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

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.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel is very outdated.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.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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

Great views.

Great hotel in a great spot. We paid for a lake view and so glad we did - view is spectacular. If you have an issue with hills it is quite a steep one from the hotel into the centre of town and back but we were fine.
