I did not like (1) Small room with congested space (2) Not very clean (3) Bathroom is not very good (4) Less light in the room I liked (1) Best value for money. With this small amount of money the service they provided was awesome (2) Breakfast was superb. I am amazed that they gave us so much (unlimited bread, milk, verities of corn flakes, coffee etc.) with so little money

Great staff & unexpected breakfast & coffee. Best value I could find in overpriced Queenstown. Shame about inconsiderate noisy guests coming in till early hours & talking loudly while walking all though building & even some standing outside rooms talking on telephone at 1am = poor nights sleep.

Very good and affordable option. Walkable distance to town centre and main attractions. Friendly staff. Yes it is not a 5 star hotel and does not have something you will find in 5 stars therefore the price is not any close to that. Very much worth every cent you pay. Would definetely stay again.

Fair value for the property. Queenstown ‘cultural’ hub and lakefront are a 20 min. walk away. Leave vehicle parked at Reavers to avoid downtown parking hassles. Save energy for the final 150 m steep uphill walk to this hotel.

Poor value
Check-in was easy, but immediately noticed a less than pleasant odour in the room and heard others commenting on their rooms too. I traced the problem to the drains and eased the situation with a few kettles of boiling water down the drains in the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Cooking facilities are small with a two ring plug-in hob in the cupboard. I needed to clean it before use and only one ring really worked. As the room rate was more expensive than many of my previous stays on my trip around South Island, several of which had been entire houses it seemed that this stay was pretty poor value for money. It's also at the top of a very steep hill so consider that if your fitness level is not compatible.

Stayed in a loft room as that was all available, little bit of a struggle to climb up into bed and not a lot of head space. Maybe more appropriate for the younger generation. Parking was a bit of hit and miss. Great continental breakfast provided.

For young travellers
Located on a very steep hill, I'd recommend this for young travellers by car. Close enough to the cbd, this is a hostel type of accommodation with a very lovely view. My room was definitely not the most comfortable as the bed was up a wobbly stair and it was a bit hard to get into as the ceiling is extremely low. The place wasn't greatly cleaned and the carpet definitely needs an update but for a few days it's doable.

Room with a soundtrack
Had a great time, but honestly didn't spend a whole lot of time in the lodge. It was clean and comfortable and perfectly served its purpose. However, the walls are *paper thin*, so I'd recommend requesting a room on the top floor so you don't wake up in the middle of the night to hear your upstairs neighbours going at it (hypothetical of course). Other than that, no real complaints other than a couple of hooks in the bathroom for towels would have been nice, but nothing major!

Reavers Lodge is a bustling, glorified hostel just a few blocks from the downtown tourist zone. (The last couple of blocks are a little steep but it gives you a good view of the townsite and valley.) The free continental breakfast is fine and there is a great coffee machine. The rooms are adequate if a little worn. Most of our fellow travelers were in their 20s but there were also many families.

Absolutely the worst accommodation i have ever experienced in the 20 years i have been coming to NZ. The rooms are dirty, dark, noisy and the rugs are all stained. Fixtures in bathrooms are rusted. Water was off when we were there. Dont be fooled when they say breakfast included. Toast, cereal and coffee is what is included. Never again in this overpriced disgusting place!

We had no choice but to book a room for 2 nights at this time. I understand it's on season in Queenstown. However, I was not happy with some guests who were drinking, chatting and laughing loudly in the corridor by the doors. I couldn't sleep well too noisy even after 10 pm.

We booked 10 nights but bailed out after 2 nights. Constant noise day & night. Wouldn’t be suitable for elderly guests as there’s a steep hill & a few more stairs to climb for your room. Staff didn’t offer to help with your luggage. No water available in the morning for a shower, you had to wait until it came on. There’s a sign up saying that they deal with any noise but they never did. Avoid this place like the plague.

Basic, so so
Reasonably priced compared to other hotels and fairly centrally situated. But the hotel is super basic and not very clean. We we given a room right next to their public toilet, and passing that every time to and from the room wasn’t a pleasant experience. The central kitchen was not clean. The bunk bed was horrible. It kept making squeaky sounds whenever someone was on it. The car park can get full by late noon, and pls find alternate parking options if that happens.
