Beautiful rooms with attention to detail and friendly staff.
Pros:

The location is excellent, the rooms are large and the staff are incredibly friendly.

Cons:

Rooms were two hours late to check in, but this was rectified with an offer of a late check out. Ongoing issues with a cold shower were disappointing (evening time).

Pros:

Overall clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Confusing instructions between hotel and staff. Shower has low water pressure. Mixer was not functioning properly, resulting in sudden cold water in middle of shower (and that's during winter)!. Hotel is under renovation which can result in noises.

Staff are definitely the highlight with everything else being an excellent bonus!
Pros:

We travelled to Queenstown for our engagement and right from the get-go the staff were so helpful and sweet and went above and beyond to make this weekend the most special weekend. They were so helpful in arranging anything we needed!

The rooms were cleaned everytime we left the hotel, everything in the hotel and rooms were very clean and comfortable. The food and drinks at the bar/resturant were excellent and the overall vibe of QT in Queenstown was perfect.

However, the staff are definitely what sold the stay for us and made this a perfect weekend - massive thank you. We will definitely be back :)

Cons:

N/A - everything was perfect.

A splendid indulgent experience that made me extend my stay in Queenstown
Pros:

Amazing location, large comfortable and beautifully enervated bedrooms, generous beds and lots of unexpected lovely surprises: complimentary morning pastries, wine & cheese tastings in the afternoon, whiskey & chocolate after 9pm. We came back one afternoon to find a dark chocolate bar and a bottle of creamy milk for us to make hot chocolate in the milk foamer. How incredible is that?

The shampoos, conditioners, bath gels and body lotion also smelled really good. In room sound system and selection of coffee and tea also exceeded our expectations.

Cons:

I wish the website had been updated to mention the all day bar and food menu on the 6th floor with stunning views (only its breakfast was mentioned), it also didn’t mention the complimentary gym passes at a nearby fitness centre for guests
