LyLo Queenstown, an EVT Hotel

LyLo Queenstown, an EVT Hotel

Queenstown|0.23km from city center
The location was the best part for us. It was very central in Queenstown and surrounded with many good restaurants, bars and shops. If you are planning on skiing or doing an excursion there are many pick up spots and tour operators near the hostel as well. The room was a good spot to sleep. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was clean and they provided a nice small space heater to keep the room warm if needed. We didn't have any body wash on our first night in the shower, we reported to the front desk and they gave us a couple of bars and we were told that they would replace in the morning but when we came back it was unfortunately not replaced but we did get another small bar of soap. The remote in the room was disgusting and covered in what I imagine was at one point part of some good fried chicken or possibly pizza but everything else seemed to be fine. Check in was a little tricky because there is self check in/check out tablets at the entrance. We couldn't figure out the right combination of booking reference number and name because we had received Jucy's confirmation code in a separate email. The attendant did offer to help us out but we got the right combo at that very moment. You can pick your cards to activate them and we had no issues with this part but later that evening my card deactivated and I went to the front desk a second time to get it working on our first night. The hotel has some very good signage and arrows to tell you where your rooms are and the amenities (rooftop bar/restaurant, laundry room and kitchen area). The hotel seems to be more of a party hotel and when we arrived there was lots of drinking and people having a good time. This went well into the night and the noise seemed to travel well down the hallway from the rooms that were hosting. We could also hear our neighbour coming and going throughout the first night but it was relatively quiet between 12-6. We picked this hostel for the location and to save a little bit of money for excursions. It did get very busy in our area the first night we were there but after that we had no issues with the traffic. It was a 15 minute ride to the airport in the Uber and the bus stops at the nearby Stanley St bus hub and only takes about 25 minutes to go to/from the airport with limited traffic.

Nomads Queenstown Hostel

Queenstown|0.17km from city center
Great location, this facility is suitable for those not fussy about where they stay. I did not enjoy it. I think I was expecting more and didn’t do enough research. I imagined there was the backpackers part and also a motel part of this facility. The room is what it is and it just wasn’t for me. Below is my experience of the facility. The room was dirty and very basic with no breakfast capability in room. No bowls, spoons etc if there were these items in the building somewhere to use, I was not advised of this. The Air con can not be controlled from the bedroom and you need to go down three floors to reception to ask them to set it to the temperature you want. You need to do this every time. The pillows are stained yellow and I was only given one pillowcase for two pillows. I’m not sure what was expected with the other. The shower door opens in front of the faucet making it difficult to switch on without getting wet. There was cobwebs and dust on vents and aircon. The balcony is very small but looks out over the beautiful lake and mountains. The balcony was shared with the neighbouring room. The carpet had something spilt on it which had not been cleaned. It wasn’t stained, it was hard and dried. The beds were comfortable enough and the sheets were crisp and white. Overall I wouldn’t stay here again as I prefer my hotels a lot nicer and more resourced but for a young adult looking for somewhere to sleep for a party weekend/backpacker I’d say it’s more than suitable.

Blue Peaks Apartments
4.4/529 Reviews

Blue Peaks Apartments

Queenstown|0.18km from St Peter's Anglican Church
The things that I liked about this accommodation was its proximity to the city centre (walkable to everywhere), the well equipped kitchen which we used to cook several meals, the 2 bathrooms included in the 2 bedroom apartment and the fact there was a washer and dryer. The apartment building itself is quite 'higgle-piggle'. Lots of stairs and we felt quite overlooked wherever we were. The balconies are all right next to one and other and if others are out there it feels quite awkward as you are about 3 meters from the neighbours conversations. Both bedrooms backed onto a walkway to other peoples apartments which resulted in loud voices straight past where we were all sleeping early in the morning and late at night when others were coming and going. If the blinds were open at all everyone could see straight into the bedroom. The apartment was also extremely hot in the afternoons with no fans or air con supplied (on day 2 we did request a fan and it was promptly brought to us). But one small pedestal fan really didn't help for 5 people. There was also A LOT of partying going on while we were there... it was the week after Christmas so i get people are celebrating but with 3 young kids it was VERY noisy. There is no onsite reception and the offsite reception is only in the day so we really just had to suffer through screaming and swearing etc for hours of the night. Overall, our stay was mostly fine and if i didnt have small kids I probably would have rated it better but for a family stay I would personally choose somewhere else in the future.

