Lovely old building with gorgeous staircase, and nice and warm. But: Beds too small. Breakfast poor and not healthy; no soy milk available, no fruit, no yoghurt, just terrible, cheapest instant coffee, orange juice, bread and cereal. Had to hunt down a staff member to ask for bowls then mugs. Lack of provisions ie no hand wash, shampoo etc. At least it had a common room with a kettle and microwave.

I loved the history of this building, learning about the historic staircase (local Blackwood which was shipped to England to make it!!), reading the menu from a prime ministers stay in 1901, the lovely and accommodating staff as well as the newly renovated bathrooms! We enjoyed a dinner there, which they accommodated us at short notice. Who can knock a complimentary continental breakfast. Lovely stay.

Associated with great history of Queenstown n mining. The first hotel of Queenstown, nearly a century old but with all the modern facilities. A great stay.

A lovely old historic hotel, the rooms are clean and comfortable with modern ensuites and everything you need for an over night stay. You do hear a bit of noise from the bar on a friday night, which you kind of expect in a hotel, we took ear plugs so it wasn't an issue. We had dinner with friends and everyone enjoyed their meals. We thought everything was good value.
