Quest Albany

very nice stay，comfortable, convenient

Early check in was no problem. Arrived two hrs earlier than our expected early check in time and the apartment was already ready! Clean and spacious for our family of 5 adults. Apartment was set with 5 single beds just as asked. Service was efficient and they were able to gladly offer extra towels and detergent when we asked for more. Westfield shopping center only a couple of minutes drive away. Location just as we wanted, away from the busy city but still convenient with shops and good restaurants close by.

The alarm was set for the middle of the night and woke me up. I thought I'd turned it off only for it to go again so I unplugged it.

We arrived in Auckland on an overseas flight at 5:30 AM. I booked a room for the previous night so we could have access to our apartment as soon as we got to the hotel. Communication with the hotel was excellent and they made sure someone would be at the hotel to greet us. Otherwise they will make arrangements for you to pick up your key. We parked in the gated garage, which is an extra $10 per night, then up to our room by elevator. Very pleased with our accommodation. The best stocked kitchen I’ve seen in a long time. Nice little dishwasher under the oven, cooktop, spacious refrigerator. Full sized washer and dryer in the bathroom with a packet of laundry detergent. We had a king sized bed in a separate room, nice lounge area, dining table and chairs. Good A/C. Nice that the windows in both lounge and bedroom opened for fresh air. There isn’t a lot of flat surface space for toiletries and such and no drawers or dresser for clothes. Other than that we were completely happy with our 3 night stay. This was our third visit to NZ so we didn’t want to be in the CBD but wanted a place in the north end of the city as that was the direction we would be heading when leaving Auckland. There are restaurants and cafes just a few minutes walk from the Quest, a nice park right behind the hotel for strolling, a short drive to the New World grocery store. Easy access on to the highway to head north. All the staff we encountered were lovely and we really enjoyed our quiet stay here to recover from jet lag. If you’re not doing touristy things in Auckland I’d definitely stay here.
