Property dated. We had a room looking out to the carpark but there was noreal good view from any side of the property. Close enough to eating area without the noise. This was central point for us to do day trips to rotorua surrounds so it was convenient. We also booked here because it was a one bed apartment style accommodation.

I booked this hotel for the hot tub. It’s actually a bath. No jets, you fill it each use like a tub. Also, view is a back alley. Surrounding area is ok. It was vastly overpriced and I don’t understand the “wonderful” rating. Pros: great bed, laundry & kitchen if you need that Cons: not a nice area, expensive if you just need the bed (as opposed to Pullman or Sofitel), no safe, no bathroom counter, phone booth shower One lady at the front desk was absolutely wonderful. Very helpful with recommendations on touring and dining. If you happen to be there during the night market/food trucks - go!!! It was great. Also the French bistro next door was lovely

Quest apartments provides exceptional value. The staff provided exceptional customer service and could not help us enough. The moment I walked into the room I was taken back by the quality modern layout of the amenities from the full size kitchen accommodating a laundrette, spacious bathroom, to the expansive living area with numerous luxury appointments. We could not have asked for any better and provided exceptional value for money. The location was ideal walking distance to the locals shops and restaurants. Quest apartments are now ranked high on our preferred list for accommodation.

The highlight of the stay was the outdoor, yet sheltered, spa pool in the balcony. Perfect for the rainy weekend. The room was modern, stylish and comfortable. Though we were lucky to be able to secure the last parking lot behind the hotel, there were ample street parking just a short walk away. The street was pretty quiet, but I would expect might get noisy on Night Market day (Thursday?).

We liked Karen she was kind and helpful. We did not like we paid for room with hot tub on balcony but what it actually was is a spa bath that took an hour to fill. We did not like that the house keeping only made a bed and didn’t provide fresh linen. We did not like the tv didn’t work for entire stay. We do not like when asking for reasonable compensation they have handled it with extreme rudeness and have failed to address the issues brought to their attention in person or email. Do not recommend and wouldn’t stay again. But Karen on reception is a kind genuine person and we appreciate you

Horrible service
Don't expect friendly service. As a guest, I felt like I was an inconvenience to them. For example when the receptionist found out I had given her my first name not last name when asked for name name at check in, she gave a very rude and unimpressed look. She then tried to blame me for why the reservation could not be located as she was searching the system for only last names. After the horrible check in experience, I then found out they were also performing an early morning pressure cleaning of the rooms windows. This was not advised prior to booking. When asked what time, the response was just "very early". I am a light sleeper so I had been looking forward to a good night of sleep before an important meeting the next day. So I asked if I could move rooms or (given I booked at 3pm on the day and this happened minutes after booking) if I could cancel so I could move to a different hotel where my sleep would not be disturbed. I was told there was no other rooms available and they refused to provide a refund. Eventually after I persisted they found another room. I see when you search the hotel online you can see they have never in years apologised to any negative reviews and instead blame guests. This was consistent with my experience.
