Cleaning service threw out some of our groceries that were in a brown paper bag, and when we told the staff they only apologised and didn’t offer to compensate us. Lots of stairs. Parking was cheap only 10 NZD a night. Warm place to stay.
Response from Property: Guten Tag and Kia Ora Valued Guest,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay with us in one of our Standard Rooms. We truly appreciate your comments and the opportunity to respond.We’re pleased to hear that you found your room warm and comfortable. It’s also great to know you found value in our affordable parking rate - we do our best to keep additional costs reasonable for our guests.We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the housekeeping error regarding your groceries. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been. While our team did apologise at the time, we regret that the matter wasn’t handled with the level of care and resolution it deserved.

Swiss Belsuites was our favourite accommodation across the 9 accommodations we stayed during our holiday in New Zealand! We absolutely love how spacious the place is. Huge cooking space with a comfortable living room with a large L-shaped sofa made for many nights in to cook our own dinner, which was made even easier with the provision of two dishwashing machines and almost every cooking equipment/cutleries you may need. It is also the only accommodation where we got to enjoy using a smart TV where we could easily use our own subscription accounts (via scanning QR codes) to stream videos during our dinners. The bedroom is also really comfortable and the toilet was very clean as well. We also had our washing machine and dryer, which was really useful as we were in New Zealand for two weeks. The best part of our stay was the view of Lake Wakitipu which we could enjoy from our living room. Was such a great stay that we were so sad to check out at the end. Highly recommended!!
Response from Property: Dear Matthew,Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a glowing review of your stay at Swiss-Belsuites Pounamu Queenstown! We are absolutely delighted to know that we were your favourite accommodation during your trip to New Zealand - what a wonderful compliment!We're thrilled that you enjoyed the spacious layout of our Lake View One Bedroom Suite. It’s great to hear that the fully equipped kitchen and comfortable living area, complete with the L-shaped sofa, made your nights in extra special. We designed our suites with home-away-from-home convenience in mind, so we're glad the dishwashers, cooking equipment and cutlery met your needs.Our TVs enhance our guests' experience, so it's fantastic to know you made the most of this by streaming your favourite shows during dinner. We're also pleased that the bedroom and bathroom met your expectations for comfort and cleanliness - our housekeeping team works hard to ensure everything is spotless for our guests.Having a washer and dryer in your suite is indeed a lifesaver for longer stays, and we’re happy this feature added convenience to your trip. Lastly, the stunning views of Lake Wakatipu from the living room truly are something special, and we're so glad you could enjoy them during your stay.It means a lot to us that you were sad to leave, but we hope this means we’ll get to welcome you back in the future! Thank you again for your kind recommendation - we look forward to making your next visit just as memorable.Warm regards,Matthias SchulzSenior Regional Director of Sales and MarketingAustralia and New Zealand

Location of the hotel was pretty convenient. Also every room has its own corresponding parking place which is a huge plus. The downside is that the rooms were quite small for two persons. Breakfast options also were not very good. Would recommend getting the lake viewing rooms if budget is not your concern
Response from Property: Kia ora,We're glad to hear that you found your recent stay enjoyable and pleasant!We understand that space can be a concern, and we’ll take your feedback into account as we look for ways to enhance our offerings. Your suggestion about the lake-view rooms is great advice for future guests looking for an upgraded experience.We hope to welcome you back in the future and provide an even better stay!Regards,

Pounamu apartments super suites are the upstairs units with a small balcony. The view over the lake and the mountains was really nice, especially after a snowfall overnight. Inside the unit, the kitchen was very functional with oven, cooktop and microwave. Air conditioning and fake fireplace kept the unit to a reasonable heat at the start of winter but this may be an issue in the middle of winter. The shower had great water pressure and great hot water. It too about 15 minutes to walk into the city centre but the walk back along the lake requires a walk up a hill which was a little taxing so the main road is a better way back. Short drive to New World and Woolworths in Frankton.
Response from Property: Thank you for your review. hope we will see you in the near future.

The room was small but well equipped with mini kitchen extra blankets & also simple breakfast. They ease our late check-in well with parking facilities. Overall it was a reasonable stay.

When we checked in on the first day, we immediately noticed that the floor was quite dusty, as though it hadn't been vacuumed. We waited until the second day, only to find that the housekeeping staff didn't remove their shoes while cleaning and didn’t even sweep or vacuum the floor. This is a hotel, not an Airbnb, and if the price includes housekeeping, they should be delivering that service properly.
Additionally, the amenities are outdated. The kitten was rusty, and the cooking pots were in poor condition. Given that the price per night is comparable to higher mid-range hotels in the area, I would recommend considering other hotels for the same budget. You'll likely find better value elsewhere.
The hotel location is okay, staffs are friendly.
Response from Property: Dear Loklok magic moment,Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay. I sincerely apologise for the issues you encountered, particularly concerning the cleanliness and maintenance of your suite.We appreciate your comments about the dusty floor upon your arrival and regret that our housekeeping team did not meet the expected standards. We strive to provide a thorough cleaning service, and it is disappointing to learn that this was not your experience. I will address this matter with our housekeeping team to ensure that proper procedures are followed moving forward.Regarding the amenities, I understand your concerns about the condition of the kitchenware. Your feedback is invaluable as we continually assess and improve our facilities to enhance our guests’ experience.I am pleased to hear you found our location satisfactory and appreciated the friendliness of our staff. We truly value your comments, and I hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future to provide you with a stay that meets the high standards we aim for.Thank you once again for your feedback. We wish you all the best in your future travels.Warm regards,Matthias Schulz Senior Regional Director of Sales and MarketingAustralia and New Zealand

We had the 2 bedroom suite, with 2 bathrooms. It had everything we need for a family. TV in every room and lounge. Well equipped with Bosch washer-dryer, ironing, drying rack etc and the kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, oven, stove top and even an insinkerator. Coffee capsules refilled daily for the nespresso fix. Feels like home. We had a comfortable warm stay and happy to stay again.
Outdoor seating area is good for fresh alpine air. Designated parking outside the door.
Response from Property: Thank you for your amazing 5* review! Glad they we were able to accommodate all of your needs and that you had a great stay with us! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
