Quest Wellington

It was perfectly positioned for public transport from the airport. Two supermarkets within a couple of minutes walking and plenty of good food places within a 5 minute walk. The property was very clean and had a very large fridge/freezer plus everything you needed to cook for yourself. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful.

Booking a room at Quest Wellington on Hunter Street turned out to be a fun way to rediscover my own city. Part of the Quest chain, the hotel’s central location was perfect for my CubaDupa weekend—Wellington’s lively street festival. Being steps away from the action meant I could soak up music, food, and crowds late into the night without stressing about getting “home”. The best part? Letting myself in after midnight with the hassle-free electronic key system (no need to wait for staff, which was handy). Waking up in the heart of the city felt indulgent, like a mini-vacation without the travel. The hotel’s Art Deco roots give it a retro charm. Yes, the decor leans classic rather than modern, but the stone fireplaces and vintage details felt right at home in Wellington’s historic streetscape. My room was practical—kitchenette, comfy bed, solid shower—and kept clean. Staff were friendly during daytime interactions, though late-night arrivals are clearly designed for self-service (a plus for introverts or festival zombies like me). A highlight was wandering to Neo Café on Willis Street the next morning—a local favorite with killer coffee and breakfast bowls. The walkability here is a win: museums, shops, and the waterfront are all nearby. That said, if you’re driving, parking might be tricky (I skipped the car, but worth noting for road-trippers). Quest Wellington isn’t about glitz, but it nails convenience and character. Whether you’re hosting visitors, craving a staycation reset, or just want to lean into Wellington’s quirks, this spot delivers. Sometimes seeing your city through a hotel window is all it takes to remember why you love it.

Quest Wellington was a good place to stay. It was nice being able to walk around the CBD. The hotel was very clean and tidy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The unit was nice and spacious. There was numerous eateries close by. Overall a great place to stay.

Friendly Staff

The property was very well-situated and convenient for shopping, restaurants and activities. It was a good sized apartment and in the art-deco style, but the decor was tired and in need of refreshing. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the oven didn't work and the kitchen equipment would benefit from looking at. We enjoyed our stay, nonetheless and would stay there again.

Husband and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was good! Apartment had everything we needed (although I would suggest additional plates / cutlery etc are provided as 4 for each room means too have to set the dishwasher daily and/or wash up daily too!) and staff were very lovely. Room decor was average - definitely in need of an upgrade but clean, tidy and good value for what we payed. Very centrally located in the middle of all the shops, waterfront etc. Free access to the nearby City Fitness (5min walk away) was ideal - a real positive for me! Parking was at the nearby TSB Wilson car park (5min walk away) & NZD39 for a 24hr period - pretty in keeping with car parking charges within the city elsewhere. Would stay here again

Very convenient central location

Really lovely room,great location,great staff

Staff were lovely, rooms were clean. Unfortunately this is not in a safe location, as a woman staying by herself. I cannot recommend this hotel, as much as the staff are trying their best.

Everything was great, friendly, helpful staff, location was great and room and surroundings was perfect.
