Top Queenstown Hotel Reviews

Swiss-Belsuites Pounamu Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean well presented room , the location was very convenient, highly recommend this property"

Pinewood Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"We booked a family ensuite room at what we thought was a hostel for our one night in Queenstown not expecting much, and were very pleasantly surprised at how comfortable, clean, and just generally nice the room was. It happened to be the night that the World Cup semi final was on at 7 AM, but we couldn't get it on the TV in our room. The lovely lady at reception had no idea how to fix that, but found us another, empty room where we could watch the important game, which was absolutely above and beyond. Would return here in a heartbeat. (Also, even though we arrived about 10 PM, we were able to park almost right outside our room, in the height of ski season.)"

Novotel Queenstown Lakeside

8/10 Good

"Great location within walking distance to bars and restaurants. Rooms comfortable and warm. No onsite parking and street parking is expensive."

Kamana Lakehouse

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel overall. Only thing to be aware of is that it's slightly outside of the downtown area of Queenstown. It's about 1.5 miles or a 30 minute walk. "

Rendezvous Heritage Hotel Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"Just that the room did not have information about laundry facility and other information that would have been helpful. The heated pool was so not heated. But service was amazing."

Copthorne Hotel and Apartments Queenstown Lakeview

8/10 Good

"overall is great especially friendly staff and not pricey in room meal delivery. Free carpark as well with first in first serve basis. Just a big aging look and location wise need drive to mostly all amenities."

Crowne Plaza Hotel Queenstown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location"
