Lumsden Hotel

Very comfortable room. Excellent dinner too!

Lovely place to stay in Lumsden. Clean, super friendly staff with an amazing restaurant downstairs.

A great little town out of Queenstown, a great bar, food and service as well as a cosy room with all the necessities

I will start with the positives, the communal toilets and bathrooms were clean and well maintained. It is on a tourist route and is cheap. The hotel had a restaurant which was convenient.
Moving on to the more negative side of things, the room lacked any leg room, it felt like a shoe box. The sofa was right next to the sink, hardly had space to use it. Extension cables and wires were all over the place. Our whole purpose of staying at this place was to have a good night's sleep before we headed to Milford sound, but sleep was one thing we did not get. The walls were too thin we could hear what the neighbors were talking, everytime they turned the tap on we could hear the water flow, people were constantly opening and closing doors all through the night to use the washrooms. The bed was uncomfortable with springs hurting our backs. The lacthes on the window were broken so couldn't even have them open.
I think the place has heaps of potential, it needs a total makeover.

The Lumsden Hotel is a VERY OLD STYLE hotel, with 10 very small rooms ( ours was about 2 mx5m or 7'x16'), common bathrooms (1 bath with a toilet & shower and the other with 2 toilet stalla and a shower stall). The beds (1 2xtwin + a twin) + a small cabinet for coffee stuff left no more than 2.5- 3 sqm (about 30 sqr ft) of free space - that also includes the door opening space ( at least 1 sqm or 11 sqft). Oh, most importantly, the rooms are above a bar with very loud music going well into the small hours of the night. And did I mention the double hung windows, one of which missed a latch to hold it open? In short, I would never never again stay in that hotel and highly recommend avoiding it if you have any other choice (inc. tent)!

Room was cosy and bed was great.
Was a tiny bit cold but otherwise an enjoyable stay.

No one answers the phone. I tried to make changes to my reservation but was not successful at reaching anyone at thus hotel.

Noisey place with Trucks passing all through the night as well as people walking up and down the hall way to use the shared toilets.
Was worried about getting up in the night to use toilet myself as the door to the room jams and you had to almost slam it to get it to close again.Was looking forward to a feed of Blue cod and chips, unfortunately I couldnt eat it all as fish was very soggy. Ended up scrapping the batter off the fish to just eat the fish and sides.
The staff were however very friendly.

Shared toilet

Delicious food. Great service. Friendly staff. Good beer.

Paid reasonable price for a comfortable, clean room with good facilities.

Not long after we checked in, the ceiling started to leak on the bed. The staff was very friendly and was able to book us at another hotel across the street as they couldn't promise they could fix the leak that night or that it would stop. Staff was very apologetic and also offered a free dinner at their restaurant.
Before we had to vacate the room, we were excited to stay there. Nice, historic looking building, room was very nice and clean and appeared to have been updated fairly recently. From sitting/laying on the bed for a few minutes it was comfortable, unfortunately we did not get to sleep on it.
