Guest Ratings & Reviews
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 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.
