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.

Lovely hosts; very clean comfortable rooms; great breakfast. A little oasis in the city. Highly recommended.

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.

Very clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice unique property.

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.

Great location and spacious room

Great stay. Excellent location for our visit. Lovely, friendly staff. Good vibe

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!

Interesting place with great breakfast and walking distance to many restaurants. 5 minutes from downtown and waterfront by Uber or cab. Quiet location with attentive owners.

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!

This bed and breakfast was tucked away in an enjoyable part of town close to restaurants and shops, and was less than half an hour from the airport. It provided very comfortable accommodations. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would definitely stay again.
