LyLo Queenstown

5.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (605)
"Great location in Qtown. Vibe was very 18-30 yo single traveler. Music was a little loud in the bar/common area. No seating in the shared kitchen made meal times more challenging for our family group with a 6 month old infant. Rooms were clean and well organised, but very small. Bathrooms in the room were excellent."

"I was accommodated in a single room. First, the staff was super nice and helpful. The kitchen's equipment examplary. Nice lounge area. Everything seemed modern and clean. But: my room was quite loud. There was constant droning sound that earplugs couldn't get rid of. When somebody used the bathroom next door it became almost comically noisy. There was a large window but only a simple blind to cover. Also, it was quite cold both in the room and the bathroom but there were no heaters. When you pay...

"This is my second time stating here (4 bunk room and 2 bunk room) and I am always very happy with my stay. The rooms are vacuumed everyday, garbage picked up everyday as well, the bathrooms and kitchen are maintained regularly which makes for a comfortable stay. I like the that there are charging ports in every bed as well as curtains for privacy. The only things that I could say were a little less positive was my check in, no one was at the front desk as it was late, the self check in did not...

La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown

4.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (977)
"We booked this “aparthotel” because it included a washer/dryer and small kitchen - which was very convenient after a week of trekking. We would recommend this place if you have a car (limited parking available) and/or don’t mind walking about 15 min to shops and restaurants. The Remarkables area is pretty close to the airport but somewhat remote from downtown Queenstown, which we didn’t mind as we had already stayed in the busy CBD before we began our trek. Cell service outside of the hotel WiFi...
