Was just like a hotel as we had a private room, only downside is there is a nightclub round the corner which goes till 4am but was such a nice stay
Verified Expedia guest review

6/10 Good

Very convenient to shopping and dinning, but very noisy at night due to many beer houses and night clubs near by the building, there is one just at the ground floor of the building.

4/10 Fair

I understand that Queenstown is expensive, but for a small ensuite room with no external windows and an air-conditioner that not only didn't work but sounded like an aircraft was flying over the room, the value was terrible. The location however was great.

Everything was as to be expected from a backpacker but they put me in a room right next to a bar that didnt close till 3am... Then a person in my room got up at 5am. I had to wake up at 6 am. No sleep!
