DO NOT RENT THIS DUMP!
Nothing like what we booked on their website. We were put in a rooming house, bed was comfy but took up most of the room.
No towel service, finally got my own towels on day 3, we left early for excursion on Day 2 thinking we would get towels…Nope, and when went to office to ask for towels, they were all gone…
Shower is useless. There is one control that works the temperature AND the pressure at the same time. The temperature is scalding hot so to try and use the shower, you have to turn it right down to cold, which is still HOT, and barely dribbles out of the shower head.
Walls are paper thin…
Riom was lovely, staff helpful, bathroom was great

We requested to do make up room on the second day stayed but when we came back none being done, as we aware of your program but we opened the window on the shower on the first night so a lot of insect or debris on the towels, but the receptionist was helpful and borrowed us okay fan just surviving second night, so the housekeeping was let down otherwise we will give 5 star
The staff was friendly. The room was a little older but it was clean and the beds were comfortable. It is walking distance to the city center and a grocery store. Also walkable to the gondola which is one of the main attractions of the city. I would stay there again. The price was fair and the WiFi worked well. Only small complaint would be that the shower had no cool temperature. It was hot or hotter.

Staff was super friendly and location, room, shared kitchen were good as well.
Overall pretty good place to stay. Would like to have a spot cleaning on third day. Otherwise good accomodations. Had a nice view from room. Shower could use a bit of an upgrade but not too bad.

It would be 5 stars if the doors didn’t have a habit of being very loud and therefore waking people up. Staff were amazing, facilities were good.
Out of all the stays In New Zealand , no doubt the worst one !!! Very noisy , doors getting slammed all nights , very poor quality of cleaning in communal areas . Very strong smell . Very old property in general . Only a couple of good things about this property are customer service and location for no doubt.

Rooms spotless. Beds sooo comfortable. Soaps and shampoo provided of good quality. Communal bathrooms very good standard. Extremely good value for the price we paid and 10 mins walk to the Queenstown tourist centre.
BIGGEST negative!! 4 stars from me cos Walls are paper thin. You can hear the quiet conversations people have in the next room till late which was quite disturbing to get some sleep. God forbid you hear noises you don’t want to hear. Bring ear plugs.
We were there for 3 nights. Communal bathrooms remained uncleaned and messy for 3 nights. Cleaning of it would be nice.

Happy with the private bathroom. The room was basic but clean. Glad to have our own private carpark. Pinewood is close to the gondola; so it's in a convenient location. It's pricey for what you get (compared to Tasmania where we're from). But everything's overpriced in Queenstown.
Clean, good facilities, large room, kitchen and living was comfortable.
Would have liked to be able to stay in common room post check out whilst waiting for flight as the website said when booking but this wasnt really available except for sitting at reception.
Reception staff were really nice but other staff around the site very impersonal.
