Hotel 3-Bintang di Otago, New Zealand

LyLo Queenstown locates at good location! There are many famous restaurants nearby there. You just take around 5 mins to go to Ferg family by walking. I think the kitchen is quite small because have users a lot but everything is clean, also bathroom.

This place was ok. The other guests that stayed here let me know it was not a good value for the price. Although they do give the place a quick wipe down and vacuum, it's in serious need a deep cleaning and some TLC. Also, every one of the guests in our unit scalded themselves on the water. Luckily, I only scalded my hand, one of the other guests got scalded in the shower. There is only one TV in the main room, so you're stuck watching whatever other guests are watching. I was pretty apalled when my husband went to the front desk to borrow a hair dryer and we had to leave a $50 deposit! The front desk was very helpful and friendly, they suggested some amazing places to eat. Much appreciated.

Easy and quick check in. Room was lovely and spacious, separate bedroom and lounge with a small fridge/jug. Housekeeping was excellent. Location is a few minutes walk from the Octagon, a bit of a climb walking back up, but doable, even though I huffed and puffed a little 🤣. The lift isn’t the fastest, only had to wait once during our 4 night stay. Requested a late check out as my flight to auckland wasn’t until the late afternoon, which was accommodated with a smile. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Would happily stay here again.

The up side: Location is very handy for town. Bed was comfortable. Reception staff very efficient and pleasant. The down sides: A very dated and impersonal bleak hallway to get to our room. Threadbare carpeting. Carpeting in our room very thin and rucked in areas. Bathroom very dated - wooden trim surround between bath and walls. Chipped bathroom door and rusting/chipped bath and sink. Scalding hot shower with temperamental tap/temperature gauge. Spluttering gushing water pouring out of the 'shower' like a big tap/water hydrant rather than a shower. Very unpleasant and felt quite dangerous. The bathroom sink was very low and I am just over 5ft tall and had to lean over. The toilet didn't flush very well. I was going to make a cup of tea before we left however the milk carton in the fridge was half full and had been snipped open and used. I therefore did not make a drink! I have emailed the general manager at the property but have had no response. I don't recommend this as a place to stay. I have stayed several times in the Scenic Suites part of this property without any hitches. I have lived locally for over ten years however wouldn't stay here again. This was a treat for my daughter and I and I feel very disappointed as the money spent on the room does not refect the quality and value received. Very pricey for what is on offer.

Friendly front of house and house keeping staff. Although there are staffing shortages everywhere, the staff here were always available and helpful. Our house keeping team although on a 3 day turn around service, did not get to service our room while we were there, offered towels and extra tea, coffee without hesitation when requested. Thank you so much! The decor is quite out dated and while at first it was off putting, (cream/green interior hallway and furniture, corridor stained carpets, seeing the size of our room and how clean it was made up for it. The bed was a king/possible super king, very comfortable and extra pillows provided. The continental breakfast is more than sufficient. Again the waiting staff I approached where happy to top up, add more (the pastries). Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We stayed for a week in our tent at The Camp. The natural beauty of the location is stunning, right on the shores of Lake Hawea. Perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming etc. A great spot to base yourself for a Central Otago holiday, just 15 minutes from Wanaka. Facilities are good and the on site food truck is a bonus when you feel like letting someone else do the cooking. Highly recommend!

Hilly place , good exercise. 16 mins walk to the city centre and gondola rides. Free breakfast and I like it 7-9am. The lady staff, was friendly . Plenty of parking spaces, amazing view. Don’t expect to much you get what you payed for. Room is just okay, we had TV, and microwave, electric kettle and fridge. The toilet is small but that’s expected , shower pressure is great!

Had such a fantastic experience staying with my friends at Ahuriri Motels. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, helping us sort out a scheduling mix up by our group on our bike tour through Omarama. Accommodations were simple but extremely clean and comfortable. Excellent lodging with beautiful surroundings. Would recommend to anyone passing through.

