Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room was spacious and had a small sink and bench area with a bar fridge to make drinks. Despite being below street level and amidst construction noise, after insisting on a different room, the new space provided a lovely view of the Remarkables and was quiet. Overall, it was like any standard hotel room.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautiful, equipped with a jacuzzi that had an integrated TV. It felt like I was in a 3-star hotel. The service was excellent, up to date, although I could sense some nervousness, yet the staff catered to all needs, from a variety of guests with distinctive preferences. The location was cozy, perfect for starting the day before exploring Queenstown. The dining options were substantial and catered to a wide range of appetites. Overall, a comfortable and relaxing experience.

My stay at the hotel was a luxurious sleep that exceeded my expectations. From the welcoming entrance to the delicious breakfast options, it was a great way to start the day. However, the quality of some amenities like the toilet paper was a letdown.
