Our host made us feel at home. The house and rooms are charming and had everything we needed. The grounds are great and inviting. We had a little rain but still enjoyed the birds and the quiet atmosphere. The views on to the city and sky tower are perfect. Walking to dinner was not a problem and we had awesome Cambodian food at Tinfenys in the ponsonby central food court. ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne Jan 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Great Ponsonby is a place full of character and quirky… we loved it! All the staff are so kind, friendly and helpful. They even did our laundry! Breakfast was great. Lots of places to dine within very easy walking distance. Wish we could have stayed longer. ##### Anne Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Chela Nov 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved the neighborhood that this property is in, particularly that it was walkable to good food, quiet at night, and had a nice small park nearby. The staff were great and very accommodating and helpful. What the property lacks is privacy -- other visitors hanging out outside of their rooms talking sounded like they were in our room, and if our blinds were open, anyone could see in. Overall, though, I would stay here again. ##### Chela Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Christina Oct 5, 2024 Liked: Staff & service A great, quiet location to explore Ponsonby and surroundings. The street was very quiet however the buildings are pretty dated and it was loud whenever the next room used the shower/bathroom. The rooms could do with a refurbishment but the staff were so lovely and accommodating. ##### Christina Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Samantha Sep 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was great, staff was so friendly and helpful. Only downside (but a large one), the bed was uncomfortable. Super soft and difficult to sleep. Plus not many king size options so we opted for Queen but I’m a toss/turner at night, so next to husband didn’t sleep great. But everything was clean, great space for the room, and a great location next to restaurants and had free parking. ##### Samantha Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel right in the heart of Ponsonby Lovely hotel in a quiet street just off the main road of Ponsonby. Terrific location, right near one of Auckland’s best eating districts. Service was very friendly and the hotel was quiet. Would definitely stay again. ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a wonderful two nights stay here - especially since we walked to dinner both nights and there are so many restaurants just a few blocks away. Out also quite close to downtown Auckland, the harbor and Sky Tower. The room itself was fine - had everything that was advertised. There was even a cute little courtyard right outside our unit of we had wanted to linger (we didn’t as we were only there two days and had so much we wanted to see and do). ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darren Feb 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A lovely place in a quiet neighbourhood, just a couple of minutes walk from some of the best eating & drinking in Auckland - you could spend weeks here and never eat at the same place twice. The ArtHotel itself is lovely - we stayed in a small apartment which had everything we needed. The staff were lovely and gave us all the space & privacy we needed, while the ArtHotel had plenty of social options for those who like that sort of thing. We'll definitely stay there again when we return to Auckland. ##### Darren Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Paddy Feb 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Enjoyed our stay would stay again ##### Paddy Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peri Dec 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was bit like stepping back in time, back to honesty and trust.