This is my second visit here which speaks for itself I guess. I spent five days here over the Christmas holidays when the place was very quiet, which suited me...but is probably not ideal for a standard review. It is however perfectly situated,central without the noise and minutes away for food shopping. There are plenty of toilet/shower areas and two reasonable size kitchens with a nice outdoor balcony to relax on. The only slight draw back for me are the dorms are somewhat ”cosy”, and the kitchen is not the best stocked in the world. Other than that it's a good place to be...and Steph and the team do a good job of keeping the place ship shape. Recommended

I found all staff friendly and helpful from bar staff right through to the domestic staff. The facilities were basic but comfortable. And the convenience of the Bus Stop was ideal if you needed to go into the City. Thanks for the pleasant stay I had. Thanks and Regards Nathan Allan.

caímos de casualidad en este hostel ya que se rompió nuestra campervan en queenstown y necesitábamos un alojamiento para pasar la noche. Y estamos muy contentos con la suerte que tuvimos de encontrar este lugar. Muy cerca del centro, a unos 5 minutos andando, muy limpio y seguro, con buenas instalaciones. Incluso disponían de un pequeño Spa que no disfrutamos por falta de tiempo, pero de volver a esta ciudad repetiríamos sin duda.

We stayed here two separete nights. We booked in advance and we were nervous to book the same hostel in case we didn't like it, but fortunately we did and it didn't dissapoint at all. The recepcionist was nice and welcoming to us, everything is clean, it has several kitchens and the common room is like a huge family room with sofa, covers, TV and board games all super cozy which is the perfect enviroment to NOT have a heart attack when you find out that the borders where you are connecting home are all closed and probably you'll have to stay in NZ forever (not a bad thing tho, but I was pretty poor at that point, lol). Anyway, the people is nice, the dorm room has its own bathroom inside which is a massive YES! The lockers are huge plus there are tiny lockers with outlets inside to put your devices (genious). The bunks are hardly bunks because they are pretty solid wood-made so even if your bunkmate moves a lot you won't notice. It has a courtine which is awesome for privacy, its own night light and outlets by your bed. Maybe the only downside is that the parking lot is really (really) tiny, which makes it very difficult to maneuver, specially when you have never driven in the left before, jaja. Other than that, awesome stay, if I ever go back to Queenstown, definetely would stay here again! :)

Stayed four nights at this hotel. An easy walking distance from the hotel to town. We had a nice, large room with separate lounge area, a huge bathroom including a bath and a fabulous lake view. The two queen beds were very comfortable and housekeeping was always early to tidy the rooms. Nice bar with nightly happy hour and a fantastic view of the lake. Paid parking in the outside parking area was always available during our stay. Unfortunately, we experienced a couple of negatives during our stay ~ we had to wait half an hour to enter our room upon arrival even though it was after 3.00pm and one afternoon there was no wi-fi access or TV for a few hours.

The motel advised that due to the presence of scaffolding, the view from the windows is obscured. That's a minor problem and not really a problem. What the motel did not make any mention of when both booking and checking in, was the fact that major renovations are taking place. This meant that at one point during my stay I returnwd to my room during the day hoping to relax, but discovered that all tne furniture and my belongings had been moved so that drilling, plastering and painting could be carried out. Had I not requested a new room, they would have expected me to sleep in the room with wet plaster or paint. Furthemore, the electric door lock kept failing, leaving me locked out of my room on multiple occasions. The customer service is awful and the planning of major work when guests are staying is thoughtless. The noise of tools and workers is very disruptive.

Easy and quick check in. Room was lovely and spacious, separate bedroom and lounge with a small fridge/jug. Housekeeping was excellent. Location is a few minutes walk from the Octagon, a bit of a climb walking back up, but doable, even though I huffed and puffed a little 🤣.

I was so pleased that we were able to get into this hotel as we had been told some really good things about it. I am sorry that it did not come up to expectations. I was there for one night with a friend. We chose this hotel because it had parking and a restaurant as well as a good sized room. Parking and the bedroom were fine (the beds very comfortable), the Restaurant looked really nice but was closed. The bathroom we had needed a good refurbishment. Shower might have been clean but because it was old and darkish it didn't appear so. The water for showering wasn't overly hot. There was a hole in the wood in front of the shower, and the basin was cracked. Cleaning of the room also needs to be upgraded, rubbish was found under the large bed. The information folder had no real information, one page printed front and back, no information re the Restaurant, close by restaurants, things to do in Dunedin, TV stations etc.

