Parking was difficult, carpet was covered with stains, mold in grout in showers, fans in both bathrooms didnt work, there was pealing paint in 1 bathroom and bedroom, we moved the couch slightly for easier tv viewing and there was garbage that was dated 11 days before our arrival, the dryer didnt work until we figured out how to reset it, the beds looked good untill the 2 sheets that were folded over the duvet came unfolded to reveal a filthy looking duvet with blood or blood stains on it! Could be a very nice place if it was given some attention. Nice view!

Location was great, property was terrible. Dishes were dirty with the bread board still having crumbs on it, the apartment was full of dust, a random sock, clothes dryer that didn’t work and to top it off, our lounge room ceiling leaked when it rained. So much that half our floor was soaked.

Very comfortable start and so close to everything. Floors are very creaky though which wasn’t good at night as could hear the neighbours floor creaking loudly also.

Our external sliding door would not lock. We told reception. Their solution, whilst we are out to dinner, leave a screw driver on the counter for us to fix it. The property remained unsecure. Upkeep of the property is poor. There was no parking unless you paid for it, but even then it wasn’t guaranteed. The only thing this place has going for it is its location.

Roomy apartment, surprisingly quiet given location close to busy streets of Queenstown. Things I didn’t like: the apartment was too hot , making it hard to sleep: no air conditioning, just heating. Parking was very limited, but given the location, once we’d returned our hire car, the location was fantastic. Two great Indian restaurants just across the road, and a short walk to the busy and beautiful foreshore of Queenstown.

Suites are very spacious and we really appreciated being able to spread out across multiple rooms and be able to use the washing machine and kitchen that were in our apartment. The location is very convenient if you want to be right in Queenstown and the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. On the downside, our apartment was well overdue for refurbishment.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom and it was so homey. Water pressure wasn’t the best in the shower but beds were comfy. Single bed in the loft had its electric blanket left on from previous customers which made the loft very hot. Walking distance to everything.

Stay was great, staff were awesome. Came back in the evenings to fresh towels. Views from our balcony were amazing. Apartment had everything we needed (washer/dryer), Full appliance stocked kitchen, within a 3min walk to lake, bars, eateries.....basically town. Parking was in the back parking building but literally outside our back room door....easy.

Great location
The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. We did not know that parking was paid, as it said free parking upon booking. The room was clean and we were provided many towels. The beds were comfortable. The view from our room was great. The best part of this place was definitely the location, right in the city center and walking distance to restaurants, attractions and parks.

Wonderful stay. Amazing location. Check in was friendly, efficient and welcoming. Room was larger and clean. There is a boil water notice for drinking but that is the whole area, not just this hotel. The building is made of wood and creeks a bit when the upstairs person walks around at night but certainly manageable. Would definitely stay again. Very attentive.

Pay $20/day parking inside property!
Ridiculous, the guest was forced to pay $20/day for a parking within the motel property. Traveller chose a motel to stay because we have free parking within the motel property, but the Lofts Apartments ask we pay $20/day for a parking within the Motel’s property, for which we have to pay $40 for 2 nights staying. There are only 8 parking spaces, if you are lucky enough to have a vacant on arrival and are happy to pay for $20/day, you have to do all your activities by walking, because once you get your car out, the chance to get a vacant space on return is closed to zero. The off-street parking is only for 30 minutes and all time full. Worst still, this additional charge is not advertised on their website, hotels.com should clearly state this charge to let the traveller consider it before making the booking.

Fabulous location right in the centre of Queenstown. No hills to climb, shops directly across the road. We could pop in and out of our accomodation whenever we wanted a break or to take back parcels and go out again. Bus just down the road straight to airport. Warm rooms, large and spacious. Electric blankets too. Excellent towels. Couldn’t open our curtains during the day as workers could see straight in. Could do with a privacy screen outside.
