4-Star Hotels in Otago, New Zealand

The lake-view suite was excellent, with a great location and stunning views when you opened the window. It's conveniently located right next to a bus stop (the ski bus also stops here, which is a big plus). Getting to the town center for meals and shopping was also quite easy.

I booked this hotel because I had an early 7 AM flight. It's easily accessible from Queenstown via bus route 1, and bus route 3 takes you to a supermarket near the airport, which is super convenient. I had originally planned to walk to the airport (about a 20-minute walk), but I easily caught a taxi at 5 AM for 20 NZD. The front desk staff was very friendly and attentive, especially a lady with a French accent. The front desk closes after 8 PM, but you can self-check-in/out with a key card. The room itself was well-equipped, thoughtfully laid out, clean, and tidy, with kitchen facilities and a washing machine.

I stayed at this hotel two years ago, booked through Ctrip, and without hesitation chose Avani Queenstown Hotel again on my return to Queenstown. It used to be called 'Okas' but has been rebranded and renovated into hotel apartments. Be sure to pick a lake-view apartment – the scenery is stunning. The hotel also has a loft room type with a huge balcony, but the room itself is small and requires walking up stairs, which isn't ideal if you have a lot of luggage. I recommend choosing a lake-view room on the 8th or 9th floor, as they are the largest; you can just relax in the room and not even feel the need to go out. Queenstown is as vibrant and beautiful as ever! And definitely don't miss the butcher shop near the airport, opposite Red Supermarket! The meat quality is excellent, and they have the viral glass-bottle milk – one of the best milks in New Zealand! I'll definitely come back to Queenstown and choose Avani Queenstown Hotel again!

Amazing hotel. Good service and friendly staff members. Nice king bed and we had an extra sofa bed which is a bonus, it was set-up for free for us as my partner sleep snoring very loudly. The location is great and easy to find. The downgrade was the parking, there was no free parking as we had to pay $20 per 24hr. So we had to spent $60 just for parking, its ridiculous expensive. The hotel should've provide it free parking. But other than that the stayed was amazing. Had a great restaurant by the wharf and the food is amazing and bonus with an amazing views.

The place is spacious and the location is excellent. It is right next to the main road. After watching the little penguins, you can buy fast food nearby before returning to the hostel. The room is spacious and there are staff on duty at night. You can park at the door, which is very convenient

The room is very comfortable, the facilities are complete, and the particularly good place is that there is a bathtub that can be SPA, which is so cool! The boss is from Beijing and very talkative. There is a supermarket and a variety of food nearby, which is very convenient.

The environment and facilities are quite good. Free parking spaces are limited, so you need to get back to the hotel early in the morning to grab one. However, there are plenty of paid parking spots nearby and they aren't expensive—$10 for 24 hours, with discounts if you park for two or three days at a time. There are also convenient supermarkets and restaurants all around.

The staff members at Aria on Bank Dunedin are super friendly. I accidentally arrived too early for check-in; however, the female manager kindly prepared a room for me and checked me in early. That was amazing! When I left, the male manager was also very friendly and looked after my suitcase for a couple of hours. I will definitely stay at this motel again if I return to Dunedin.

It's still almost a 20-minute walk from the city center. It's a two-bedroom apartment, costing 2000 yuan per night. The living room and one of the bedrooms face the lake, which is quite nice. It was relatively clean, and the bedding was very comfortable, so I slept soundly. Right outside is the pick-up point for fjord tours. The staff were indifferent and provided almost no service. The heating suddenly stopped working at night. When I called, they said someone would come within half an hour to an hour, but no one showed up all night.

We had a wonderful stay at voco Queenstown. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it a great place to relax after a day of exploring Queenstown. A special mention to Mr Thai at the front desk, who was incredibly friendly and patient. He took the time to introduce us to the hotel and give us helpful recommendations about Queenstown, which was especially appreciated as it was our first time visiting. The warm and attentive service really made our stay more enjoyable. Thank you, Thai, for making us feel so welcome! We would definitely stay at voco Queenstown again.
