"Great modern hostel on the lakefront a short 5 mins from the centre of queenstown.
Good rooms and clean hot showers. Comfy lounge with pool table.
Parking can be tricky - like most places.
A hot tub or sauna would be a great addition to the hostel a day of skiing!"

Mercure Queenstown Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Very friendly helpful staff. Room was neat and clean. "
"Walking distance to all things Queenstown and literally have a bus stop out the front for Shuttle service to the Ski Resorts or public buses to Arrowtown, Arthurs Pt and more.
Able to access a shuttle service to Milford Sound etc. great location.
Hotel itself has a nice restaurant had the pizza and beer/wine deal for $35 NZ and pizza was great.
If nothing appeals to your liking on the menu less than 5min walk to the CBD of Queenstown. Super convenient."
"Just outside of Queenstown centre where there are plenty of food and dining options. We did have a car and it only took us a couple of minutes to drive there so it would be about 10-15 min walk to the centre. Apartment was clean and modern and the bed was comfortable. We really liked the gas fire place. "
