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 #### herbert 24 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel is in a beautiful large older house in the Ponsonby neighborhood. Our room was large and comfortable. It was a short walk from the hotel to a street lined with restaurants, cafes, shops and bars. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again. ##### herbert Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne 4 Jan 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan 9 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hosts; very clean comfortable rooms; great breakfast. A little oasis in the city. Highly recommended. ##### Bryan Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### George 8 Feb 2025 Handy for the restaurants and shops in Ponsonby and close to the city. But the room was cramped and in need of a makeover. ##### George Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Christina 5 Oct 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 21 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay was short but amazing. 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 #### Darren 24 Feb 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 #### Chela 4 Nov 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen 11 Mar 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Samantha 27 Sept 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 #### Peri 1 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was bit like stepping back in time, back to honesty and trust. They offer a free drink, if you want more you write down what you had, for eg. No full length mirror. Also no shower cap! Otherwise everything you could want. Very quiet. Nice rooms. ##### Peri Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Candace 7 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Looking for a unique stay with friendly staff?
