Quest on Hobson was a very convenient location and a great value for the price. Communication is excellent. Rooms are very clean. Staff is really friendly and helpful. They make up the beds and change towels every afternoon. We really appreciated the washer and dryer in the unit. Check-in directions are very clear. If you check in after hours, you need to call and wait for the night manager. There isn’t much of a view for apartments on the lower levels - looking into another building. Some rooms on upper floors have spectacular views. There are a few minor cosmetic issues that aren’t important but a totally new apartment hotel would cost twice as much.
Sky Tower/Sky City (Weta Workshop Unleashed, All Blacks Experience, etc) are on the next block. It’s a 14 minute walk to the ferry terminals (Waiheke Island , Rangitoto Island, etc). “Best Ugly Bagels” is a block away. They make bagels in house and have King salmon from Marlborough Sound if you like smoked salmon and cream cheese.
