I loved the view of the lake & mountains from my room. Such a magical sight to wake up to. My steak was cooked to perfection. Could taste the love in the food and the staff were very accommodating. The only improvement over all would be to update their guest laundry with new washing machines & dryers to facilitate the number of guests onsite.

The shower curtain kept sticking on your body whilst taking shower - very unhygenic. The sink was getting blocked When I called Room Service for cutlery and a couple of dinner plates, I was told that there would be charge of $5. Never heard that before. The reception was left in the hands of a trainee, which is not fair. There should be a permanent staff monitoring and assisting the trainee. Overall uphappy

Once again this is my third stay here and it’s all about location and view. This time got the suite with balcony and that’s a game changer, taking in the amazing view through a window is nice but sitting outside taking in the cool clean air is worth the extra money. I still believe the whole place is in need of some serious updating but is very clean and staff amazing. Food options still not great. But would be happy to stay here again

Hotel is very outdated.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.
