The hotel rooms were immaculate, not a spot of dirt on the floor, providing an absolute pleasure stay. They felt more like an apartment than a hotel room. However, having luggage racks/stands would have been beneficial to avoid suitcases on the floor. The room felt smaller than the advertised 34 sqm, which could be a bit claustrophobic.

The rooms were pristine and felt more like an apartment, though lacking luggage racks/stands. They were smaller than expected.

The staff were absolutely lovely and attentive. They promptly fulfilled requests for items like toilet paper and milk. I would definitely stay again if in Wellington.

The hotel's location was handy to the railway station and close to attractions. However, it was a bit out of the main hub, and the absence of an on-site gym affected accessibility. The inventory in the room lacked bowls and glasses beside the apartments.
Dining
7.0
The dining experience was good and nutritious. I enjoyed the meal offered in the main restaurant. However, the pack of unrecognizable food was not up to standard for the price.
Facilities

The hotel offers a range of facilities such as a washing machine and tumble dryer. Despite lacking some inventory like bowls and glasses, the hotel provides essential amenities for a comfortable stay.

The hotel was really clean and tidy, very comfortable overall. There was some kind of intermittent building noise that could be heard from my room which was a bit bothersome, but it didn't affect my overall stay. The service was top-notch, with quick responses to emails and genuine kindness from the staff. The location was superb, just perfect for my needs, and the dining experience, although with some unnecessary packaging, was quite good.

I had a pleasant stay at the Quest on Thorndon. The rooms were large, clean, and well-equipped with a kitchen and washing machine, but could use some minor improvements. The service was excellent, with the staff being friendly and helpful, although it's worth noting that service is only available during office hours. The location, while not in the main hub, was within easy walking distance of key spots in Wellington. The dining experience was good, although the excessive packaging was a drawback. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
