아서스 포인트 홈스테이

Check-in was friendly and easy, and it was pointed out that they were short staffed so room servicing was only being done every three days. The front desk staff did highlight that if we needed anything just to ask. The room itself was a bit tired and needed a refresh. The wooden window frame shows signs of water damage and there are cracks appearing around some of the ceiling joins. The room heater, while effective, was quite noisy when operating. Otherwise it was warm, comfortable, quiet (excluding the heater) and clean. Location is great if you are heading for Coronet Peak. A 20 minute-ish drive had us from the hotel and into the mountain cark parks, so super handy. You are about 10 to 15 minutes from Queenstown by car so that may be something to consider. I suppose it all comes down to would be stay here again? No. Despite the friendly staff the place needs an overhaul and in the end the location whilst great for Coronet was restrictive if you did not have a car to shoot back into Queenstown.

My rating of 'very good' takes into consideration the amount we paid to stay here. This was the cheapest of our 12 accommodations in NZ at under £100 equivalent. We actually felt an element of sadness as the hotel has clearly had a much grander past and is suffering now, either through lack of investment or changes in customer demand. We noticed that visitors to Queenstown are in the majority younger people looking for the thrill experiences, so perhaps a hotel on the outskirts of the town originally designed for the more discerning traveller is no longer what people are looking for. The Dining room for example is grandly furnished and has amazing views across the river - you can imagine a fine dining experience here being very popular , but now the restaurant is closed for evening meals and just opens for breakfast. Such a shame. We were advised by email that evening meals were no longer available so we were prepared for that and as there are other places close by it was not a problem for us. Our room was very spacious and had an equally spacious balcony. It was bigger than many other rooms we had in other accommodations. True, it was dated and tired but the bed was comfortable, clean and we slept well. Fresh milk was easily available at reception in a small glass bottle for in room beverages - I prefer that arrangement - the little plastic packets of milk are not environmentally friendly and fresh milk always tastes nicer. The walk/ hall way to the rooms from reception to the 1st floor was in a very poor state - this gives a very poor impression and badly needs redecorating. Breakfast was ok - not amazing, but for the money paid we felt it served its purpose well. The staff we saw were all very friendly and accommodating. There is no lift in the building and the gentleman on reception offered to take our cases up to our room as he could see they were quite heavy. It will be interesting to see what happens with this hotel over the coming years, we do wish the current team well as clearly things are not easy for them at the moment.
