Lovely staff and the management. They made our 30th anniversary very special and memorable. They gave us lots of surprises for our anniversary. When we enter the room there were lovely bottle of wine and chocolate with a greeting card which we didn’t expect on our arrival. We had a wonderful time there and never forget it. Will definitely recommend Hilton and will be visiting there again soon.
Staff were amazing and always make us comfortable and enjoy our stay there.
Very special thank to the front check in staff member Srijan who was so helpful and very supportive and also the Wakatipu restaurant manager for arranging a lovely anniversary dinner table for us with a greeting card and champagne.
Everything was great.
Thank you everyone who made our stay so memorable.
See you soon again.
I was lucky to receive an upgrade and it was much appreciated, my room was Devine. Staff were all so lovely and helpful. Great quiet area, comfy beds, cosy warm rooms . Can’t wait to come back
We were very surprise on the location of the hotel. It was near the mountain and the lake and the view was wonderful.
The staffs of the hotel who assissted us Jessy during our check in and Johara when we check out were very helpful to us. Great job to them!
We only stayed the night before a flight, but the room was more than adequate and comfortable. It would have been very convenient to have an airport shuttle (free or at a fee) as parking is NZ $16/day, but I understand it may not be feasible. All in all, I would recommend this property to others.
Our stay at the Hilton was superb. The checkin staff team - Lee & her colleague Arun recognised road weary travellers & took over, helping with our bags and recommendations. The room was spacious with a deep bath and comfortable bed. Our dining experience delicious and the outdoor fire pit a special treat. Our overall
impression was of a professional team delivering a great service. Thank you.
Relatively quiet considering how close to airport, a little noisy at times. Loved the water taxi

It's in a great location and very clean, however the room size was extremely small for the price. The hand wash dispenser on the basin was empty, as was the conditioner dispenser in the shower. Reception was unattended a number of times when we wanted to ask for these to be replenished. The room service menu didn't load on the TV (and there was no other menu in the room). We didn't like not being able to see the TV from the bed. Overall, a disappointing stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton.
Pretty good stay. Staff was amazing too and food’s great. Just one drawback where they don’t have 24/7 room service (Dinning options after 10PM) other then that pretty good.
We like this location and have stayed at the Hilton Hotel next door several times. The apartment we had was a definite step down, but the price for 5 nights was only $100 less than the Hilton. Too much for the quality of the accomodation. Front desk staff were excellent. Room was not vacuumed at all over the 5 nights.

I did like the view and was unique coming down a steep hill to it. The one way system made it easier to negotiate the roading. Most amenities and dining was at the Hilton. Was close to Remarkables park.
Didn’t like having to pay for parking as a hotel guest.
Location was beautiful, close to 5 Mile Mall and 7 minutes to the Airport. Staff at reception were very helpful and friendly.

Wasn't great there was someone's Invisiline left on the floor by chair, and 4 big dead flies left as well. Apart from that, room was nicely appointed. A bit dark and view to a concrete wall and carpark. Still, easy to get to and from, enjoyed QT
The hotel looks like the photos. There is a beautiful lake view of the balcony and a spacious room and bathroom in a great area just outside of Christchurch near all the tours. However, the hotel and the room itself was filthy. There was items of garbage on the floor, the bathroom contained spills on the counters and hair in the sink and tub and the bedding contained significant stains including blood. The entire thing was super dusty especially the bed to the point where it was triggering our allergies quite significantly. Would be such a beautiful place if only it was clean!
Had to pay for parking. Hotel was on a hill which made it rather difficult to navigate around the building—we figured it out though. Got upgraded to a nicer room for free which was very exciting!
For the price paid this should be a five star hotel. It is a three star at best. It is not much more than a place to get some sleep after a long flight however you pay for a luxury room. Very disappointed in the value.
Fabulous location with great parking facilities that are chargeable. Room was great although around the shower was looking like it needed replacing and would prefer shower screens.
