LyLo Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"Every thing was so lovely clean tidy well organized but was disappointed with the TV channels couldn't get them all only 2 but other wise great location a d tidy"

QT Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"QT Queenstown is positioned on the Esplanade with views across the lake, towards the mountains. It is undergoing modernisation. A short 5 min walk to town, where there are multiple choices for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The staff are incredible and cannot please you enough. They have free wine tasting daily, there is Also a roof bar and restaurant on site. Will definitely stay here again."

Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Beautiful, spacious room in a convenient location. On-site parking was $20 per day, which felt reasonable. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The fireplace was a lovely touch and kept the room warm and cosy, the room itself was very well insulated, and the shower pressure was excellent. There were a few downsides. At night there was a noticeable sound coming from within the walls that didn’t occur during the daytime. The room service menu for dinner mains was also quite limited. Unfortunately, the hair dryer provided appeared damaged and started sparking, which could have become dangerous if I hadn’t quickly switched it off at the power point. A few small improvements could make the stay even better — more TV channel options for kids would be great, and the front desk occasionally didn’t answer calls from the room, so it was easier to walk down in person for requests like cutlery. The spa was extremely hot while the pool was quite cold, so balancing the temperatures a little better would improve the experience. Overall though, it was an enjoyable and relaxing stay with wonderful staff, and we had a great time."
