We loved our stay in Queenstown . The hotel was in a great location, clean, staff was friendly. My only complaint as we left was our room needs a new bed. It was two twins put together and had a difference in height and was lumpy. The worst bed we have ever slept in and we travel a lot. The pillows were horrible too. I did let the front desk know the owners needed to make a change in that room. The other couple we were with said theirs was great. Thank you

The bathroom had poor lighting, my husband found it very hard to see what he was doing when shaving. there was pee on the toilet seat when we arrived, when using the shower the water flooded the floor onto the carpet area. the coffee machine leaked water from inside somewhere.

We had a sensational stay in Queenstown! What a fabulous city. As we have two children an apartment was ideal for us as they are fussy eaters! The apartment is super spacious and has stunning views over the lake as well as being a short walk to town around 2-5 minutes. Now to the hotel, beautiful Lana on the front desk was so lovely and kind. The apartments are old and a lot of things need upgrading and replacing such as the mattresses that are sagging. However she did try to move us but ultimately we chose to stay as the hotel was full. It’s hard when each apartment has individual owners as some may be more open to maintaining and upgrading whereas other owners want to do the bear minimum so I really empathise with the varied standard levels between the apartments. Also it said on our booking there was a sauna and hot tub which there is not, so if management can audit these details that would be good 😊 It looks like the Rydges is getting a renovation so we might try there next time or maybe stay in Arrowtown which is so charming. I look forward to returning to stunning Queenstown again.
