Awesome location for the price. Very big and spacious room. Bed very comfortable, very nice small balcony with city view (this was a Plus) Overall for cleaness is good. Just some details like shower curtain not smelling good, also when you shower the extractor fan is just on top of shower and suction of the air makes the shower curtain stick to you when you shower, so I just showered with curtain open, And obviously wet all floor. the room did not have duvet but they supply us with extra heater which heated very good. They had a water boiler for tea but no glasses or cups in room. Paper toilet about to run out and no extra on room. In general was good for the price but as I mentioned. Just those details.

Noisy all throughout the night. Not perfect for people who need to rest. I felt sick having to be constantly be awaken by drunk people in the hallway, doing nothing but being drunk until three in the morning. Wish the business minded this matter too despite Queenstown being “a party place”. What happened at 3 onwards? Cleaners took over, pouring bottles from bin to bin, loud enough to wake all my senses up each time like no one sleeps there. Every move was loud. Hate to say I had been warned! I checked out at 5 in the morning and stayed by the wharf for the rest of my short stay. Also the toilets had so limited space, no bins and weren’t very clean.
