One cannot control the other guests who chose to talk in the corridor outside my bedroom. my self contained room was next door to the 4 shared bathrooms. So next time , I will ask for a room away from the shared bathrooms. The self serve continental breakfast was plentiful.

Liked the building. Didn't like having no curtain (hard to have that with no curtain rod) on window. Stayed two nights and complained both times to different staff to no avail. Did like the breakfast. Lamb meal at $25 ran out so had to have an average (my medium rare steak turned out medium) steak meal at $44 which is expensive.

Quaint country hotel with a touch of nostalgia. Late check in was easy. My teenage daughter enjoyed seeing the original staircase and the display of old furniture, lounges, desk and typewriter etc. Enjoyed dinner and the complimentary continental breakfast in the dining room. The laminated placemat of the hotels history was a nice touch. Our room was adequate and the bathroom was recently renovated which was nice. Would have liked a pedestal fan as the room was a bit stuffy and the window rattled all night. Plus probably a little unsafe being on the second storey with no fly screen and as the door couldn’t be left open and the ceilings are high, the cool air outside didn’t have much affect. Did appreciate the large mugs for our tea/coffee and my daughter had her own space which was nice. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Conveniently next door to Queenstown train station for tourists which we also enjoyed the next day.

We stayed there just for a night but felt like we should have stayed for 3. Nice hotel inside and out- and very friendly and accommodating staff. With a touch of history, and with a feel of elegance, this hotel is a true holiday palace. Superb.

The room we were allocated was so small there was not enough floor space to open our small cases so we were offered a larger room which was OK.
