The location is very good, the real lake view room. From the outside, the building looks a bit dated, but the rooms are typical motels with clean beds. That is, the bathroom window of our room is connected to the corridor, if someone in the corridor can hear it better. There is a door between the other two standard rooms, so the sound insulation effect is average.
Going out from the side door is the downtown area of Queenstown, which is very convenient. And the location is at the entrance to Queenstown, so you don't have to go through the urban traffic jam to go to the airport or Arrow town. There is nothing to say about the location.
The disadvantage is that there are kitchen and tableware but no pepper, salt and salad oil. I asked the counter and the reply was to go to the supermarket to buy it by myself. Also the oven in the room was malfunctioning and couldn't be used.
The service attitude is good. It was very hot on the day we arrived, but the hotels and apartments in Queenstown have no air-conditioning, only electric fans (super noisy), and there is only one, so I asked by phone to borrow another fan, and I was very polite. Look inside the counter (the counter is closed).
Considering the overall location and cp value is very good, but it would be better if the equipment can be strengthened.
The décor of the rooms were excellent and the small touches - such as the music that plays when you walk into the room, and the small bar area, the art work, and the welcome book - were really special. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were quite, and the size of the room was prefect for two people. There is a sauna available to use by in-house guests, which is excellent after a long hike. Overall, the quality of the room was value for money.
There is also a restaurant, but sadly it was not open the day that we stayed (Monday). We were quite upset about that as we had read very good reviews about the chef and food quality! Whilst the staff were nice at check in, they did not give much information about the premises (i.e. they didn't give us a tour or anything), and we had to ask a lot of questions.
The location is outside of town, but a short drive if you have a car, or a short bus ride (the bus stop is right outside the hotel).
Overall, I would highly recommend to stay here!

Environment: The most important thing is the environment. It is right in the center of Queenstown. Open the window and you will see the largest lake.
Facilities: There is a small happy hour living room with many Chinese elements and a wide variety of wines.
Hygiene: Hygiene is okay, but water easily flows out of the bathing area
Service: The young lady who received me in Queenstown on the first day was very enthusiastic.
Walked out onto the balcony and we were met with these stunning views.
The time that we visited (May) meant that it was slightly too cold to be out on the balcony for too long, but the views that we enjoyed out of the window were magnificent.
When the first arrived the lady on the front desk was very friendly, and helpful.
We had asked for a double bed and had been allocated two single beds. She quickly contacted the ladies from house keeping and they very kindly sprung into action to help rectify the situation.
The housekeeping staff were nice and pleasant, and the location was just right for us to get out and about visiting some of the local attractions like the Kiwi birdlife park.
The big plus about staying at the highview apartments was having a parking space. When you visit queenstown you'll soon find out that in some places finding a parking space is like gold dust.
The location of this hotel is very good. It is right in the center of the town and you can walk to the most beautiful shore in three minutes. Anyway, it's convenient to go anywhere. The only problem is that you may have to look for parking on the roadside. The hotel room is really big, and the equipment and speakers inside are very good. It's also close to a bar, so it's a bit noisy at night. Everything in the refrigerator is free except alcohol, and there are unlimited refills. For breakfast, it is beautifully prepared on site downstairs. I remember that the big breakfast was about 30 New Zealand dollars. It is worth commenting and worth staying at.
It's very good. I booked a house with two bedrooms and one living room, with a yard. The kitchenware is complete and the room is also very nice. It takes about 7 or 8 minutes to walk to Big Face Burger. You have to walk up a steep slope and it will be tiring to drag your luggage. Standing at the door while the road was being built, it took a lot of time to find a place for the first time. Those with one bedroom and one living room are on the second floor, and those with two bedrooms and one living room are on the ground floor.
This Holiday Park was very clean for us and a child. The facilities provided here exceed expectations where there is a place to cook.
A very strategic location with the town of Queenstown only walking distance to the beautiful lake.
The staff here are also very helpful by providing advice to us where we plan to go skiing and are advised to go early in the morning with the weather forecast being quite good in the morning at 10.00 am.
My family loved this accommodation. We especially love its proximity to the town centre. We do not need to drive to the town centre, thereby saving us the hassle of finding a car park lot for our rental car.
Our unit comes with 2 twin beds, which is ideal for my two growing kids. The bedrooms are predominantly white theme, which is what we absolutely love.
The bathrooms are very clean and hotel like.
We like the washer and dryer too. We would have hope for a unit with a better view, though we do get to see mountains when we look up.
All I can say is that we love it!
The location is quite good, you can walk to and from the city center.
