The prime location offers easy access to the excitement of Queenstown, and the fully equipped rooms ensure a comfortable, enjoyable and practical stay, complete with stunning lake views!

"Location is just a 10min walk to the center of downtown Queenstown. The place is clean and cozy. There’s a big kitchen communal area that occupies almost the entire first floor. People can cook their food there. I think all cooking utensils and tools are provided. For the room, I stayed in a one bunk bed (2single beds). Space is enough for two occupants. Each bed has it’s own light and power sockets. Locker is also available to put your valuable things. Just bring your own lock. Also, bring your own towels. They don’t provide it for free. You have to rent it and pay NZD4. Common toilets and showers were clean and spotless during my four night stay."

"The handsome men and beautiful women at the front desk genuinely and sincerely helped guests with their questions and needs. My three-night stay was truly fantastic! The rooftop offers stunning mountain and lake views, and the cozy fireplace makes you feel like you're in a secluded paradise. Getting around is super convenient. After leaving Queenstown Airport, you only need to walk about 100 meters to find the #1 public transport bus. Remember to buy a transport card at the airport bookstore beforehand; it's very convenient and cheap, especially if you're traveling alone or with one other person. One card is all you need. To get to this hotel (Leloo Hotel), take the bus from the airport. After about 20 minutes, get off at Stanley Street, which is a major transport hub, just a 4-minute walk from the hotel. You'll know it's the right stop because it's at the bottom of a big downhill road, with a large park on your right. The bus stops are conveniently divided into A, B, and C sections. Getting to Arrowtown only takes 25 minutes and costs 2.5 New Zealand dollars. There are many popular, Instagrammable shops nearby, like Fergburger. Even if you're vegetarian, don't worry, they all have Chinese menus."

"Quiet hostel, no unnecessary noise. Everything is quite basic, but perfectly fine for a couple of nights. The room is clean, beds are comfortable, nothing fancy. Common areas are decent. The staff is friendly. The only thing is, you can tell it's a budget option, without any special frills. But if you just need a place to sleep, it's perfectly acceptable."

"Clean, tidy, and generally comfortable stay. The room was quite compact, but there was just enough space to store and open large suitcases, and there are heavy drawers under the bed for storage (no lock provided). The building itself is narrow and compact, with quite a few stairs required to access the kitchen, bathrooms, lounge areas, and some rooms, which may be inconvenient for those with heavy luggage or limited mobility. Our ground-floor room was directly below the shower units, and with thin walls, noise from water running, footsteps, and street traffic (as it’s centrally located on a main road) was noticeable. Light sleepers may find this disruptive. Facilities are good, with two shared kitchens (stovetops, toaster, microwave, kettle, fridge, cutlery, and crockery), indoor and balcony seating areas, and a large lounge (TV plays DVDs only). There are multiple shared unisex bathrooms, including single units and a space with two showers and toilets. This may not suit everyone. Cleaned in the morning but gets dirty by end of day. On a positive, there are plenty of bath mats, liquid soap, and a hair dryer are provided. Laundry is available via QR code payment (around $6 per wash or dry), and on-site parking is offered at $40 per night. Towel available for hire ($4). Staff super friendly."

The overall experience was great, and I made friends from all over the world in just two nights. Not only were the staff friendly and welcoming, but the location was also very convenient, and the price was even better. This small hostel is also perfect for shy and introverted people."

"We arrived in Queenstown by car very late. This was the only hotel that answered our call after 10 PM and said check-in was possible at any time. The hotel is right in the center. There are a lot of young people who came to have fun in Queenstown. There are free parking lots near the hotel in the evening and at night. During the day, you can only park there for half an hour. So we had to wake up at 8 AM to move the car to a free parking lot further away."

The communal kitchen space was organized and easy to use. The sauna is the reason I will book again when in Queenstown. 🥰"

"The backpacker is still a clear gap in the room type compared to other youth hotels in the town, because it is not possible to catch up with the car, so it is temporarily set for one night. Overall, it depends on the price comparison. The facilities in the room are relatively simple and should be changed by self-built houses. But the front desk lady sister service is very warm, the introduction is detailed."

The service attitude is super great. Luggage can be stored for a long time. When I got home late, the staff specially turned on the air conditioner to warm up the room. It's really amazing. I highly recommend everyone to come here! It's just a bit far to walk to the central area. But it's really worth recommending.

We were in „lake view“ apt. no. 14, one of those which had just been renovated and thus was in top condition, spotless clean, and very comfy. With its well equipped kitchen we were able to enjoy self cooked breakfast and dinner, while the modern bathroom let us have a nice shower. The heatpump was unobtrusive, easy to keep us warm inside at freezing temperatures outside. The staff was very friendly and helpful, a small issue was quickly solved. We can definitely recommend staying at Luxe, also because of the very close proximity to the town centre. We will surely book again when next time in Queenstown.

蠻不錯的,離購物街特別近,步行幾分鐘就到了。我們玩了纜車和蒸汽船,酒店大概在這兩個點的中間位置,都是幾百米的樣子,特別方便。前台小哥很熱情,我們提前到的,把行李寄存後就出去玩了,小哥把房卡給我們後就幫我們把行李都搬到房間了,退房時碰到也幫我們搬了行李。窗户的縫隙會有點漏風,但晚上在床上睡着就不會冷,空調吹着還有點熱。有微波爐可以加熱食物,挺好的。

The room is very clean and equipped with all amenities and kitchenware. Super easy to access and close to city centre. But please be aware is you walk to the city from the hotel you have to walk down the hill through the park. The shower box in the room is not quite sealed to the water splashed out of the shower box all the time.

We loved Alexis Motel! We found very friendly and helpful staff. Kyle did a great job in greeting us, showing us our room and helping us orient ourselves in Queenstown. The location was perfect. Most rooms have a great view. They are comfortable and spacious. Kitchenette had everything we needed. The prices were one of the most reasonable in Queenstown.

The quad room was a bit cramped. It had a basic kitchenette, and the facilities and cleanliness were just average. Self check-in is available after 5 PM, with clear instructions at the front desk entrance. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the city center.

We had originally booked a cheaper motel, but when we received a notification from the hotel that it was fully booked, Trip.com upgraded us to this hotel (the price on the platform was 1.5 times the original price). We were very satisfied with this hotel and thank the hotel staff for their enthusiastic and attentive service.
