Positive: My reality around this experience was one of Wow. I built a Castle here in New Zealand over 34 years which still is a destination. It was voted as third most romantic destination in the world by Airbnb in 2017 . ArtHotel is a bespoke microcosm of loveliness in Auckland and honestly the wee touch of dressing gowns was magical and sums up the experience. Staff were perfect in every respect. Pricing was humble and I will most definitely book again.
Negative: This is a cute stay
Summary: Perfection

Positive: The room was lovely - spacious, clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and homely. We only had a one night stay but it felt like a wonderful little getaway and we will definitely return (we're Auckland locals and it was a chance to have a small break from our two toddlers!). Great location off Ponsonby Road, plenty of awesome restaurants nearby, either a short stroll or cheap uber away! Quality toiletries and bedding, nice coffee! Appreciated the early check in and late check out offered, it makes a huge difference on a short stay! Extremely kind staff, yummy cooked breakfast, felt very safe, quirky and funky property. The welcome drink was such a nice little touch. Lots of street parking. So much character, wish we could stay once a month! Such a huge treat for us as busy working parents with rare opportunities for a getaway. Thanks, all, we loved it! So glad we stayed here and not at some boring apartment in the CBD. Ponsonby is fab as is this place.
Negative: It was great all round. Forgot to mention to the team when we left that the shower head was a little loose and sliding down a little, but that will be fixed in no time as soon as this is seen (and wasn't a major). We highly recommend The Great Ponsonby Arthotel and can't wait to return!!
Summary: Highly recommended spot in Central Auckland. Home away from home (but cooler!)
