    We absolutely adored everything about QT. It is new, original, arty, modern, stylish, fun, thoughtful, unhotely, beautifully situated on the viaduct/waterfront, wonderful young super helpful staff, huge TV with chromecast. What more could you want? A Dyson hairdryer, Nespresso coffee, boutique gins and a water bottle for filtered water available outside our room. Art everywhere, great easy carparking under the hotel. Lovely restaurant, rooftop bar, quirky interior design and staff who couldn’t do enough to make our stay great.

    Lovely interior design. Had character and was well appointed. Beautiful scent throughout hotel. Beds were very comfortable and staff were warm and efficient. Have tried the breakfast and the High Tea and both were excellent. We ordered room service for dinner and it was great. Would definitely stay again. A jewel in the boutique hotel Crown of Auckland CBD.
