No aircon in rooms so it was very hot and stuffy until the sun came down, after which point it cooled down as we had the windows open.
Good location, spacious kitchen and common area.

“Good value for money”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night
It is situated on a very busy street with no long term parking so we had to park our car overnight at the lake. Fortunately it it is safe to park there, but just inconvenient.
We stayed in a twin room with our own bathroom. It was very quiet and we also had our own private patio with a view of the cable car going up the mountain and a table and chairs so that we could sit outside. The room was clean and well equipped with a kettle and tea and coffee making facilities.

As it is located in the city, can be a little bit noisy if you open your windows. Ear plugs however are provided.

Small rooms, lack of bathrooms (only one per room), couldn’t use the kitchen on level 2!? , no parking and no locker space . Can be a bit noisey at night (they kindly supply ear plugs if you need which is nice).
Great location!! Step out front and you’re literally in the centre of Queenstown.
