Christopher
This is probably a very nice hotel under normal circumstances, but they are currently (July/August 2026) under renovation. The construction work and noise aren’t great, and you have to walk through a long, cold under-construction corridor to get to the lobby and restaurant. I’m sure the restaurant is normally very good, but with so few guests, the food was meh. We had both dinner (lamb was good, salmon was way overcooked) and breakfast (waffles were good, eggs Benedict were overcooked). I would go again, but after the construction is done.
Yu
a good stay
Gerald
The hotel was located in a dark sky area. The hot water for half the hotel is by individual unit and the aystem is old so we tan out of water during our first shower. The non-rehabbed room are much in need of an upgrade.
zoe
There's a lot of work going on at the moment so be aware of construction noise. Only stayed one night but it was bizarre. They have recently changed the room numbers but haven't altered the signs to direct you to them. There are no lifts and a fair few stairs if have heavy luggage. The workmen severed the wifi cable and after having already unpacked, was moved to the other side of the hotel to get a connection. This room was much better than the dated one on the other side but the sliding bathroom door wouldn't close. Lots of little new renovation niggles for them. The building is also a bit of a maze so get your bearings. The staff were very friendly and it's in a handy spot just off the main through road. The town is just a few minutes drive away. The room was clean and tidy. They don't skimp on the heating either. Bed was very comfy. Just visited at a bad time I think.

Excellent and pleasant stay at this hotel. Very happy with everything
Rod
It seemed strange not having sky and the sliding door on the room would not lock, but being upstairs it didn't really matter. The staff were brilliant and helpfull
Brian
The staff are great but the place is getting a bit tired. My room was single glazed and it was -4 degrees. Heat was supplied by a very noisy fan heater.
Shaghayegh
We stayed here for a quick sleep break. The room was spacious, the food was decent, and there was a lovely lounge/common area to relax, read a book, or use the iPad. The staff were friendly and welcoming.
Sarah

The hotel is completely over priced and the beds are so old and dipped in the middle.

The bathrooms need desperately updating. The fridge set to freezing so milk was frozen solid.
Dinusha
Nice exterior with stripe stone built. But worn out room interior and carpets. Our bathroom had a very bad smell. When reported, I was informed that the hotel is fully booked and we can switch to a different room next day. Receptionist came up and sprayed the bathroom with air freshener, which somewhat helped. But no one reached out and assisted to change the room next day. Only thing which can be appreciated was the decent breakfast buffet.

Great weekend

View and Value
Our second time staying here on our NZ trip and just as enjoyable as the first. Lovely jig, older style hotel with plenty of room. Nice breakout areas to have a read, look at the sights or have a quiet drink. Room was spacious, very comfortable and breakfast buffet included in accommodation. Good Al a carte menu or buffet for dinner. Another great place to stay and extremely friendly and helpful staff.
Alan
Roomy and comfortable.
On the way to Queenstown this is a perfect stay. Roomy, all the amenities. Rooms are big and the staff friendly. Good buffet option for dinner and breakfast is included. (Buffet). Place is quiet and relaxing. Has a couple of breakout rooms and a very comfortable reading room. Couldn’t fault this place. Feel really rested after a good night.

Great value for money. We were 10 in our group and staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable.
Meghan
This was the only place available for my dates and it’s clear why. The place is really dingy (stained carpet & duvet) and caters mostly to big tour buses. I was there just to sleep; when it rained I found a coffee shop to sit in rather than going back to the room
Julia
The bar staff were extremely helpful despite having a busy restaurant. The staff at the reception were casual and disinterested.
Rene
Old, tired but nice size room
Jacqui
Our welcome by the staff at reception was not very warm or friendly so my first impression was not very good. Our room was quite spacious and clean, but I admit that we didn’t realise that there were hotels that don’t have air conditioning, and this was one of them. Being a warm day and having a room on the second level our room was quite hot. They did provide a pedestal fan that helped. Breakfast was nice and the staff in the restaurant were friendly and helpful.
beijia
Outdated facilities, but friendly staff
Ankur
There aren't too many options in this area to begin with. Having said that, this hotel was clean, well maintained, had an onsite restaurant, and the service was good.
Do watch out for no elevators for 2nd floor rooms and the 10am check out requirement which is the earliest we've ever checked out.

