Wonderful

The location is perfect: 5 minute walk to the Gardens and lake front promenade. Hotel parking was full but we found free parking on the near by street for two nights. Breakfast was pretty good and rooms were new and specious.

Room was clean & tidy on arrival.
However, it appears more training would be beneficial for efficiency of housekeeping staff as to guest's requirements. Also at the reception where this is the guest's first contact with hotel staff.
This holiday in was extremely busy with bus tours and they handled things awesome! Wait time was minimal for check-in. Also so many for the breakfast buffet but no problem was ran excellent!
Room very clean and nice!
Good location. 15 minutes drive from airport. 5 minutes walk to CBD (but need a decent level of fitness/mobility to walk to and from CBD).
Clean, comfortable room.
Decent breakfast to start the day, inc. hot food, cereals, toasts, pancakes, yogurts, fruit, pastries, juice etc.
Perfect hotel, amazingly designed. All the staff are really kind, professional and helpful. Comfortable room, no kitchen. There are washing machines in the hotel for guests to use. We had a great time, recommended!
Amazing hotel and amzing staff!! Paras and Garry took such good care of us. Rooms were good and clean, great location and close to everything. I highly recommend this place if you are planning a trip to Queenstown.
