Great place to stay! Very Central and close to everything-with the best View over The lake. Can be a bit noisy at Bar closing time from street noise drifting up...Gaming Console In shared lounge was a hit with our kids. room was Small but functioned well. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Thanks so much for your stay and your review Sandy! Being in the center of Queenstown and right on the lake front has it's advantages, but unfortunately downtown nose can sometimes be one of them. We do have double glazed windows and free ear-plugs available though, so make sure to keep your windows closed and ask at reception for earplugs for your next stay! :)
