Genuine friendly service in a traditional hotel. Great bike storage, fresh bathrooms and a welcome breakfast. Thanks for making our Queenstown holiday special.
Beautiful old building. Room served its purpose for an over night stay with a shared bathroom..The hotel was centrally located in the town.
We ate a lovely meal in in the restaurant in the evening and it was reasonably priced.
Staff were very attentive.
We had a continental breakfast in with the price.
It was a heritage property beautiful wood throughout
The staircase is exceptional parting at the top intp two directions
Huge dining room

The room was nice and compact. Beautiful historic hotel. The only fault was their laundry facilities. I wasted over $10 as the dryer would only go on for 5 minutes at a time.
The staff at the Hotel were thoroughly entertaining and I inclusive of anyone who walked in be they a local regular or tourist. They were all just amazing
Very old pub with lots of history. Brand new ensuite in the queen bedroom. No ceiling or pedestal fan in the room, and no flyscreen to open window unfortunately. Great dinner. Lovely old original historical decor.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Clean, but basic amenities in room, like no aircon or TV.
2 of 4 shared bathroom closed as "out of order"
Woke up during the night by drunken shouting outside the the hotel..
Some reviews made me apprehensive. Our stay was great. Room spotless and quiet, en suite more than adequate, water pressure fabulous!!! Dinner menu more than adequate - apparently new cook/chef? Continental breakfast fine. All staff delightful. Would definitely stay again. Excellent value for the very reasonable tariff.

The room had an internal window and was rather small. Two single beds were what we asked for. The room wes very dated, but the hotel
Is very old and alot of the original features are still there. They had put a new bathroom in. We ate in the dining room and had a very tasty meal.
