shared kitchen/lounge area. Was spacious, clean and enjoyed. Thanks.

We recently stayed at this hotel and were not very impressed. We were let down from the start by this hotel. When we arrived on a Sunday night the front door was closed and locked and no staff were at the front desk. We had to buzz a certain number and then wait for someone to buzz us in after... More

One room had a 1 bedroom suite with a lounge,dining table and full kitchen facility. There was also a big bathroom too. On the other side of the room was a studio type room with its own mini... More

We stayed for 2 weeks in one of the serviced apartments. Very good size and all the facilities. Huge bed and you could have a party in the bathroom. They charge extra for parking and internet. The internet fare is obscene, this s the main negative point. Apart from that everything else was good. Rooms facing Ponsonby road are noisy.

Well located in Ponsonby with good access to the city and motorways; good quality no frills accommodation. Good carpark. One of my favourite ethnic restaurants is only a few steps away and there is some quirky shopping also within a minutes walk.

We stayed at this hotel last weekend while in AKL for a 40th. The room was clean, tidy and functional, but small. The 3 is not because it was bad, it was just not memorable. We got in late and left early, but I am not sure I would have wanted to spend any time in the room anyway.

This is a generic Quest hotel in 'trendy' Ponsonby. Maybe a bit too close to the 'K road' as our two nights were disturbed by noisy guests. Charging for internet access and local free numbers was unnecessary. As an overseas visitor, next time I visit Auckland I would stay in the city rather than suburbs.
