Top South Island Hotel Reviews

Sudima Queenstown Five Mile

Sudima Queenstown Five Mile

10/10 Excellent
"Staff were always helpful and friendly. Rooms was very clean and and comfortable made up daily. Buffet breakfast was yummy. We stayed for 10 nights, not one problem while we stayed there. Very comfortable, clean and staff were always accomodating. The only thing I would say is, there isn’t anywhere in the hotel to sit and relax in front of the fire place, this area is closed after breakfast and re opens for dinner so we found ourselves circling cafes to find an area were we could all catch up and relax. But that definitely didn’t affect our stay and the experience was excellent… just some feedback for the hotel."