We were pleasantly surprised to find such beautiful accommodations in Dunedin but as usual using Tripadvisor’s suggestions, we thought we did very, very well. Beautifully appointed refurbished hotel with absolutely first class Fisher and Paykel appliances, a stunning view of downtown, and beautiful location right in the heart of the city. With an unmanned desk and everything conducted by text Internet or phone this location could be challenging for the not so savvy traveler, but we found it to be amazing. Probably the nicest hotel I have stayed in. Whoever developed this hotel has an extraordinary eye for design. Negotiating the no contact check in, the key card codes, and the adjacent carpark were all challenges, but with someone always available from a phone, this was accomplished. The very contemporary layout and color palette may not be too everyone’s taste, but we found it extraordinary and a rare find. We stayed in room 307 during shoulder season so heat was not an issue for us. Tip: if you are technologically challenged, this might not be your best bet since it is not traditional. If you are able to negotiate using a phone, text, etc., then you will probably be all right but our “no desk check-in”was rocky with information not gathered correctly, but after negotiating that we were more than pleasantly surprised by this extraordinary property. Certainly a pleasant surprise in a beautiful city.

Every one who is reading this review im putting a bad feedback about this motel,i had made a booking with them over the phone,but its always best to get that confirmation email which i never through to asks for,i was going to stay there for nearly a week,then i had to cut it back to two nights i had to be in invercargill had something important on,i was chatting to some lady on the phone an had told me it was booked,when i arrive there on Monday 15th Nov 21,some lady there did not know to what i was talking bout,so my family an i ended up heading back home,i got a txt that night saying the key was under the mat,i told this lady i already been an gone,she tried to tell me i went to the wrong motel an i never did i had checked the sign,an her cell no came up with the motel name,she had lied to me,not the best motel to stay at

We had the 2 bedroom unit for 4 nights. The bedrooms have no windows , just a small glassed area looking into the lounge. The heating was an old electric heater that smelled awful so we didn’t use it. The only window in the place (apart from the bathroom one) is by the kitchen . It doesn’t lock so just rattles in the wind all night . we had to buy cutlery as there were no forks and only one spoon. The bathroom is a tiny area , totally wet floor so when you had a shower the whole place got wet. When you used the toilet the floor was always a puddle. The walls were so thin that we could hear the neighbour speaking and snoring all night. Internet went fine but the TV reception was shocking , the sound cut out every third word so we were left playing a game each evening trying to fill in the blanks. Very noisy lads moved in next door on our final night and kept us awake until 4am, Great!! When we booked we read the good reviews and saw the lovely pictures. Sounded quirky but great - not our experience at all. This place is tired , noisy and cold. On the plus side..... Management were friendly and let us arrive early which was very nice , linen was clean, handy location, lovely second hand shop next door and a great cafe 2 doors away. Very close to a bus stop, Dunedin buses are awesome. if you are a student or used to living in a dorm, this might suit you.

This is the best motel/hotel you will find in Dunedin. In my opinion, the rate/price is very cheap and the luxury and location is premium. Reception was the most polite, lovely, warm, friendly I've ever encountered in New Zealand. The housekeeping was daily, midday, and very polite, and efficient yet pristine clean. The whole experience there was totally excellent. Cosy clean room. Polite, friendly, lovely staff. Great housekeeping. The design of the building was very ideal. Extremely close to a dairy, university, grass field, and heaps of food outlets. The best place I've stayed in Dunedin and I've stayed in 5 hotel/motels so far. Also the neighbours were super friendly and polite across the fence. Thank you so much to the management. Best recommended accommodation in Dunedin. The people who post negative reviews must be rude and overly entitled and is an unfair reflection on the quality.

