Hotel berhampiran Omega Reserve di Auckland

The room met my expectations and more, was very clean and inviting, couldn't fault anything (except the dishwasher wasn't working, well I couldn't figure out how to get it going anyway) but that was no biggie. The staff were great and the location was perfect, so close to the motorway and easy to navigate around Albany. I think this was the first time I've had a room with a king bed that wasn't just 2 single beds pushed together, very happy for that! Bathroom was spotless and parking downstairs was easy. Will definitely be back!

I stayed for 1x night for a work trip and really enjoyed it. Or though i was only at the motel from about 8pm that night and checked out early the next morning i was super impressed. Im not sure why but i didnt expect much as we normally stay at the bigger hotel chains for work but i was super pleasantly suprised. The room was large and spacious, warm, cozy , nice big sofa to huddle up on and watch tv. I am gutted i couldnt take advantage of the spa bath as i ran out of time, but i would definately recommend Aristotles :)

We had a spa studio which was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The kitchenette had everything necessary and the room was a good size. The downside was the wifi - I was given a voucher which only allowed us to connect one device. The wifi kept disconnecting and the voucher expired very quickly - in fact I could not reconnect at 6am, having checked in at 5.00pm.

Avoid this place like the plague. I booked the “suite cabin” for three nights and although the bed was very comfortable and the reception team were really nice there is nothing else going for this “Hotel”. From the moment i stepped into the room i was hit with the overwhelming smell of musty air. I immediately opened the A/C cover to find what appeared to be 3 years of dust buildup. I reported to the reception and was advised that it would be cleaned in the morning and to my surprise, upon returning to the room at 5:30pm it had not been done and the room had not been serviced at all. The room was dirty with mould around the bathroom skirting, dirty hand/finger prints all over the walls, all of the crockery/cutlery and glassware had to be washed as they were all still un-clean, one if the bath towels had makeup on it, the a/c was filthy, the coffee table still had sticky stuff all over it from a spilled drink and there were spider web’s hanging from the bedside lamps. When i sent an email to ask if the rooms were serviced daily (as my room was not cleaned at all) i was told that i had the only key for the room, hence why the room was not cleaned, and was asked to leave the room unlocked so that the room could be cleaned. I’m sorry, what?.. The internet is the worst ever, constantly dropping out and for the three minutes that you do have a connection you cant even load a 1 minute Youtube video as it will just keep stopping, and then eventually drop out where you will have to reconnect again.. ughhh. The bar (on the hotel ground’s overlooking the Pool) was apparently a completely separately owned business and way over priced. A chicken Caesar Salad will set you back nearly $30 and a beer will cost you $15. These are prices that you would pay in a 5-Star hotel not a shabby motel bar. The owner of the bar was outside drinking with his “buddies” and when the bar had just closed 2 minutes earlier, and I attempted to get one drink, i was told that i could not be served as the bar had closed. I asked why the gentleman standing next to me was able to order a round of drinks for he and his friends, i was told that “he is the owner”. Righto! Great look Mr. Owner!! Stay away from this place, there is plenty of better places in the area and really good air bnb’s which is where i ended up.

I have visited hotels every 3 weeks for a few months now and this is definitely the best one yet for the size and price. We were in the family room with our son and were very happy with the toiletries provided and the cleanliness. The beds were very comfortable which is a must, as someone with a disability. The staff were pleasant and professional. Shower could've been a tad cleaner overall, but I'll certainly be back again soon. Thank you :)

Location The Quest is located in the north shore suburb of Albany. We only chose it because we have relatives living in Long Bay, whom we had come to visit. However, if you’re coming as a tourist to see the sights of Auckland, then this may not be the ideal place to be. To get to the city, for example, we would take an Uber to Devonport, and from there, it’s a short (approx. 20 mins) ferry ride into the city, but all up, for Uber and ferry fares it could cost between $NZ40-50 and take an hour and a half depending on traffic and the waiting time for the ferry. There might be a bus option but we didn’t investigate that. When it came time to leave Auckland, the cost of an Uber to the airport, leaving Quest at 1.30pm on a weekday, was $NZ85. The receptionist told us that despite the out of the way location, the Quest is popular with business travellers and that did make sense, because the Westfield shopping centre is nearby, and there’s a virtual satellite suburb surrounding the Westfield, with dozens of other businesses, shops, cafes and restaurants. The other reason, I guess people would stay here, is if, like us, they are visiting relatives who live in one of the outer north shore suburbs like Torbay, Long Bay, Browns Bay etc, but if I came here purely as a tourist, I would choose to be in the city. Despite its small size, the traffic in Auckland could be pretty horrendous at times, which just adds to your taxi or Uber costs. There isn’t much in the near vicinity of the hotel, apart from a few little shops and restaurants. But the aforementioned Westfield can be easily reached by Uber, or even on foot, although it isn’t a particularly pleasant walk, alongside the highway and it takes about 20-25 minutes. Most of the time, when visiting Westfield, we choose to Uber there and back, and that generally costs a modest $NZ8 or $9 each way. Apartment A comfy little lounge-room was the main feature of the apartment, with a wooden dining table with steel legs, four solid wooden chairs also with steel legs, a small desk and chair with a strong desk light and enough power points to charge all your appliances. There were two comfy lounge chairs in rather dark, sombre colours of olive green and brown, and far too many cushions for such a small space, so they continuously had to be rotated around to make room to sit. The smart TV had local channels as well as YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, pretty much everything you would need from a TV, including a fancy remote with a laser pointer. There was a little coffee table and the whole place was carpeted except for the bathroom and kitchenette, which was just as well, because despite it being mid summer, we found Auckland a cold place and on some days, temps got as low as 18 degrees, complete with wind and rain. Fortunately, the reverse cycle air con worked well, so we had it on heat at 27 degrees most of the time and that at least helped to keep the place warm. I don’t think that we ever used the cooling cycle.

I was disappointed in my stay at this hotel. While it’s location is convenient to many things it’s nearly impossible to find parking nearby. There is a small amount of parking in the basement but not enough for even a small fraction of total guests. Finding street parking in this area is a nightmare especially while local schools are in session. Our room was small but otherwise okay. Sadly the shower in our bathroom was very difficult to use without flooding the entire place. Some glass partitions or better fitting shower curtains were definitively needed. Our stay was also disrupted by ongoing construction noise from an adjacent building site. Not the hotel’s fault but annoying nonetheless. This facility clearly has a marketing deal with nearby Goodside. Goodside was hyped as ”an exquisite collection of Auckland’s finest boutique food and beverage restaurants - one of Auckland’s more delectable dining destinations.” So based on the hotel’s recommendation we braved the rain and went to check it out. It was neither delectable or even open in most cases. The best thing on offer was a Subway franchise. Some of the restaurants may have been open during the day but the place was dead in the evening. We were literally the only potential customers in the place. I don’t expect Goodside will survive much longer and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I also think it’s bad form that Quest endorsed it so favorably.

The location is not so good because we need to walk the steep road. The room walls are thin, I heard other people's talking. Otherwise, that was lovely stay!!
