I loved the location, quiet & serene garden side, great lake view & short walk to the lake, in the heart of Queenstown, short walk to the shops, restaurants, attractions. The service was great, very helpful, friendly staff, huge range of buffet breakfast options that catered for guests with different cutural backgrounds, very clean & tidy hot spa room, which was a great treat after day of skiing. I found the staff very considerate & mindful of guest needs and preferences. Highly recommend Novotel.

Comfortable.
The room was comfortable and clean but it was showing its age. It was frustrating to find out the hot tub/spa was only available by booking ahead. It was not available during our stay. The staff were helpful. The food was ok with lots of choices for breakfast.

The hotel is perfectly situated right in town on the lake front, but is a little tired. The beds are only double size, which is a squeeze for two people. The rooms are also quite tight. It wasn't bad, but I might try a different hotel next time.

We were originally put into rm 151 by the entrance and a children’s play area. They were very considerate about changing us to a quieter room. One thing that would change the shower experience is if they would put weight in the shower curtain or something else. It was quite annoying to have the curtain stuck to you during a shower.

Our stay at the Novotel was great, located in a convenient area, room was clean and comfortable although lacking storage space for a family of 4 with snow gear… but Queenstown is so beautiful and inviting we didn’t spend much time in our room. The staff were all very helpful and welcoming, Thomas was exceptional giving us detailed information on activities we could do with our family and making sure our stay was 10/10.

I don't know who bungled the booking - Expedia or Novotel. I asked for an accessible room with 2 beds. I was given a room with 2 beds and a walk in shower. So no shower after travelling all day. The next day we were moved to an accessible room with one bed. However a trundle was given at no extra cost but it was a very tight squeeze.

Cute hotel located right next to the shopping and dining downtown of Queenstown. We walked to everything including the gondola. Just a small bit outdated feeling but renovations seemed to be in progress. It felt like a well used snow skiing hotel which was also evident by all the skiers using it. Beds were small, which we knew of course, but still wish they had double queen options. What was most disappointing was the bathroom. 1-Bathroom entrance door. Has opaque film or something but was basically see through (not opaque) from the outside looking in. Angle of the door means most people in the room could easily see the bathroom user. 2-Shower door. Is all glass and was a half door. What??? This means water sprayed out, bounced off my back and head…whatever…and ran on to the floor and all over the heated towel rack. Very poor design. Lastly, I met so many wonderful NZ people that my expectations were probably sky high but the staff person that both checked me in and checked me out (same person) - seemed distracted both times we interacted. She’d ask a question then look away at someone else next to her and not listen causing me to answer the question twice. Also didn’t offer up any advice about the surrounding area. Queenstown and the downtown area is amazing though and this is a perfect location for easy walking to food and shopping. A little bit of improvements could really push this hotel to the top of every visitors list.
