Quest Mount Eden
Kitchenette apartments in the shadow of Mount Eden
About this hotel
The Mount Eden setting gives this property a quieter, more residential feel than a CBD hotel, while keeping the Sky Tower 3.4 kilometres away and Auckland Town Hall just 2.3 kilometres off. Rooms include a kitchenette, air conditioning and city views, with extras such as grocery delivery, electric vehicle charging and bicycle parking aimed at guests staying longer or moving around by bike rather than taxi. A fitness centre and lift cover the basics, and daily housekeeping keeps the apartment feel from turning into self-service inconvenience. Guests repeatedly mention the room cleanliness and comfort alongside the convenient, walkable neighbourhood around the base of the volcanic cone. The residential streets around the property stay noticeably quieter than the CBD after dark, and the combination of grocery delivery and EV charging suits a traveller settling in for more than a night or two rather than passing through.

Our take
This suits travellers who want to explore Mount Eden's volcanic cone and its village of cafés while still having easy access into the CBD. Cyclists and longer-staying guests benefit most from the EV charging, bicycle parking and grocery delivery service. Travellers who want to walk to the Sky Tower without a bus or taxi should choose a CBD hotel instead, since Mount Eden sits a real distance from the centre.
- Climb Mount Eden's summit early in the morning before the day heats up, it's a short walk from the property
- Arrange grocery delivery ahead of arrival if staying more than a few nights, it saves the first day's shopping trip
- Use the bicycle parking if exploring by bike, the surrounding streets are largely flat
Why we love it
- A kitchenette in every room
- Grocery delivery for longer stays
- Electric vehicle charging on site
- Walking distance to Mount Eden's summit
Why guests love itGuests who base themselves here for a longer Auckland stay tend to make the most of the grocery delivery and EV charging, treating it as a residential foothold rather than a CBD hotel room. A walk up Mount Eden's volcanic cone before breakfast becomes part of the routine for anyone staying more than a night or two. The residential streets nearby stay noticeably quieter than the CBD a few kilometres away.
