The price suited my budget and still allowed us stay in the heart of Queenstown, very happy with the quality of the rooms despite being cheap it didn't lack anything a more expensive hotel would offer that I needed given we were out all day.

This is fantastic, a location close to everything and the staff are brilliant and helpful. It's atmosphere is cozy and warm, everyone is friendly. It really is a brilliant place to stay. Highly recommended, you can go on your own and be playing piano, or sitting on the couches, it's spacious. The kitchens large, with plenty of space, large tables to eat on, and it's clean. The balcony over looks the nice bars.. it's great for a trip to Queenstown without paying the big bucks.

Easy check in process. Room was very cold when we arrived and we had to go to reception to get them to turn on the heat pump power. The bed was very comfy and we slept well considering we were surrounded by bars. One negative was that there were no towels in the room.
