"Holiday Inn and Suites gave us the cosy resort feel when we stepped into the front lobby. The reception setup is totally different from the other hotels that we have stayed in so far, we thought we have wrongly walked into a cafe-bar when we first arrived! All of the reception staff were so friendly and helpful, and they went out of the way to answer every questions we may have during our stay. The hotel room was smaller than I expected it to be but it was comfortable and the view from the room was beautiful. The toilet is well designed and I loved the thick and fluffy towels. The hotel is located uphill, about 15 minutes walk to and from the town centre so going out is great but coming back is a little tiring. We had a great 5 days stay and will definitely stay here if visiting Queenstown again."
"The room was clean and tidy, which I appreciated. However, parking was quite difficult as it was hard to find a spot nearby. They suggest to park at public parking which costs $10 per day. There were plenty of shops and restaurants in the area, offering lots of dining options. One downside was the poor soundproofing - i could hear loud laughter from the neighboring room at midnight, which made us hard to rest.
One thoughtful touch was that the hotel provided a brownies or cookies with drink as a simple breakfast - actually quite deicilous and felt welcoming."
"We selected this hotel for a winter ski break. It’s Very close to the airport and a short drive to the ski resorts. Central Queenstown is about 15mins drive.
The hotel room was very spacious with a split level living room/bedroom overlooking the lake. Great breakfast and dinner in the evening.
We enjoyed our stay at The Hilton."
