QT Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"My 4th time staying at this wonderful hotel. The new reception area is just amazing. My room was comfortable with everything I needed. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The whole vibe is what makes QT the best!"

The Rees Hotel and Luxury Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Loved my stay here and will be staying again next time I visit! The location was perfect, ideally situated to everywhere we wanted to be, while also remaining peaceful and relaxing. The room and the hotel itself were spotless and the staff were lovely. I was really impressed with my stay here."

La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown

8/10 Good

"The check in and out process was super easy and the room was nice for what we needed it for. The fridge wasn't turned on when we got there (no issue but just to be mindful) so we had to pull it out to turn it on! The bathroom and bed was tidy, and the heat-pump was very appreciated. The location is a little bit further than we thought it was as we didn't have a car, but thankful it didn't rain while we were there and the bus stop was a 5-10 minute walk away. Close to amenities such as a supermarket (New World), a cinema, and some local cafes and shops. The view in front of the hotel was stunning, and considering our proximity to the airport, we couldn't hear any planes landing or taking off. We could hear a little bit from rooms above and next to us, so something to consider if you are a light sleeper."