Dave
Rooms dated. Grounds all around facility very plain and boring.Dinner and Breakfast very good
Carla
Overpriced and in poor condition. We stayed for 2 nights and booked 2 rooms for our stay. One of the rooms had a severely cracked tub and was leaking onto the carpet of the bedroom. The damage to the walls and musty smell showed that this had been going on for awhile. We moved rooms. Rooms were not very clean (socks hanging in the closet from previous guest and dirty dishes left). You are made to purchase the breakfast buffet ($34 pp). The buffet is mediocre and only available from 7am-9am. I would not recommend a stay here.
Olivia
Check in was easy and the staff were friendly. The food at the restaurant was pretty good as well. It had nice views of the mountains.
ZHIBAO

Emma

Allison
One night stay
The hotel is old and a bit run down. Only limited amount of time for hot water shower. I appreciated the fridge and kettle. The front desk was helpful and friendly when we requested a fan for our hot room and an extra towel. The continental breakfast was sub-par. I'm glad we only stayed one night.
Sachin
We had a convenient stay during our travel in the mount Cook region.

Nice Stay
Nice, older place. Very clean.
Akshay
Pros - The town itself is quaint and quiet. Very walk-able. The Hotel itself is a bit old style - but quiet well laid out. You can walk to the town center in 5-7 mins. where you have a handful of restaurants, Coffee shops and grocery stores. The Thai restaurant is good - fresh food with friendly staff.
The hotel staff is good and accommodating.
Cons - The rooms are old and don't have ACs. So if you need hot or cold - you just need to adjust and adapt. The bathrooms are also old, and can have stains etc.
They do offer breakfast - but its below par. They offer sugar laden syrupy fruits. No fresh fruits or fresh juices. The egg, bread, cereal, milk and fruit options are limited and canned.

Greg
An adequate room, although tired fittings suggest that a renovation might be in order. Good restaurant and buffet.
Dianne
Very outdated - guessing it was built in the 70’s and needs a full remodel. Hollow doors made us able to hear everything in hallways. Patio had no chairs so not really usable. Bed coverrs old and outdated.
Akshay
The property is clean but not very modern. Has a bit of an old /chalet like touch to it. The breakfast spread definitely limited with no only sweetened/syrupy fruits. There are no made to order eggs. The service staff - front desk and the restaurant are all very friendly and courteous.
The location of the hotel is perfect - right in the middle of the small town, 3-4 minutes of walking distance from the center of the town where local grocery store and restaurants are at. Self parking in front of the hotel structure is very convenient. The town itself is quaint, peaceful and beautiful. You can also rent bicycles from front desk if you like. Night sky/star gazing options around 8-10 minutes drive from the hotel is also a good option to explore.Would stay here again for sure !!

Nice stay
The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Nearby the hotel there is a food truck that sells very nice cod fish. Next to the food truck you could get the delicious pizza with generous fillings.

Best hotel for stopover on way to Queenstown
We travelled to Queenstown for work at least twice a year and it is a good half way point for us to stopover without driving over 6 hours straight. We always enjoyed their dinner buffet. The interior does look tired but clean. The room has 2 queen beds + 1 single and a bonus bath. Very good value for money for a short layover.
Stuart
Needs an upgrade but good food n service
The dinner offerings are plentiful and breakfast buffet very good. Bar service and reception also VG.
Rooms are tired and the hotel needs an upgrade or two e.g. water flow in shower awful

Average accommodation
Our hotel room was clean and spacious and the bed was quite comfortable.
We found the room was too warm at night and needed an air conditioner or at least a ceiling fan. There was no drinking water so the kettle has to be filled in the bathroom.
The buffet meal was good basic kiwi food but over-priced for what it was.
The staff member at reception was lovely but the ones in the dining room seemed rather unfriendly and disinterested.

Room was nice and very spacious. Bathroom needs a renovation though. I am 6’2” and the shower head was at my neck level.

Comfortable. A bit dated. Needs fan in room!
Room is clean, comfortable but a bit dated. Unfortunately there is no fan or air conditioners. Temperature was 22 degrees Celsius during daytime but at night the room was still too warm for my comfort.
Must be quite busy the night before as the rooms was not ready for half an our after checked in! Sat in the lounge waiting and reception was supposed to inform me when ready but did not!

The rooms were clean, just very outdated and worn. The linens were newer and clean. Twizel also has a good variety of restaurants to choose from that are a very short drive away.

Wouldn’t stay here again
The service at the restaurant was very good and the salmon was amazing! But everything else about this stay was pretty horrible. The sink didn’t drain (was digusting), the beds were not comfortable and smelled when we go to the hotel. You had 20 minutes of hot water until you had to wait 2 hours for it to be hot again. We only stayed a night and must say we were happy to leave. Honestly have stayed in better hostels….

No elevator! You have to take your bags on the 1st floor yourselves! No helper. No A/C!

It’s a small town with few places to stay. This is probably the best of the bunch. However this property could benefit from an update. Flooring, paint and bathrooms are the areas most in need of improvement.

The place was a little dated. The town was fine, but not very interesting.

A bit dated but overall it is very comfy. Great queen beds x2 in the room. Very spacious and very clean.
