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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 11 Mar 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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 18 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Somewhere different. Interesting hotel in a great location. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason 10 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I spent three nights at the Art Hotel with great rooms, lovely service and I would recommend for singles and couples who want to be near everything but still have piece and quiet and with the bonus of free parking and full breakfast service. ##### Jason Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANTHONY 21 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice unique property. ##### ANTHONY Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane 25 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Absolutely charming. ##### Diane Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 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 ### 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Phoenix](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phoenix-Hotels.d178298.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mercure Auckland Queen Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Mercure-Auckland-Queen-Street.h63852488.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coach & Horses Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Coach-Horses-Inn.h6419637.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Emerald-Inn.h6317232.Hotel-Information) > > [M Resort Spa Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Las-Vegas-Hotels-M-Resort-Spa-Casino.h12028553.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Malahide Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malahide-Castle-Hotels.0-l6086187-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Avani Auckland Metropolis Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Avani-Auckland-Metropolis-Residences.h6374088.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Sai Baba of Shirdi temple](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sai-Baba-Of-Shirdi-Temple-Hotels.0-l6148442-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Lincoln.h4727239.Hotel-Information) > > [Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Cordis.h8072.Hotel-Information) > > [Naumi Hotel Auckland Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Naumi-Hotel-Auckland-Airport.h10062481.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Finsbury Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Finsbury-Park-Hotels.0-l6178279-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Auchterarder](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels.d4317.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Denmark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Denmark-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d47-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Capsule Hotels Sweden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sweden-Capsule-Hotels.d173-aaCapsuleHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Grand Millennium Auckland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Grand-Millennium-Auckland.h408966.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Auckland Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Novotel-Auckland-Airport.h4223624.Hotel-Information) > > [The Convent Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-The-Convent-Hotel.h57330689.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Hotel Auckland Wynyard Quarter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-Travelodge-Hotel-Auckland-Wynyard-Quarter.h48652636.Hotel-Information) > > [SkyCity Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auckland-Hotels-SkyCity-Hotel.h40995.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Hulhulé (MLE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/mle/edinburgh-to-male) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Sydney (SYD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/syd/london-to-sydney) ### Cars ### Packages > [Vouliagmeni Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vouliagmeni.d4326.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Alaska Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alaska.d203.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Walt Disney World® Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Walt-Disney-World-Resort-Orlando.d6034120.Attraction) ---
