Had a great two night stay here in a two bedroom apartment. Our apartment had everything we needed, space, comfort and warmth. The staff were friendly and helpful, we didn't have alot of interaction with them but when in Queenstown it's not about the interaction with staff it's about the place! The location if the hotel is great, puts in... More

We stayed at the Copthorne for 2 nights recently. The hotel itself is very much in need of an upgrade its definitely a bit tired and worn. Rooms were fine comfortable and basic, beds were comfortable and shower pressure good. Reception staff a bit bland and not overly welcoming, also cleaning staff were trying to get into our room at...

My partner and I booked this place as a mystery deal on wotif, it was described as a four star hotel. We were on the tiniest budgets as I am a student, so we couldn't do anything in Queenstown but go out for a nice dinner. We arrived at the hotel, the man at reception was not friendly at all,...

We spent 2 nights at this place in April 2013, cannot rate it too high compared to other accomodations in Queenstown, but not terrible either. The rooms are bit below standard for the price we were charged, service was same. The location however, was awesome as it is directly in full view of Lake Wakatipu. This makes it very easy... More

Room was a good size and ours was one with a kitchenette which we really appreciated. Don't think this complex would ever get any natural warmth into it but the heater worked well. On the main road, within walking distance of the town centre. Nice views, single glazed and very clean. Think the bathroom had been recently renovated. Hubby enjoyed... More

I have stayed here a couple of times now and the location is perfect. A 10 minute downhill walk to the centre of Queentown and a 15 - 20 minute uphill walk to get back to the hotel. We had hired a big 12 seater Toyota Hiace Minibus and I was initially a bit worried about car parking, but there... More

Well Queenstown is gorgeous with views to die for. The rooms here give you that view, simply breathtaking. Which is more to be said of the reception, bar and rooms. Christ this is a basic hotel that must have been updated back in the 1970s! The staff are pleasant enough if not a little incompetent, the bar is overpriced and... More

This hotel was inexpensive for the area but for a few (2-10) more dollars a night you could stay elsewhere. The furniture was dated. The rooms lacked any style. There was not even a comfortable chair to sit in. Being lake view with an outdoor patio, there was a slight smell- not fresh. The beds were soft but passable. It... More
