Top South Island Hotel Reviews
Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central
10/10 Excellent
"Very helpful staff"
The Hermitage Hotel Mount Cook
10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay, staff, room, cleanliness, view all outstanding. Would not look to stay anywhere else, the information centre a few minutes away was fascinating and the numerous trails mean you can park up and immerse yourself. Only improvements would be a pool, sauna and hot tubs etc. We will return!"
Airport Gateway Motor Lodge
8/10 Good
"Time for a definite refurbishment,"
Kamana Lakehouse
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful view, short drive to the city."
LyLo Christchurch
2/10 Terrible
"We checked in late due to traveling and decided to stay here since we have an early flight the next day. Reception Staff was dismissive and can only say the wifi details and handed over our keys (not even checking an identification for a prepaid booking) Our room was next to the lift, which we do not entirely mind since we just want to take shower and have a nap for a very early flight. The door opens, and we smell sweat and sewage! We tried to ignore and thought maybe it was from outside. And due to the weather that day in Christchurch (17 degrees) in that small room it can be very hot so we made sure the air condition is working— we set it at 10 degrees and headed out for a quick dinner. After we came back we found the room a lot hotter and a lot smellier than when we arrived. We are from the same industry so we didnt want to be a bother since we are only staying for couple of hours. I turned off the air condition since it is not working whatever button I pressed except the High/Low Buttons and Power Button and opened the window (Thank goodness otherwise we will be suffocated to death!) The bathroom smells like sewage, and exhaust is not working, the bathroom door was ajar and when I tried to slide it in, it cannot be closed, I had to asked my husband to lift the whole door fram to close and open for me to find that there’s a huge gap and you can see the whole thing from outside. Molds everywhere! And bonus part was, there was a booger on the wall. Disgusting! Shower doo"
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Queenstown by IHG
8/10 Good
"The hotel room also had a few shortcomings in terms of comfort and housekeeping standards. The room was not fully carpeted, and no slippers were provided, which made it uncomfortable during winter. In addition, during housekeeping, the bed was not properly tidied or made up, which did not meet the expected standard of room service for a hotel of this level. These details affected the overall comfort and impression of the stay."
BreakFree on Cashel Christchurch
8/10 Good
"As a suggestion for improvement, it would be great if the breakfast menu offered different choices each day rather than the same selection. Additionally, providing a variety of freshly cut fruits would be a welcome addition and would help create a more enjoyable and balanced breakfast experience for guests."
Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is right on the lakefront with beautiful views. The breakfast buffet had lots of options for vegetarians as well."
Galaxy Boutique Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"The view from our room was absolutely beautiful. Skylight over the bed to watch the stars."
