Hotel is very outdated. It was like a maze trying to find the room and it was no where near the car park. There was also stairs only to get to the level we were on which was not good with suitcases. The shower burnt us a number of times as it would just suddenly change to boiling temperature on its own. Our room also was next to an exit door and the road which didn’t leave it feeling very secure or private. I have been to Queenstown a few times now and would definitely look for other accommodation.

Loved the staff, helpful as due to the size of hotel we had to get directions a couple of times from the lobby to our room in another block/ wing of the hotel. Staff provided a map and other and staff were helpful when asked. The view from our room was gorgeous of the mountains. There is path through a local park which is close by that you can take to the center of Queenstown with restaurants and stores. Ate a couple of times at on site restaurant and service and food was good.

Great location and nice staff

Great location, it was clean and the staff were really nice and friendly. The bed was super comfortable, perfect location. The room was just a bit tired, the hotel just needs some minor renovations. It was worth the money we paid for during a long weekend.

Room was pretty nice, but we had an issue with the fan in the bathroom, it would not go off, so we called reception and the guy said it will go off after 10 minutes or so, but it did not go off, so we spoke to reception again and the guy said nothing he can do as he was on his own and basically refused to come to the room, we finally got to sleep after a few hours but it stayed on all night, we can out of our room and the electrician onsite was there dnd we told him and he said he would make note of it, then as we went to the next level the housekeeping manager was there and we mentioned to him and he said I bet that was a pain, he said speak with the duty manager who was on reception and she basically said they are on all night, some are louder than others, we don’t know which ones are louder, we mentioned that we had spoken to the guy on reception the night before and that he would not come down to our room and she even said he was not on his own do could have popped to our room, basically it seems nobody knows that the fans are on all night, the staff will not come and help and refuse to come and help, they lie and say they are on there own to get out of coming, and after telling the lady duty manager all this she really did not want to know, she gave us an very lose apology and that was it, didn’t care that the staff had lied to us, I stay in loads of hotels every year and we were looking forward to a night here, if loud fans affect you sleeping do not stop here please!!

Beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Close to Town. Walkable to everything in town. The room was quaint and cozy. The resort is older than some of the newer resorts nicely maintained. The lobby and restaurant has great views. No elevator available to some of the rooms so you will need to carry your luggage. They do have porters to assist. I would recommend this hotel and would return.
