Our family really enjoyed the stay at this Holiday Inn, the staff and service are amazing. The rooms were clean, modern and intuitive. We will definitely be staying again.
The hotel is new and close to the town centre albeit a short uphill walk coming back. We loved the two queen bed setup which is perfect for 2A+2C. Good buffet breakfast selection. Will stay here again when we come back to Queenstown.
The location is perfect: 5 minute walk to the Gardens and lake front promenade. Hotel parking was full but we found free parking on the near by street for two nights. Breakfast was pretty good and rooms were new and specious.

Great hotel, great location! Very clean, quiet. Huge lobby with nice design. Great breakfasts! Friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Amazing hotel and amzing staff!! Paras and Garry took such good care of us. Rooms were good and clean, great location and close to everything. I highly recommend this place if you are planning a trip to Queenstown.
Not much choice. No cheeses or cold meats. Rotated between vegetable fried rice or noodles, were tasty though. Staples- sausages, hash browns or potato gems and scrambled eggs. Had fresh fruit, compote, yoghurt, cereals and jams.
Hotel was clean and convenient to cafes and restaurants. Would stay again
Excellent location
Clean room
Friendly staff

Will definitely stay again.
This holiday in was extremely busy with bus tours and they handled things awesome! Wait time was minimal for check-in. Also so many for the breakfast buffet but no problem was ran excellent!
Room very clean and nice!
