Queenstown Frankton Hotels

It's a quaint area. Very close to the airport. I'd advise to take note of the hotel name and location since there are a few Holiday Inn in Queenstown. We got confused and made it to the wrong hotel branch; were told that we weren't the first one to get them mixed up. There is no free parking sadly for anyone wondering.

I stayed at the La Quinta Wyndham for 2 weeks in March of 2023. I didn't rent a car. The friendly staff went out of their way to teach me how to be able to travel around Queenstown New Zealand via the public transportation system. House keeping was excellent. They even put my dirty dishes in the dishwasher at times for me.

Wir waren im Boden mit schöner Aussicht auf die Berge. Sobald die Patiotür geschlossen war, konnten wir die Hubschrauber oder Flugzeuge nicht hören. Angesichts des Flughafens ist es Minuten entfernt, war der Lärmmangel großartig. Die Küche hat einen Bar-Kühlschrank, Geschirrspüler, Platten usw. (jedoch einige waren 2 von, 3 von oder 4 von. Es wäre besser gewesen, wenn alle 4 von so dass Sie nicht jeden Tag waschen mussten), Keller/Pans, Toaster, Kettle und ein paar Tee/Kaffee. Auch ein Kleidung mit der richtigen Einstellung ist ein Trockner. Esstisch für 2 und 1 Einzelstuhl. Großes Bett und gutes Zimmer für Kleidung. Das Bett war riesig und komfortabel. Bodenbreite Glastür/Fenster zum Balkon über die Berge. Über die Straße ist das Land derzeit so privat und kein Autoverkehr. Bad ist komfortabel und großartig Dusche, aber keine heiße Handtücher Bahn. Es ist etwa 5 Minuten zu Fuß zu den Geschäften einschließlich eines großen Supermarktes und einigen Lebensmittelplatz. Es gibt einen öffentlichen Busdienst nach Arrowtown oder Queenstown, aber es ist sehr sporadisch traurig und die Dienste werden abgebrochen. Aber es dauerte 18 Minuten, um nach Queenstown zu kommen und kostete $2/adult anstelle eines Taxis bei ca. $40! Zimmerreinigung war manchmal sehr spät am Tag, aber es störte uns nicht, weil wir es eigentlich nicht brauchen. Parkplatz ist vorn verfügbar, aber erst in erhalten es. So während der Spitzenstufe ich würde mir vorstellen, es ist ein Problem. Insgesamt: Pros sind komfortable mit allem, was Sie wollen, in der Nähe des Flughafens, ruhige Lage, in der Nähe des Supermarktes. Cons: Es ist eine 15+-minütige Fahrt nach Queenstown, kein heißes Handtücher-Rack im Badezimmer und Parkplatz könnte ein Problem sein.

Absolut liebte das Zimmer, in dem wir waren. Hatte alles, was wir brauchten. Schön sauber und modern. Schöne Lobby. Stupendous Ansichten. Wasch- und Trockner im Badezimmer. Nähe zum Flughafen. Freundliches Personal. Excellent Preis. Wir wünschen uns, dass wir dort geblieben sind, aber wir werden das nächste Mal tun.

“Sudima Queenstown Five Mile” -is in Queenstown, right? The name seems pretty clear. It’s shown as being in “Queenstown Central” which is in central Queenstown, right? The name seems pretty clear on that point too. Close to the lake perhaps, looking towards the mountains, near the Queenstown bars and restaurants? WRONG. WRONG. “Queenstown Central” is not in central Queenstown. It’s the name of a shopping centre outside of Frankton, next door to the airport, surrounded by massive carparks, supermarkets, K Mart etc and about 50m off the main State Highway 6A. Hence the “Sudima Queenstown Five Mile”, despite the name, is 7.6 km from Queenstown according to Google maps (or a $50+ taxi ride away, as I can tell you from frequent experience) and about as far away from the experience or the convenience of staying in central Queenstown as you can get. Close to the lake perhaps, looking towards the mountains, near the Queenstown bars and restaurants – in your DREAMS. Having booked in a hurry and taking at face value the name(s) described the reality, we were stuck at this hotel for three nights. On arriving we were given an “underground carpark pass”, meaning that as an elderly couple we had to park 5-10 minutes’ walk away from the hotel in an isolated underground location, walking through deserted carparks late at night or early in the morning. (As we were checking out, we discovered that the receptionist could have simply noted our car registration number and for the duration of our stay we could have parked in the massive carpark immediately outside the hotel door.) We were given Room 223 for our stay, which I found overlooked the massive nearby roundabout on the main State Highway 6A (meaning trucks would be audibly braking at all hours), with a view to K Mart, I went back to the desk and asked for a room away from the Highway. We were moved to Room 214. On entering Room 214, I discovered a woman lying on the bed, semi-undressed, on the telephone. I quickly backed out of the room and went straight down to reception, where I was told, “that’s odd, someone mustn’t have updated the system”. I went back to Room 214, knocked on the door and apologised to the occupants, explaining what had happened. All attempts to find another hotel to stay in were unsuccessful; there were no vacancies at such short notice. We stayed in Room 223, but tried to be out of the hotel as much as humanly possible. I had booked restaurants in Queenstown – full degustation menus with matching wines, for every night we stayed - meaning I couldn’t drive, and we consequently were paying an extra $100-130+ per night to go to dinner and return to the ‘carpark-hotel’. Had the room we stayed in been in a hotel located in central Queenstown then it would have been a pleasant experience, but what we experienced was simply awful. Might the name of both the hotel and the shopping centre mislead people who are booking a stay in Queenstown? I will leave it to you to decide.

