Holiday Inn Express & Suites Queenstown by IHG
4/10 Poor
"It would have been nice to know that the hotel was under going major building works on the front reception and dining area. The breakfast while a buffet was ok but they were no options to purchase omelettes or fried eggs. The sausages were only chicken sausages. The bar was a temporary structure, not somewhere I would sit and relax after a day out. It was ok if you drink spirits no beer on tap and limited bottled beer. The service staff managed very well considering what they are working with."
"A bit like your own private Koru lounge. Great spot if you have an early flight out of Wellye especially if you have to drop off a rental car. Only gripe was the large number of empty room service trays in the hallway on the way to the room. Apart from that it is a great option if you're tight on time & want somewhere comfy."
"The room was not clean. There was a used plaster/ bandaid stuck to the wall inside my closet. The cleaning staff are scheduled to come at 3pm and are not accommodating around your schedule. The reception staff are unhelpful and rude."
"Excellent location! Helpful staff and very clean tidy facility’s. Will absolutely come again and recommend people to come and stay while in Christchurch."
"If you're visiting Queenstown, this is absolutely the best location. It is an easy walk to all the best restaurants and attractions. And the Thrifty car hire is right across the street. We stayed for a week. We hired a car for the last three days to do some day trips. We found overnight car parking on the street but you have to pay after 9am.
Some of the hotel's facilities need some work. In the laundry, 3 of the 6 machines were out of order. And the spa was out of action. We went to the outdoor hot pools up by the gondola.
We would definitely stay here next time if we come to Queenstown again."
"Nice and convenient place to stay especially with early flights. Found check in was slow as was getting our bags to our room. Bar on top floor was great, staff super attentive. Comfortable beds and room was spacious."
