Great boutique hotel, in a good location, some nice room features, but fell a little short in a couple of areas. 1. The room clearly hadn't been dusted in a while there was a thick layer of dust on all the bathroom fixtures/mirrors etc. 2. Not everyone loves a rainfall shower, need option of a standard shower head 3. Lighting, why does the bathroom have to be so dark I could barely see to shave.

Clean place with a nice shower and a comfortable bed. In my opinion, the room we were staying in (room #2) should not be used for guests. The windows don’t have the ability to open and it’s street facing which means people coming up the stairs to the hotel will directly see you if your changing etc. The room shares a wall with the bar in the hotel which plays music until at least 10pm. Staff were heard until about 11pm (maybe later). The restaurant in the hotel was very tasty! Overall, I was pretty bummed with my stay here.

The location is great, and a beautiful hotel . The staff service is poor though- the receptionist was talking really loud at reception with her friends late on a Sunday evening, her friends parked at the door/driveway so we couldn’t use the driveway. Noise travels a lot. We probably wouldn’t stay again- for the price, the service is lacking/ made us a little uncomfortable.

A very romantic hotel in Grey Lynn and a lovely walk to Ponsonby. The upstairs room was pretty small but nice and quiet. The downstairs room number 2 is more spacious but very noisy. I would choose a smaller room upstairs and have a nice sleep.

Beautiful Art Hotel
Our stay was fantastic. The room is beautiful, well appointed and filled with art. We loved the atmosphere and the neighborhood. Make sure to get coffee at Better Me espresso and donuts from Doe just up the road.

The hotel iteself is so beautiful, the art work and interiors really cool. Unfortunately the service was very poor. For a boutique hotel we were looking forward to a personal touch. It was our wedding night which we advised the staff of several times. Not one special touch added to congratulate us. We didn’t even have bottle of water and included in the room and had to drink water from the toilet sink tap. We had to request other items that should be available in the room. For the price per night, we were very disappointed.

What a wonderful place to stay! We loved the playful art on the walls, and the overall vibe of the place. The bed was super comfy and the shower pressure was great! We had a late check-in, with very easy to follow instructions on how to get in and where to find our key. Overall, very happy with our stay.

Can't recommend The Convent Hotel enough!
We were really looking for a nice hotel that had easy access for parking, but go so much more! The Convent Hotel is a small boutique hotel that doesn't let its quirkiness get in the way of practicality. The decoration is playful with the building's history (I'm not sure the nuns would approve). It's well located in Grey Lynn, and while they don't offer breakfast, great cafés like Postal Service just a few minutes away. Ponsonby is about 20 minutes or so walk, and there are bus stops just outside for easy access into the CBD and beyond. We had one of the smaller rooms with a balcony. The balcony looks onto the flats next door, but curtains on the area itself, as well as blind on the windows, mean you have as much privacy as you could want but still get to enjoy the extra space. The room didn't feel too tight with the comfortable bed, decent size wardrobe. The bathroom, with shower, feels quite ample for a room this size. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, as are the team at the bar and Ada restaurant downstairs, which I'd recommend as well. Say hello to their cat, appropriately named Carpark, if you go!

Great unique property. Friendly staff who gave us advice about the area and public transport. Very popular restaurant attached to the hotel, however there is no breakfast service. Awesome cafe only 5 minutes down the road and buses straight into the cbd.

Unfortunately we were located next to the very busy and very noisy restaurant, which stayed open until almost midnight. The following morning was generally noisy also, so not a restful stay.

Had a great room and the hotel was amazing! However with the restaurant next door people tried to open my door couple times thinking it’s the toilets. Very uneasy when staying in a hotel and trying to just have a quiet night. Also the sound from the restaurant carries quite well so make sure to ask about this in different rooms