Unsere Erfahrung mit der Eincheckung war ein wenig enttäuschend. Der Assistent dauerte Zeit, um unsere Buchung zu finden, dann viel Informationsre Parkplatz usw. Wenn es viel zu verlegt werden, setzen Sie es auf Papier und geben es bei der Eincheckung. Unsere Pläne am nächsten Tag wurden zerstört, als wir nach Queenstown gingen und fanden, dass eine laufende Veranstaltungs-Marathon etc. war. Kein Parkplatz, Zentrum in Gridlock. Es wäre toll gewesen, wenn uns die Kontrolle des Assistenten hätte gegeben, dass Informationen (oder ein Schreiben in unser Zimmer) uns am nächsten Tag viel Stress retten können. Unser Zimmer war sauber, aber sehr klein. Nur im Zimmer liegen Betten - kein Platz für etwas anderes, keine Tisch oder Stühle. Es gibt Geschäfte und Essen in einem kurzen Spaziergang und es ist nahe am Flughafen.

Genießt einen 4-night Mini-Break bei QT Queenstown. Hotel ist großartig und ich empfehle – perfekte Lage (kurze Wanderung in die Stadt entlang des Seefronts); geräumige Zimmer; und vor allem Personal willkommen und professionell (vor allem schreien Sie auf Louisa & Anthony auf der Frontdesk und Darren & Erike(? ) in Restaurant/Frühstückszimmer – Sie sind großartige Botschafter für QT und machten unseren Aufenthalt extra speziell.

Das Paradies in den Südalpen mit unglaublichen Aussichten auf Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu und den bemerkenswerten Bergbereich. Das Hotel hat noch ein rustikales Gefühl, sehr elegante und alles schön eingerichtet. Liebte unser Zimmer übersehen den See und den komfortablen Sitz, um die Aussicht zu genießen. Alles war spotless und komfortable. Ich würde sicherlich hier wieder bleiben.

Das Hotel hat keine Rezeption. Sie müssen das Check-in-Passwort bei der Ankunft per E-Mail senden. Dreistöckiges Häuschen Sehr bequem, alle passenden Utensilien, alle Teller sind keine Schalen Das Schlafzimmer sieht unschlagbar aus, mit Dachglas Es gibt spezielle Wanderwege sieben oder acht Minuten den Berg hinunter Es ist schwieriger, den Berg hinauf zu gehen, aber es ist fast eine Viertelstunde. Es ist immer noch in der Nähe der Stadt.

The location was the best part for us. It was very central in Queenstown and surrounded with many good restaurants, bars and shops. If you are planning on skiing or doing an excursion there are many pick up spots and tour operators near the hostel as well. The room was a good spot to sleep. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was clean and they provided a nice small space heater to keep the room warm if needed. We didn't have any body wash on our first night in the shower, we reported to the front desk and they gave us a couple of bars and we were told that they would replace in the morning but when we came back it was unfortunately not replaced but we did get another small bar of soap. The remote in the room was disgusting and covered in what I imagine was at one point part of some good fried chicken or possibly pizza but everything else seemed to be fine. Check in was a little tricky because there is self check in/check out tablets at the entrance. We couldn't figure out the right combination of booking reference number and name because we had received Jucy's confirmation code in a separate email. The attendant did offer to help us out but we got the right combo at that very moment. You can pick your cards to activate them and we had no issues with this part but later that evening my card deactivated and I went to the front desk a second time to get it working on our first night. The hotel has some very good signage and arrows to tell you where your rooms are and the amenities (rooftop bar/restaurant, laundry room and kitchen area). The hotel seems to be more of a party hotel and when we arrived there was lots of drinking and people having a good time. This went well into the night and the noise seemed to travel well down the hallway from the rooms that were hosting. We could also hear our neighbour coming and going throughout the first night but it was relatively quiet between 12-6. We picked this hostel for the location and to save a little bit of money for excursions. It did get very busy in our area the first night we were there but after that we had no issues with the traffic. It was a 15 minute ride to the airport in the Uber and the bus stops at the nearby Stanley St bus hub and only takes about 25 minutes to go to/from the airport with limited traffic.
