“Quest On Thorndon strikes me as a practical choice in Wellington's government district, especially for longer stays; I noted the full kitchens and laundry in every apartment, a definite advantage. The art deco design gives the place a unique feel, setting it apart from typical hotels. Being so close to the Sky Stadium and railway, plus having gym access next door, seals its appeal.”
