I booked our room over the phone and the Manager, Robert, was great. We arrived late and the out of hours service for checking in worked fine. We were upgraded to a one bed apartment which was a good space with a very well equipped kitchen. It was spotlessly clean. Location was excellent. Walking distance to lots of bars, eateries,... More

The exciting new shopping malls are taking shape and it will be great to have even more cafes, boutiques and activities surounding us. Did you get to visit Brower's books?

Here is a reasonably priced, clean and comfortable tourist apartment in the middle of Hamilton. My single apartment had a separate double-bed room, kitchen/lounge, & bathroom. Handy to shops, river walks, the casino and the vibrant Victoria St cafe/restaurant precinct. The elevator is a slow throwback (use the stairs), but the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

This hotel is centrally located in the city. The facilities and decor are all of a good standard although on the night I stayed there was an offensive/over powering odor in the kitchen area which seemed to be strong detergent smell? Not sure but very unpleasant. The bedroom is a little on the tight side but adequate. The hosts were... More

Stayed at Quest on Ward last week and found it clean and tidy, with friendly staff. Location is good - 100 metres from Victoria Street. I will come again. Roadworks nearby ceased in the evening so there wa no problem with noise

It has an excellent location in the centre of Hamilton very close to the shops and excellent restaurants.
