Did not match description on website. Corridors and apartment doors looked like something from a cell block. Tile on kitchen floor broken, carpets looked dirty. Wardrobe door off runner. Bed linen and towels good. Had to question charges on checkout and ask for a receipt which i was not given, i asked the guy who checked me out to write down on my booking confirmation what i had been charged. They tried to overcharge me for parking, as i had email confirmation of the cost of parking he had no option but to refund me the difference. They should not charge you until you check out and agree the bill. Very disappointed i have booked other Quest apartments for my trip i hope the others are better than Ponsonby, not worth the money i paid.

Hello Guest,Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the apartment room did not meet your expectations. We take pride in our rooms and will use your feedback to improve our services. We have noticed that you are still upset about the car park charges, even though the refund has already been processed. Our website clearly displays the rate of 30 per night for parking. However, during your visit, you insisted on paying only 20 and caused a commotion at the reception. As a gesture of goodwill, we agreed to refund you the difference of 10. Please note that we require payment upon arrival as we are not open 24 hours.

Comfortable bed. Unfortunately staff comms weren't great. I called down at 7am to ask about a later check out (after arriving very late the night prior from overseas). the person couldn't help me and said they'd get someone to phone me back. Nobody did. I called another two times to be told the same thing. Eventually I spoke to a grumpy person on reception who eventually agreed to a 30 minute later check out time. if they had told me this at 7am when I first asked it would have been OK but to constantly ring and chase to then be met by someone write gruff wasn't the best service sadly.

Hello Guest,Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience caused, it was not our intention to do that. Our after-hours team is not part of Quest staff. It takes some time for them to send us the report for the call reports of the previous night. We kindly request you to give us a call during our working hours, which are from 7:30 am to 7 pm during weekdays and from 8 am to 4 pm on weekends.

Very convenient for the town. People in adjacent rooms were very noisy at 3am, so perhaps could do with more soundproofing. Overall though, the staff were helpful and friendly and I would stay there again.

Check in and check out are quirky. Be sure you know what time you are arriving and whether someone will be there to help you. Same with check out, which is a bit mysterious.

Room was clean and tidy. Not overly excited about no staff being present. But most disapointed by the fact that we were charged an additional $20 for using the carpark. That should have been notified at the initial booking phase....not buried in text! Bordering on deceitful

Hello Nick,Thank you for your feedback. Due to the long weekend our working hours had differed, however our after-hours team was still on call. If required, they would have assisted. Car parking charges are clearly mentioned when you make a booking, hence it is quite impossible to miss it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. While we pride ourselves on our prime location, we do understand that there may be some street noise due to the proximity of bars and restaurants. If you would like a quieter room during your next stay, please don't hesitate to request one located at the back of the building. We will be more than happy to accommodate your needs.

We were very satisfied with the one bedroom apartment. It was very clean and tidy and the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. It was a 15-20 minute walk to Auckland CDB. We would recommend the apartments and would book again if we revisited Auckland.

Thank you for your feedback. Our elevators are under annual maintenance check which needs to be undertaken for smoother functioning. We apologize that you found it difficult, however, please state the actual facts when posting online. Our housekeeping staff were the ones who helped you with the luggage, and they were the ones who assisted you the entire time. This situation is not under our control, however, we try our level best in helping our guests, which includes carrying their luggage to their room or giving them a room that is on the lower floors.

The two issues I had was paid parking and coming back late and no carparks in the garage and only spaces left are contracted parking spaces and red labelled parking... all threatening I would be towed. Also a Very heavy screen over the entire windows making the room look a prison. Thankfully I had the thought to look to see if they could be slid open. they can - but only half the window is cleared of obstruction. at least I got light on half the room... but if you are not strong.. you would not be able to slide them open. they are HEAVY

Hello Guest,Thank you for your feedback. We have two levels of car parking space available at our property, it is not designated to any room and any guest can park as long as they have their parking slips in place. If you have trouble finding a parking space, please inform the reception and we can happily guide you to the available spaces. All our windows can be opened from the inside.
