Cool place filled with character. Had room with balcony overlooking mountain. A quick walk to anything you need. Lovely happy hour and breakfast options.
The hotel was wonderful. Located very close to the bus stop, cafes, restaurants and shops. It was very clean and spacious. The complimentary snacks and soft drinks as well as complimentary happy hour was a lovely addition. We arrived a little late and self-check in instructions were very easy. A complimentary bottle of wine in the room as we had missed happy hour was an unexpected surprise. Just wonderful.
The hotel was an easy walk to downtown Queenstown. It was clean, quiet and well maintained. The staff were very nice, very helpful and made sure we were well taken care of. They also had a daily happy hour that we enjoyed. We will stay there again!
We enjoyed a relaxing two night stay here. Our room was large and very comfortable. Nice amenities including snacks in the room, a breakfast bar (for an added fee), and full laundry facility. Friendly and helpful staff. The paid parking on the premises is highly recommended as street parking is not easy to find. The hotel location is extremely convenient- a short walk into the village.
Lovely, central hotel. Huge room with complimentary treats and a pre dinner cocktail hour in the bar area which offered complimentary beer and wine with snacks. Really enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine. Staff were very friendly and helpful
What a fabulous hidden gem. The staff were so very friendly, thankyou for the breakfast boxes ahead of our early departure. The rooms were very comfortable, and we loved the daily happy hour and lolly buffet!
An Interesting, Hotel with it's own sense of style
This is a good well located and reasonably priced hotel in Queenstown. But it is worth noting the hotel is a steep clime up from the lakeside and town. We booked parking which worked well. at the time we stayed there was no nearby on road parking.
The hotel and room decor is very style conscious and my wife loved it. I confess I was rather less convinced!
The staff that we met were universally friendly and helpful.
Overall a very good stay and we would not hesitate to use it again.
This is a wonderful boutique hotel that is very walkable to downtown. We checked in after hours and the process was very easy. The rooms are nicely decorated! They provided complimentary snacks and have a lovely complimentary happy hour! They were also super accommodating— we were going to Milford Sound and staying over night on a boat, the hotel let us keep our bags there even though we checked out. Super friendly staff— highly recommend!
Stunning interior of the hotel. The room was spacious and well decorated. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The lounge, happy hour, and breakfast are all delightful! You can walk to everything
Great 3 days! Only thing that could possibly have been better was the morning coffee.
Great location and managers on site were very attentive. Happy hour was great as was the bottle of wine in the beginning to relieve the stress of our flight etc from Australia.
Highly recommend, and already thinking about coming back and spending a week there. Queenstown was great!
It really appreciated that there were no additional charges for things like the mini-bar, snacks, happy hour, continental breakfast. The room was very well appointed, good water pressure in shower. We even had a choice of the type of wine which was included as the VIP bonus (and it was very good wine too).
Staff at reception were very friendly, efficient at checking us in and showing us around the hotels amenities.
The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to the waterfront, park and shopping/dining.
What a gem. We have no hesitation in recommending here. The staff are so friendly and welcoming; the rooms are spacious…loved the underfloor heating in the bathroom; the bed is comfortable and to top it off everything is gratis… no mini bar fees and a lovely “happy hour” every afternoon with wines, beers and cheese board…such an lovely touch.
