This hotel/hostel is conveniently close to the centre of town and the bus route to and from the airport. The older rooms are small but warm and comfortable. The place is also quiet and thus a very welcome alternative to hostel accommodation. The shared bathrooms are a bit ancient, but clean and reliable. I stayed in the lodge for a... More

The Comfort Inn Melbourne Lodge in Queenstown is conveniently located just a few blocks from the heavy-duty tourism of downtown. Beware that these few blocks are a bit of a climb coming from downtown back to the Lodge. Our room was large, with a king sized bed and two twins. It included a small refrigerator and hot water pot with... More

We generally stay here the night before/after trekking. It's okay - VERY basic. It needs a massive overhaul and a new paint job. The reception staff probably need a customer service refresher course also (it's nice to look up from the computer when someone is standing at the desk!). But it fits our needs, particulary when travelling in larger groups!... More

While traveling down south we pre-booked online the "Comfort Inn Melbourne Motor Lodge" all did we know that we were in for a shock of our lives, upon viewing we were disgusted by the condition of the shabby old decor, broken banister on balcony and rude staff. After leaving we inspected another nearby hotel with the same price, 5 star,... More

I cant believe the conditions in this hotel - the hotel rooms were disgusting. Stains on the doona, the carpets were not vaccuumed under the beds where there were crumbs, empty pill packets and a champagne cork. The room also had a blood stain on the wall, cob webs,the cups and glasses were not cleaned properly and generally poor cleaning.... More

My family stayed here a few times by using it as a hub to go to Milford Sound, Aoraki Mount Cook, and before we flew back to Auckland. The rooms are definitely worn out and are in need to refurbishment. I found that some of the electrical outlet switches were disabled and the shower didn't always give me the right... More

We have stayed here a couple of times before and after tramps/hikes in the great south west of New Zealand. The staff are always friendly but the rooms are really tired and in desperate need of demolishing or drastic renovation. Beds are saggy. Sliding door locks are all dodgy. Fine for a backpacking sort of holiday, but probably very overpriced... More

Older motel but quite serviceable. We had rooms on second floor and had a nice view. Staff was friendly and helpful and as we had an early bus to catch for Routeburn Track, they let us leave the excess bags in the room and moved them to storage for the two nights while we were away. Note that it is... More

Rooms were okay, but carpets and rooms were old and worn. It's up a hill above Queenstown, providing quite a workout if walking to/from town. Overall, service was very nice. More