They operate several accommodation buildings, so you can park right in front of the entrance, but if there is no space, you have to park on the street. However, I remember that there were always cars.
The accommodation had a bit of a peculiar smell, but the facilities were new and not very comfortable.
The staff were very friendly, so there was no difficulty in checking in and out.
There were no other inconveniences.

Very Good
GGuest UserIt is clean, quiet and a very nice hostel! Except the room next door was a little loud on my second night of stay. The toilet and bathroom was clean too. Everything is good except hairdryer needs to be change. Would come back! And location is walking distance to the town.
CChunLanBath tap is too old needs to turn very hard to close it;
Breakfast is normal not much fruits at all,
gym is way too small and old,
After 9pm can not find the car park
ski equipment cannot bring to the inside of hotel, and ski storage room saying its all your own liability if lost or damage; doesn't feel like to put the ski equipment into the the storage.
GGuest UserThe room is as clean and user-friendly as always. Holiday Inn abroad is really the first choice for cost-effectiveness. There is a parking space. It is very good to stay for one night. It is also convenient to buy burgers and so on in the city. The view is not much. It is mainly for staying. If you want a view, you still have to go to the Lake View Hotel. Hahahaha, recommended
GGuest UserWe stayed two nights the room had lots of space tv was great had enough variety of channels to keep us entertained. The downside was that the room was really hot for two nights but we did ask for a fan and they sent one to the room so that helped a lot.
MMary Beatrice JamerlanLyLo’s location is super convenient and ideal for tourists since it’s right in the city center and walking distance to restaurants (like Fergburger) and a bunch of shops 💯 not to mention it’s surrounded by great views 🤩 rooms are clean and services are complete
TTA very beautiful hotel which needs a bit of uphill walk for about 15 mins from the town centre. There're no shops restaurants in the neighbourhood but one can eat at its restaurant or room service. The room itself is very spacious, clean, well equipped and our room overlooks the lake which is great. The pickup point for Milford Sound tour we joined is along the street in front of the hotel (Stanley Street).
I tried the buffet breakfast which is so so with limited choices.
Overall I love this hotel especially the price is great compared with other hotels at the very central location.
MMatthew LimSwiss Belsuites was our favourite accommodation across the 9 accommodations we stayed during our holiday in New Zealand! We absolutely love how spacious the place is. Huge cooking space with a comfortable living room with a large L-shaped sofa made for many nights in to cook our own dinner, which was made even easier with the provision of two dishwashing machines and almost every cooking equipment/cutleries you may need. It is also the only accommodation where we got to enjoy using a smart TV where we could easily use our own subscription accounts (via scanning QR codes) to stream videos during our dinners. The bedroom is also really comfortable and the toilet was very clean as well. We also had our washing machine and dryer, which was really useful as we were in New Zealand for two weeks. The best part of our stay was the view of Lake Wakitipu which we could enjoy from our living room. Was such a great stay that we were so sad to check out at the end. Highly recommended!!
AAudrey ExplorerOut of town, but enjoyed the quiet place. There are 2 nice restaurants opposite the hotel. We are greeted by happy hotel staff that makes the stay pleasant.
GGuest UserConvenient location with comfortable rooms.
Three kitchens, all stocked with enough utensils and equipment to cook. However, very busy at meal times.
Also hardly any room to store food in the fridge/cupboards, possible due to the amount of long term residents resulting in severe lack of food storage room actually free.
Few toilets/showers, not enough for the amount of people staying at the accommodation.
Also very limited parking! Arrive early before other guests if you want to squeeze into a space.
Bonus was free tea/coffee.
Good location for access to Queenstown and local walks (see picture).
NNelA great experience for a female solo traveler. I
Pros
I shared a female dorm with three other women and had a great time getting to know those coming in and out. The shared bathroom was always clean (cleaned every day).
The communal kitchen is large and well-organised. You can make use of condiments that get left behind. As it was still cold, there are always fires burning both in reception and the common room. It makes the atmosphere very cosy.
The best service I got was from their information desk, which is located in the reception area. As I didn't have a credit card and businesses like Snowbiz in town don't accept cash, I was able to pay for ski passes and rental by making a booking at the service desk (they have a card machine and also accept cash).
Cons
This side of the hostel where my room was located, just experiences a lot of noise, as there are bars down below, despite the sliding door being sound-proof. Not all the reading lamps for each bed work and also need to be fixed. The shower leaked a lot of water, as the glass door doesn't properly close.
Overall though, a great stay and value for money. You do save on accommodation, as QT is an expensive town to visit.
The average price for hotels in Queenstown is AED 1,452 on weekdays, and AED 1,329 on weekends (Friday-Saturday).
