Room was pretty nice, but we had an issue with the fan in the bathroom, it would not go off, so we called reception and the guy said it will go off after 10 minutes or so, but it did not go off, so we spoke to reception again and the guy said nothing he can do as he was on his own and basically refused to come to the room, we finally got to sleep after a few hours but it stayed on all night, we can out of our room and the electrician onsite was there dnd we told him and he said he would make note of it, then as we went to the next level the housekeeping manager was there and we mentioned to him and he said I bet that was a pain, he said speak with the duty manager who was on reception and she basically said they are on all night, some are louder than others, we don’t know which ones are louder, we mentioned that we had spoken to the guy on reception the night before and that he would not come down to our room and she even said he was not on his own do could have popped to our room, basically it seems nobody knows that the fans are on all night, the staff will not come and help and refuse to come and help, they lie and say they are on there own to get out of coming, and after telling the lady duty manager all this she really did not want to know, she gave us an very lose apology and that was it, didn’t care that the staff had lied to us, I stay in loads of hotels every year and we were looking forward to a night here, if loud fans affect you sleeping do not stop here please!!

Beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Close to Town. Walkable to everything in town. The room was quaint and cozy. The resort is older than some of the newer resorts nicely maintained. The lobby and restaurant has great views. No elevator available to some of the rooms so you will need to carry your luggage. They do have porters to assist. I would recommend this hotel and would return.

Great location 5 min walk to the centre. Had the Lakeview suite. View was spectacular. Close to airport. Very comfortable bed. Just a bit dated.

This lovely property was very convenient to Queenstown, had beautiful views, and staff were friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed an open balcony space on the lounge floor where we could have a drink and sit with friends. All around, an excellent choice for us.

Not the best value for your money.

Property was very tired and needs an up grade, especially for the price of the rooms. We booked 2 rooms with king size beds, and got both rooms with 2 double beds. The toilet broke in one room, but they couldn’t move us because the hotel was full. Breakfast buffet was okay, but much better value to walk into town and buy something there. Lake view was very small, not at all what I expected from the photos.

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.

You could hear showers and toilets flushing from neighboring rooms, not very well insulated. It was somewhat difficult to navigate the different levels and "blocks" that comprise the hotel. The lake view was beautiful.
