The Quadrant Hotel & Suites offers excellent value for money and truly has everything you need. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-equipped with facilities like a kitchenette, laundry options, and comfortable seating—perfect for longer stays or self-catering. The overall environment is spotless and welcoming. However, one aspect stood out negatively: the front desk staff’s attitude during our check-out process. We had just left the room and needed to quickly return to store our luggage before heading into the city to pick up some souvenirs. There was no one else around, and we weren’t blocking anything—we were as quick and considerate as possible. Despite that, the staff reacted with clear impatience, rushing us with sharp tones and uninviting body language. It felt unnecessarily harsh, especially since we weren’t causing any disruption. A little more empathy and flexibility would have made a big difference in our experience. That said, the hotel’s comfort, location, and amenities still make it a solid choice. With better guest service, this could easily be a 10/10 stay.
I stayed at ibis Auckland Ellerslie during a trade show at Auckland Showgrounds, and the experience was excellent. The hotel is conveniently located near public transport—easy to reach by taxi, bus, or even on foot—and just a short walk from the train station, making it simple to get into the city center. I especially appreciated that the facilities, including the restaurant and gym, are shared with the nearby Novotel, offering more space and better amenities without extra cost. The staff at Acacia Restaurant went above and beyond when I had an allergic reaction—they responded quickly and offered genuine help, which made me feel safe and cared for. It’s also reassuring knowing there’s a private hospital right behind the property, giving peace of mind if needed. Overall, this is a well-located, comfortable, and thoughtful choice for business travelers and tourists alike.
