Mi-pad Queenstown

Mi-pad Queenstown

10/10 Excellent
"Great little hotel ideally placed right next to the CBD. Clean, tidy and quiet. The rooms are a bit on the small side and the hotel lacks a few things like any form of cutlery, in-room tea / coffee making facilities but there is a handy vending machine located in the corridor just outside the rooms, so it's not too big a deal. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay."