The Black Sheep Backpackers
3.6/522 Reviews
This backpackers really made our winter stay in Queenstown very memorable. We stayed in one of the second-storey family rooms with fantastic views of the Remarkables. The room was always warm with comfy beds, plenty of storage space and a fridge. A few things stood out for us: very helpful and friendly staff (nothing was ever a problem), very clean bathrooms, clean kitchen with plenty of cutlery and crockery, free meal on Wednesday night, free bike hire (quality bikes!), spa and within walking distance to all major attractions in the town. I'd highly recommend this backpackers!
Garden Court Suites and Apartments
4.2/5122 Reviews
We stayed here for 5 nights, 2 adults and 2 kids. There are definite pro's and con's here. Positives: Location is near perfect. 5 minute walk into town, slightly longer on way back going up the hill, but going via the playground made it easier with the kids. Easy to get to the airport and supermarkets if you have a car. Beds were very comfortable. The unit is spacious and well laid out, pretty much all amenities are covered for self catering. Designated parking space a big plus. Negatives: The unit needed a good clean. There were numerous cobwebs on the ceiling beams that had clearly been there a while. The extractor fan and light over the oven didn't work. Its quite dark inside, and one of the lights over the dining table was hanging out of the ceiling. Not all that private, as soon as you open your curtains to let natural light in, other units can see inside. Outside area for our unit was cramped and furniture needed a clean. Overall, not bad for a last minute booking, but would be better with a bit of TLC.
Swiss-Belsuites Pounamu Queenstown
4.3/569 Reviews
Decent location, great views and spacious, as we rented the entire space being apartments A and B. Unfortunately, the apartment is dated, we chose to stay in an apartment so we had the option to cook some meals for our young family, but the kitchen was limited at best and the equipment provided was cheap and not sufficient. Further, the ‘entertainment system’ was farcical! Having to cast from your own phone using a 3rd party app is hardly a luxury facility and is a security risk. Adding insult, the oven door fell off, while we we using it! The hotel staff suggested that we move to another apartment, using our time and hours to do this, but they were fully booked so we couldn’t move and tbh, shouldn’t have needed to since the oven was reported broken Saturday morning and they should have had plenty of time to repair/replace it, if they had appropriate services in place. The daily breakfast was a load of muesli, milk, yogurt and fruit provided at the beginning of our 5 night stay - again, not well considered and certainly not what I’d associate with high quality.
The Central Private Hotel by Naumi Hotels
4.5/568 Reviews
From the service we received the minute we arrived we were happy with our experience. Alex the on duty manager was friendly and helpful and explained everything we needed to know. We loved the decor in the room and all the little extras were appreciated. Tissues, snacks, and of course the tea and coffee. I loved the full cream milk left in the fridge for us. The beautiful cups and saucers were lovely to drink from. We enjoyed our wee time in the bar at happy hour, and the wine was delicious thankyou. I also love cashew nuts so I appreciated those. We both enjoyed a bath before bed, and my husband and I agreed that it was the most comfortable bath we have ever had. We loved the sloping back…so sensible and practical! I also used the bath salts provided thanks so much! We had a good nights sleep, although I am not a fan of feather down pillows( I know they are considered luxurious and I have a few at home) but I prefer a firm smaller pillow, so improvised with a towel wrapped in one of my jerseys. After that I dropped off to sleep in the bed which was super comfy and roomy! We enjoyed our light breakfast in the morning, and also the little extra tasty pastries which were a lovely treat. We will definitely choose your hotel over others again if we have the choice in another destination. Thanks for a fabulous night 😃👍

Melbourne Lodge
4.1/5113 Reviews
This is undoubtedly the worst motel I have ever stayed at in New Zealand. I should have known. It wasn’t boding well when I walked into the Reception area and noted how dirty the carpet was, the walls badly chipped and marked and the sweet, sickly, permeating smell of many a previously cooked meal. Shown to our room (which we had upgraded from a ‘shared bathroom’ set up to an ensuite room for an extra $60), our senses were assaulted by the smell of a ‘plug-in’ wall air freshener that was so strong it had us wondering what it was trying to mask. Shabby, old, tired and bashed furniture, snagged and dirty bed bases with no valences, light switches that clearly hadn’t seen cleaning products for a while, we decided to leave. We were offered a further upgrade to a bigger room and as we couldn’t find anything nearer to our next days meeting point, we hesitantly took it. Very little change at all. Weary from our travels, we decided to stick it out. It was only the next morning, in the light of day, that I really paid attention to some of the finer details I missed the night before. The photos will give the reader an idea. This place is a dump and I hope our overseas tourists don’t think the rest of our hoteliers operate at this level.
