Staying on the 3rd floor, the hotel impresses with modern, spacious rooms and comfortable shared areas, including a well-provisioned kitchen. However, limited cooking utensils and no microwave-safe cookware restrict cooking options. Overall, a great stay with minor kitchen limitations.

The hotel had very roomy bathrooms and a spacious lounge/kitchen area. However, the promised Wi-Fi was over-promised, which was a minor inconvenience.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with modern bathrooms, though cooking amenities are limited. It provides a cozy and warm atmosphere with a comfortable bed. The service, while friendly, may require a bit of patience to reach. The location is fantastic for easy access to town and attractions, but the dining options are somewhat limited. Overall, a comfortable stay with a great location.

The hotel's location is convenient, easily accessible to downtown, Queenstown Gardens, and Lake Wakitipu, making it a great recommendation for anyone. However, the room we stayed in was outdated and crowded with bright decor and old beds, affecting our comfort. The service was lacking in hospitality knowledge though clean beds were provided. The dining experience in the on-site restaurant, offering authentic Indian dishes, was a highlight. Definitely a mixed bag with room for improvement.
Rooms
5.0
The room we were in was very busy with lots of large furniture, bright colors, and old, uncomfortable beds with outdated linen. The addition of fan heaters was necessary to raise the temperature due to the lounge design.
Service

Although we had to wait outside in the cold to get assistance and staff lacked knowledge in hospitality, the provision of clean beds was appreciated.
Location

The hotel's central location in the main tourist area was ideal for accessing popular attractions, despite being a bit pricey. However, the lack of steep hills to navigate was a plus.

The apartment had easy access to all amenities of the township and was very spacious, perfect for inner Queenstown right in town. The only downside is the noise from early leavers if you're a late sleeper.

The service was really great, especially with late evening arrival and very early checkout. They were helpful with booking taxis, but there was an oversight with the second key.
