Dear Ben Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback and for your continued loyalty as an ALL Gold member.

Ben W. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel is arguably in the best location you can get in Queenstown. Waterfront and right next to the town centre, yet still quiet. The staff were friendly and attentive. Whilst the hotel was busy, it didn’t feel overcrowded. The let down of this property is the age of the hotel itself and the rooms. They are very small and dated, particularly in the bathrooms. The property is well overdue for renovation and I would definitely suggest other Accor properties in the area until this has been completed.

Andrew T. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

hotel is nice but the inability to book adjoining rooms and the multiple error in my bill has taken the edge off the experience

Dear Andrew Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your continued loyalty as an ALL Gold member. We're pleased that you and your family enjoyed the hotel overall, particularly the cleanliness of your accommodation and our breakfast offering. We understand your disappointment regarding the adjoining rooms. We have a limited number of these rooms available and, while we always do our best to accommodate such requests, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee them. When adjoining rooms are unavailable, we make every effort to allocate rooms as close together as possible. We also sincerely apologise for the multiple billing errors you encountered. We recognise how frustrating this would have been, particularly when settling your account at departure, and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback has been shared with our Front Office team to help improve the accuracy of our billing procedures. We have also noted your comments regarding WiFi accessibility and connection speed. Thank you again for your constructive feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you and your family with a smoother experience on your next visit.

Vidhu S. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed across two properties in New Zealand. Peppers in Lake Tekapo and Novotel Queenstown. We liked the hospitality in Peppers better. While the overall stay was fine at Novotel, the staff felt a bit rigid in their dealings and could do more to address guests' concerns and to make people feel taken care of.

Dear Vidhu Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your loyalty as an ALL Gold member. We're pleased that your overall stay was comfortable, although we recognise that the service you experienced did not leave the same positive impression as your stay at Peppers Lake Tekapo. We appreciate your comments regarding our team's approach and understand the importance of making guests feel welcome, listened to and well looked after. Regarding breakfast, our buffet includes dedicated vegetarian and health and wellness sections, offering a range of options beyond the Indian dishes mentioned. However, we appreciate that the selection may not have met your personal preferences, and we have noted your feedback. We're glad you had a positive departure experience and that the WiFi met your expectations. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have the opportunity to provide a more welcoming experience on a future visit. Kind regards, Tristan Shepherd Guest Relations Team Novotel Queenstown Lakeside.

Daljeet K. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Very disappointed in the hotel. Carpets torn and dirty. Bathrooms are outdated with shower handles coming off. Paid extra to "upgrade" to a new room because the first room had dirty carpets and was very outdated. The new room only had a better view but same issues as previous room. The only positive for this hotel is the location otherwise nothing much to offer. Would not book this hotel again unless things are fixed here.

Kia Ora Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your stay fell so far below your expectations. While we're pleased you appreciated our central location, we recognise that the condition and presentation of the accommodation significantly affected your experience. Your comments regarding the carpets, bathroom fittings and overall cleanliness have been shared with our Housekeeping and Maintenance teams for review. We also understand your disappointment with the room upgrade. Our room categories differ primarily in features such as location, outlook and balcony access, rather than the overall age or design of the accommodation. However, we appreciate that paying an additional amount and finding similar concerns in the second room was frustrating. We have also noted your low ratings for our team, arrival experience and WiFi, which indicate that your concerns extended beyond the accommodation itself. Thank you for providing specific feedback about your stay. We regret that your experience did not leave you wishing to return. Kind regards, Tristan Shepherd Guest Relations Team Novotel Queenstown Lakeside.

Spiros C. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Perfect start to a road trip north. Flew into Queentown and stayed for first night. Located right on the lake in central Queentown. You can walk everywhere from this location. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was adequate and good value for money. Make sure you pre book the night before as it is cheaper than walking in on the morning.

Dear Spiros Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for your loyalty as an ALL Classic member. We're pleased we could provide such a positive start to your family's road trip. It's great to hear that you enjoyed our lakeside location, with Queenstown's shops, restaurants and attractions all within easy walking distance. We're also glad you found our team friendly and welcoming, and that breakfast represented good value for money. We appreciate you sharing the helpful tip about booking breakfast in advance. Thank you for choosing Novotel Queenstown Lakeside. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your travels through New Zealand and look forward to welcoming you back on a future visit.

Angelica K. F. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

The rooms were generally comfortable, although some could benefit from renovations and updating. We also noticed that a few rooms had an unusual, musty smell, similar to that of a damp cloth, which could be improved with better ventilation or a more thorough refresh. On a much brighter note, the staff were genuinely lovely, friendly, and accommodating, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The food was absolutely amazing and definitely one of the highlights of our experience. Overall, despite a few areas that could use improvement, we had a pleasant stay thanks to the excellent service and delicious food. I would still recommend this place and would happily consider coming back again!

Dear Angelica Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback and for your loyalty as an ALL Classic member. We're pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay, particularly the food and the friendly service from our team. It's wonderful to hear that our kitchen team and their manager made such a positive impression. Thank you also for mentioning New and myself. We both appreciate your kind words. We have noted your comments regarding the condition of the rooms, particularly the musty odour and ventilation concerns, and have shared these with our Housekeeping and Maintenance teams for review. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the arrival experience. A warm welcome and clear communication are important, and we recognise that your check-in experience could have been better. Thank you again for your balanced feedback and recommendation. We're glad you would consider returning, and we hope to welcome you and your family back to Queenstown.

Yun Z. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel is in a great location, right at the entrance to Queenstown Gardens, with easy access to the main shopping and commercial area. The breakfast selection is relatively good, and the cold dishes include smoked salmon. As a member, I was also able to order freshly made coffee. The only downside was that one of the bedside lamps was not working.

Dear Yun, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed our fantastic location, breakfast selection, and freshly made coffee as a member. We’re sorry that one of the bedside lamps was not working during your stay. Your feedback has been shared with our Maintenance team for follow-up.