There were lots of great things about this place, and at the same time it's the strangest place I have stayed in! First the great things - immaculate, amazing bed and super amazing shower. Large room, All of that was perfect. Then the not so great - nothing in the room to read about where to go for food, whether any place might deliver, wanted to order breakfast and it didn't seem to be an option. Ended up googling, then not finding the place I was looking for in Mosgiel (maybe it's shut down? It was all dark) so was happy to find Countdown and a soup for dinner with some food for breakfast. Then the terrible - they say they are contactless, which is all fine in this new world. I didn't know this before I came. As a result I didn't see a soul and as a traveller from out of town who was on her own I felt a little unsafe at having no contact with anyone (even at a distance would have been OK!). It felt a bit post-apocalyptic. I was wondering if they are scared to see people! This is New Zealand and there is no COVID in the community, so it seemed a bit over the top. I had trouble locking the door (it's a European lock and the instructions weren't enough for me), so went looking for help. Rang the door bell. No reply (there was a car outside and the lights were on). Then saw a notice saying I should phone. Did that and the recorded message said no one was available to talk to me Then got a text saying ”Please text me”, did that saying I can't lock the door. No reply. I texted again asking if someone could please help me. Then I got a text back with better instructions which worked. That was the sum contact I had. If I had a serious problem would anyone have helped me? I didn't feel safe, as it felt like there was no one who would help out at all. In this regard I found the place quite unwelcoming. If they had reading material in the room with helpful info and including some warm and welcoming words, and so I could know that someone was there and actually cared, it would have helped a lot. I would have been quite happy not to see anyone, but to know they were there in the event of an emergency. So the summary - this was the most comfortable place I have stayed in for a long time. But as a single female traveller who needed some help with the room and a pointer as to where to get food on a winters night, I didn't feel safe.

We always stay here when visiting Dunedin. The owner is always very pleasant, helpful and respectful. The room is always very clean with a big comfy bed. Very generous with the amount of extras that come with the room, for example, extra pillows, 3 heaters and plenty of tea, coffee and cookies. Always a very pleasant and comfortable stay at a reasonable price.

We stayed for a week in our tent at The Camp. The natural beauty of the location is stunning, right on the shores of Lake Hawea. Perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming etc. A great spot to base yourself for a Central Otago holiday, just 15 minutes from Wanaka. Facilities are good and the on site food truck is a bonus when you feel like letting someone else do the cooking. Highly recommend!

I would probably hesitate to recommend this place, as it still has a way to go with the small touches that make you overlook larger issues. We booked a one-bedroom apartment, and when we showed up, were given a one-ROOM studio with a door leading to kitchen and lounge facilities shared with six other studios. Absolutely not what we booked; we are not backpackers and would never book something with shared anything. To be fair to property, this appears to be a *********** error with the description rather than the property’s fault. And the lady at reception was genuinely lovely and helpful throughout our whole stay. That said, it was a bit grim. The studio was SMALL, and had a bar fridge - with the previous occupant’s half-eaten food still in it- (!!!!) that rattled and buzzed so much we turned it off. No space for anything but one small bag. We were then asked if we’d like to upgrade to the only remaining apartment; a two- bedroom affair that cost another 100 dollars. We chose yes, obviously. Much more spacious, but several issues. The living room had air con but was missing any blinds, and with sunset not till 9pm this time of year, the sun blared straight in and made the TV unwatchable till dark. An otherwise well-stocked full kitchen was missing oil, milk, cold water, any kind of water jug, and anything at all to clean with after cooking - the only cloths on the room were tea-towels. The listed washer and dryer were not present at all. All manageable till bedtime. The bedrooms - jeeeeeez. No air-con upstairs, and what feels like no insulation. I have a travel thermometer. The bedrooms were stuffy and hot as hell- 28 degrees celscius with no way to cool them down. No air-con, not even a standing fan. A tiny window that could only be opened a few centimetres. After several sleepless hours I went downstairs and tried to sleep on the couch in the living room. Which due to the missing blinds was lit up like a Christmas tree by the streetlight directly outside. I got three hours sleep. I appreciate that the property was trying to rectify an error not of their own making, but that townhouse was not ready for guests and we should not have been offered it until their furnishings and fittings were complete. BYO fan, I guess.
