Quest Wellington

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 Cafe 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.

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

Couldn't find a huge amount wrong with this hotel. Nice large bathroom, washe/dryer combo. Great hot water pressure. Spacious room. Two things that I identified as problems for me and not necessarily anyone else were the gand basin water pressure went from low to full soaking the floor in about an 1/8 of a tap movement. Secondly, the mattress was a tad lumpy for my old body. As stated these are me issues and not a reason not to stay at this lovely Art Deco styled hotel.

Nice big, comfortable rooms. The location is close to everything. Friendly, fast, and flexible service. Aircon would have been nice, but a fan was fine.

Beautiful studio stay and best spot in CBD everything is in walking distance, the hotel has a character of its own makes you feel nostalgic! The staff are super friendly and amazing!

Lovely place,close and walking distance to everything,secure parking and would stay there again

Great place to stay, smack right in the middle and near alot of great places to eat, supermarket and more. Really convenient
