Hotels With bar in Otago, New Zealand

The hotel is quite large with many rooms. I booked a twin room, and it was spacious with two comfortable and clean queen-sized beds. My room was on the third floor, at the corner, offering only a partial view of the lake. There were no kitchen facilities, so cooking wasn't an option. The hotel's location is excellent, right by the lake. It's about a 10-minute walk to Queenstown's center and its attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful. There's a car park, but parking comes with a fee. Breakfast is also an extra charge, but the quality was decent.

Very nice view that can see the lake and town centre at the opposite, friendly staff and the in-room dining was fabulous, I had Salmon & Cauliflower which is sooo good that I re-order on second day!

We chose this hotel because we expected to enjoy its winery/food. Otherwise, we should have stayed in Queenstown with a lot of restaurants and pubs. As we would arrive in the early evening, we put a note for our hope for experiencing their winery and food (or at least finger foods) when we booked the hotel, and received email that they cannot guarantee but will do their best to serve our need. Since then, no email was sent to us. When we arrived at the hotel around 6 pm, no one was in the information desk, so we had to go to the bistro to find out that they left the key in a safe box without any notice or sending us any email with its password. We had to wait a while for the bistro lady to make a phone call to whom it concerns, which was okay. Worse, we heard that their bistro was reserved for a group event so we could not use the facility at all. We had to drive 15 minutes to a nearby town and bought foods from a supermarket. I think the hotel should have notified us of impossibility of using their bistro/food service due to the group event and we have to prepare for our food. As I checked out, I left a note about the issues, and expected they would send me an email to express their sincere apology. Unfortunately nothing happened so far. Although I liked the room as well as the whole place very much, I think Kinross cottage needs professionalism to run their stay program. It could have been much nicer, memorable stay experience.

The handsome men and beautiful women at the front desk genuinely and sincerely helped guests with their questions and needs. My three-night stay was truly fantastic! The rooftop offers stunning mountain and lake views, and the cozy fireplace makes you feel like you're in a secluded paradise. Getting around is super convenient. After leaving Queenstown Airport, you only need to walk about 100 meters to find the #1 public transport bus. Remember to buy a transport card at the airport bookstore beforehand; it's very convenient and cheap, especially if you're traveling alone or with one other person. One card is all you need. To get to this hotel (Leloo Hotel), take the bus from the airport. After about 20 minutes, get off at Stanley Street, which is a major transport hub, just a 4-minute walk from the hotel. You'll know it's the right stop because it's at the bottom of a big downhill road, with a large park on your right. The bus stops are conveniently divided into A, B, and C sections. Getting to Arrowtown only takes 25 minutes and costs 2.5 New Zealand dollars. There are many popular, Instagrammable shops nearby, like Fergburger. Even if you're vegetarian, don't worry, they all have Chinese menus.

Gorgeous aesthetic throughout this lovely hotel! Gorgeous views of the Shotover River, pool, sauna and steam room all make this a luxurious stay.

It’s a vintage hotel, I’m surprised with the lift which is very old type of lift, the design very pretty and retro. Room is quite spacious for 4 adults. The heater is very powerful and strong. The hotel is located near to the town center and precinct street, just a few minutes of walk can reach.

“Fantastic stay – highly recommend!” I had an excellent stay at the Cambridge Hotel. The location is perfect, within easy walking distance to major attractions, restaurants, and public transport. The room was clean, modern, and very comfortable, with a great city view from the balcony. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay, always going above and beyond to assist with any requests. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. The facilities were also impressive, especially the indoor pool and overall cleanliness of the hotel. Everything felt well-maintained and welcoming. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money, combining comfort, convenience, and excellent service. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The kitchen facilities are excellent, making it perfect for those who want to cook for themselves. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean, which made for a very comfortable stay. It's such a lovely hotel that you'll want to stay for several days rather than just one night. It's also conveniently located within walking distance to Queenstown town center and offers free parking, so I highly recommend it!

Had 2 stuffed toys of great sentimental value removed from my room. One was my dog’s toy which we slept with and he had died only recently. Informed & explained to Duty Manager at night and front desk the next morning. They could not address my distress & anxiety as I was leaving to catch flight out. Just told me how improbable rhe incident is, doubted me and left me to simply wait for their news while they took time to check with the relevant departments. After waiting hours and receiving no response via phone call, WhatsApp and email, an understanding friend who is a NZer helped me call them to follow up. Only then, she found someone responsive enough to actively search. Disappointed with hotel’s general lack of understanding & poor response. Other than above crucial point, hotel & room were nothing great despite their high rate. Other hotels charge as high like a more well known one across the road and friends thought it was better. Other staff encountered were friendly and performed well. Strongest point is its proximity to bus stop for key services to outer parts of Queenstown.

Service: The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming. On my first night, I wasn't sure how to use the laundry room, and the lady at the front desk patiently came over to show me how. (Though doing laundry, drying, and detergent cost me $6 or $8, which stung a bit...) Facilities: The room was quite spacious and even came with a bathtub, which was generally good. However, the bathtub had a really annoying flaw: the glass panel next to it wasn't fixed (and couldn't be fixed). This led to me slipping and falling while showering when I leaned on it. Although I wasn't seriously hurt, my arm ached for several days and had bruises. Also, the outdoor pool wasn't heated, which was a bit disappointing. Environment: The hotel is located on Fern Hill, offering expansive views. Our room had a large window, allowing us to see Lake Wakatipu and the mountains across (I forget their name), which was incredibly beautiful. On our third day, it rained a little, and there was a thin layer of snow on the mountaintops and a rainbow over the lake – it was simply perfect. Hygiene: It was very clean, and I didn't encounter any issues.
