总的来说还行，除了上述需要改进的地方。虽然房间无景观，但有个院子也算是自成一体啦！
Pros:

这家地里位置其实是还不错的，除了需要上坡那段路有一定的难度，确实是比较考验人的体力，下坡后基本上就是皇后镇了，公交线也在这里，出脚比较方便。

Cons:

卫生间的浴缸比较鸡肋，浴缸边上还搞个玻璃隔断更加鸡肋，因为水龙头的水压很大，没有支撑点，很容易打到那个玻璃隔断上，有安全隐患。建议还不如换成浴帘比较安全。关于上下坡的问题建议可以搞个区间车，减少游客爬坡的难度，尤其是在有行李的情况下。

A view is a view.
Pros:

Best view in town and a bit out of the craziness of Queenstown. If you are doing some physically challenging activities in the city, you can have resting days in and still feel connected to the beautiful nature outside. The view is out of this planet.
Also the bed is comfy, kitchen well equipped and good shower. I couldn’t be happier.

Cons:

Nothing. It’s perfect.

Comfortable
Pros:

This hotel located at a quiet area of Queenstown just 10 mins walk to the centre.
the room was bright and well equipped, but a little small.
The staff were fantastic and very helpful.
I would highly recommend to stay here while visiting Queenstown.

Cons:

Car parking is very limited, first come first serve.
Walking down to town is great BUT the way back is a bit tough due to the steep hill.

A quiet and pleasant stay with a great view of Queenstown. The accommodation exceeded our expection.
Pros:

The view from our room was extraordinary. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing space after a long journey to Queenstown. The room was quiet and well equipped.

Cons:

After office hours, we had no way to resolve the issue of cigarette smoke coming from another room on the property.
