I loved the location, quiet & serene garden side, great lake view & short walk to the lake, in the heart of Queenstown, short walk to the shops, restaurants, attractions. The service was great, very helpful, friendly staff, huge range of buffet breakfast options that catered for guests with different cutural backgrounds, very clean & tidy hot spa room, which was a great treat after day of skiing. I found the staff very considerate & mindful of guest needs and preferences. Highly recommend Novotel.

Comfortable.
The room was comfortable and clean but it was showing its age. It was frustrating to find out the hot tub/spa was only available by booking ahead. It was not available during our stay. The staff were helpful. The food was ok with lots of choices for breakfast.

The hotel is perfectly situated right in town on the lake front, but is a little tired. The beds are only double size, which is a squeeze for two people. The rooms are also quite tight. It wasn't bad, but I might try a different hotel next time.

We were originally put into rm 151 by the entrance and a children’s play area. They were very considerate about changing us to a quieter room. One thing that would change the shower experience is if they would put weight in the shower curtain or something else. It was quite annoying to have the curtain stuck to you during a shower.
