“Very good value for money base in the center of Queenstown. Perfect for a first visit to this city.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Quadruple Room with Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
It's an old building, so expect bathroom fixtures to be old. Closet could be better as well. Otherwise, it's nothing too bad. The kitchen was very convenient to use and had a great view of the lake.
Very good location in the town center near the lake, boardwalk and about 100 meters from Fergburger.

One of the front desk staff was unnecessarily pedantic. Check in was 14:30, and even at 14:21 she refused to hand over the keys because it was not time yet. Ridiculous. Her colleagues were much friendlier and more helpful.
Very basic but affordable in the heart of Queenstown.
