DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Queenstown

Doubletree was a last minute decision upon arriving Queenstown from Mt Cook. Although it is pricey, no regrets getting a room here for 2 nights. It came with a fully furnished kitchenette where you could do some cooking but didn't utilize this since we ate out. One peeve I don't understand is the need to pay for parking since onsite (NZD$ 16 per nite). There's ample parking and for guests that drive in, this should be complimentary for stay duration. Location is outside of Queenstown but water taxi available from hotel dock. Recommend for the environment and fantastic room but giving 3 stars for facilities due to need to pay for parking. Location by the lake allows peace and quiet and also wildlife encounters. Front desk staff during checkin time was very attentive and helpful as well.

Location The hotel is located far from the city center. If you don’t have a car, I wouldn’t recommend staying here — public transportation is inconvenient, and the area gets very dark at night with barely any sidewalks, making it feel unsafe to walk after getting off public transport. Even if you do have a car, it’s still not ideal. Parking is not included with the hotel; instead, you need to park at a third-party lot which costs $16 per day. Additionally, each time we wanted to go into the city, we had to search for parking. On our first attempt, we couldn’t find a space at all and ended up returning to the hotel to leave the car and take a taxi downtown. Facilities Although it’s advertised as a one-bedroom apartment, the bedroom is separated by a sliding door, which doesn’t close properly and is difficult to use. This made using the toilet or taking a shower quite inconvenient, especially since the bathroom door is made of transparent glass, which lets in light and offers little privacy. The bedroom door is also a sliding door, and it doesn’t provide sound insulation, making the whole space feel much less private and comfortable than expected.

Everything was good, services and facilities! We didn’t get the chance to taste their food

Very nice hotel in a great location. Adjacent to pizza and Hilton restaurant.

Nice Location, clean, comfy but the bed too soft and toilet door unprivate.

Nice clean room with a nice kitchen. However it's lacking in cookware. A stainer but no pot. Only thing available is a frying pan. Nice separate sitting area.
