Top Underwater Observatory Hotel Reviews

Heartland Hotel Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and good amenities for the price"

Mi-pad Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, our stay was outstanding. The staff were exceptional—friendly, accommodating, and genuinely helpful throughout our visit. They held our bags and food leftovers for us, helped me figure out the hot drink vending machine, and were very sympathetic when I had an issue with the room lighting, even though they weren’t able to resolve it. The complimentary hot chocolate and lattes were fantastic and ended up being one of the highlights of our stay. I’m glad I saw them mentioned in previous reviews. My only suggestion for improvement would be the smart lighting system. This may have been user error on my part, but I found it difficult to operate. The control panel remained illuminated throughout the night, and the bathroom light kept turning on with no apparent way to override the system. As someone who is very sensitive to light while sleeping, this affected my sleep quality. That said, everything else about the stay was excellent, and the outstanding service from the staff left a very positive impression."

LyLo Queenstown

8/10 Good

"Great location, in amongst everything and walking distance to bus, supermarket, centre of town and all attractions. My queen room with a balcony was great. Compact but a good use of space. Loved watching the fog roll in from my bed. Bed was comfy, as were pillows. Bathroom spacious and balcony was great. There was an issue with the TV not having any reception, but they said it was due to a recent storm, and being fixed next week. Thankfully could stream from apps but connectivity was a little tricky and time consuming. There was a very noisy heating system (?) that kept me awake for a lot of the second night. I reported to reception on checkout. Definitely needs addressing, as it was really noisy and kept cutting in and out throughout the night. I would definitely stay again. I probably just would opt for a different room location."
