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.

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).

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.

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.

Had a great welcome from the host and was very helpful. The room was pretty dated but very clean. Not sure about other rooms but the sheets felt a little damp, not sure whether that was just Auckland on this day.

A lovely hotel. A bit shabby around the edges, perhaps, but clean and well-maintained and full of bright charm and character. The neighborhood is predominately residential: the quiet streets are lined with attractive homes. Just up from the hotel is the main road, with loads of good cafes and restaurants and shopping, not to mention views down the other side of CBD. I love to walk, so it wasn't a problem to me that the hotel was a good 45 minutes or even an hour by foot from downtown. The hotel breakfast was not included in my rate, which I was told was just as well because if I paid for it in my rate I'd be paying for breakfast for two, and I am a solo traveler; instead I went up to the high street, which was great. I will gladly come back the next time I'm in Auckland.

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.

Ponsonby is a true gem. It’s filled with character, quirkiness, and care. If you’re interested in something unique, and a short walk from a ton of restaurants and shops, I highly recommend the ArtHotel.

We stay here regularly. Staff are wonderful. Our parking was on the street as no space inside property. Another guest was using our balcony late in the evening which was slightly disconcerting. They had climbed over the railing to get to it. However they did move when we asked. Perfect location.

I LOVED staying here! I travel to Auckland on business about once a year, and wanted to see another side of the city beyond the downtown. Ponsonby is a beautiful neighborhood that's only a few minutes' car ride from the business district of Auckland, so a great place to stay for some variety, and this hotel is so gorgeous and so full of little extras and attentions that I will DEFINITELY be returning there next year. Thank you so much for creating such a lovely place to be!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Our next stay we'd like to try a studio out the back. The breakfasts were delicious. The location was great to access Ponsonby but the more touristy harbourfront is only a 40 minute walk also and mostly downhill. We did however take a taxi back. 20 NZ. They really care about you enjoying your stay!

Good area. Room was converted garden shed, clad in corrugated iron, and was badly sound from adjoining room. No one at any stage introduced or identified themselves. There were no photos any where on-line of the "garden sheds". Some staff were put out if you requested an additional tea bag at breakfast. Outside area, particularly at back was uneven, unfinished, untidy. Garden furniture was rusting. We had to pass the laundry, where the door was always open and in disarray. There was no one to assist with luggage on arrival, this was a problem, particularly if you were allocated to the sheds. All in all very disappointing, and extortionate when you consider the nightly room rate for 5 nights of $285 NZ per night. As there is no on-site manager, or staff to assist on arrival, it is not fair to call this property a B & B, or a hotel. There are no air conditioners in any rooms, nor minifridges in the rooms in the main house. Would not recommend this property to anyone !!!
