Came up for a concert that was cancelled

Pretty close to shops and bars

Didn’t realise it was more of a bed and breakfast. Didn’t like how everyone was looking through your windows and it was more like staying at someone’s house

7.0 / 10.0

Overpriced and disappointing for what was meant to be a special stay in Auckland

The location

Very expensive but cheap, old furnishings and decor- and pokey room. Breakfast with tinned - not fresh fruit! ( lovely staff though).

Excellent small hotel, would recommend to singles or couples.

Excellent location, quiet but a short walk to bars and restaurants. Very boutique feel. Very strong shower and nice to have wine and beer you could buy if you didn’t want to walk up to the main road.

8.0 / 10.0

Great location for Ponsonby restaurants and cafes.

Room was comfy and location was great. Having access to kitchen facilities and a free welcome drink was a nice touch. We love the vibe of Ponsonby so it was in an excellent location for us.

There was building work next door which started at 7:30am so it was quite noisy in the mornings. Hopefully that doesn’t last too long.

Position in a well-to-do area on the hill above Auckland central. A 30 minute walk down hill to the city centre. The large communal lounge. The free real coffee facilities.

Room was a little small.

8.0 / 10.0

A quirky, arty comfortable place to stay not far from the city centre.

It was lovely being in an older quirky individually decorated house, with verandas, leadlights and artworks rather than the usual anonymous look of most hotels. The cooked and/or continental breakfast included was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is in a very good area, with lovely little Tole park nearby and many restaurants and cafes on Ponsonby Road, 5 minutes walk away and on the Inner bus route.

It wasn't quite as luxurious as it sounded on the website and I thought it was rather overpriced, but still very nice. The window rattled or branches of a big shrub outside disturbed my sleep on my first night, but I was able to change rooms and then had no more trouble sleeping.

Location was excellent, close to restaurants & shops in Ponsonby. Excellent breakfast cooked to order. Staff were helpful & friendly. Appreciated the welcome drink.

Room had a slightly odd smell. Bed was a bit too soft for our liking.

Location was fantastic, the bed was extremely comfortable, the room was very well appointed, great to have opening windows and doors to get that fresh air in, all in all exceptional!

Lovely place to stay

It’s a lovely place to stay. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing. I would definitely recommend it . It’s close to shops and lots of places to eat and a pleasant walk to the city and harbour.

Perfection

My reality around this experience was one of Wow. I built a Castle here in New Zealand over 34 years which still is a destination. It was voted as third most romantic destination in the world by Airbnb in 2017 . ArtHotel is a bespoke microcosm of loveliness in Auckland and honestly the wee touch of dressing gowns was magical and sums up the experience. Staff were perfect in every respect. Pricing was humble and I will most definitely book again.

This is a cute stay

10.0 / 10.0

Fabulous! Definitely recommend and I’ll be back for sure

I loved how Homely it felt as soon as I arrived. Also the colours and art ♥️. The staff were lovely and daily breakfasts were amazing 🤩. I was there for 5 nights as I had training in Auckland. It was quiet so I got great rest each night too.

Most enjoyable stay in a great location

Very central location and being in a cul-de-sac it was very quiet. The rooms were beautifully decorated, quite different to your standard hotel room. Room was very clean and would definitely stay again.

Car parking was very limited and we had to park on the street.

9.0 / 10.0

Colorful and comfortable

This is a unique place that I found quirky at first, but it's comfortable and colorful, with lots of room to enjoy. It was the last B&B on my journey, and I'm glad I chose it, because I could spread out and feel at home. It was also the first with a set of uninterrupted movie channels (unlike other places with basic cable). It would make a great long-term, temporary home! The kitchenette has about everything one needs, including a mini-bar stocked with good wines, sodas, etc. Sofie makes delicious breakfast and guests feel very welcome. The location is great, too, making it easy to get to know the area while taking long, leisurely walks for sightseeing, dining and shopping. I'll always have fond memories of my stay at the hotel.

Not being able to stay longer!

Charming stay, excellent location

A charming place to stay on a peaceful street off the main road in Ponsonby, just a quick walk to some excellent bars, cafes and restos. A bit of a blast from the past, in a good way - I loved the quirky old decor, and it was so nice to have a personal welcome and chat with the lovely staff, great to stay somewhere that still feels like a classic B&B, rather than the cold, code-entry, cookie-cutter airbnb experience these days!

We enjoyed it and would do it again

A very comfortable place, we felt right at home, like being at a relative’s home, having so many good restaurants so close by was a plus

King size bed in the “penthouse” could be a bit firmer

If we ever come back to Auckland, we will definitely want to come back to your friendly place.

Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Happy to assist with anything. We were so thankful to be able to check in several hours early, which was wonderful after a very long flight and jet lag. At checkout, we were able to leave our luggage there for about an hour, so we could get our rental car and then come back and get our bags.

Can’t think of anything.
