The Copthorne Lakefront has a great location, but is overall a very ordinary hotel. The hotel seems to be coming apart, and the decor is tired and old. One has to pay extra for parking. And it's full of gangs of tourists who've just got off the tour-bus. Not a good choice if you are an independent traveler. More

Many thanks for your comments, this time of year there are many tours in Queenstown that stay at all the hotels as it is in and around Chinese New Year. We have recently refurbished 55 rooms taking the total of refurbished rooms to 155. The remaining few are a little old but still quite comfortable, thanks again for your feed... More

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, really lovely and soundproof, had the best sleep. On the second night we were upgraded to lakeview rooms, it was wonderful. The breakfast is great, a good variety, staff were all very pleasant. Will definitely recommend to any traveller! More

Stayed at athe Copthorne for New Years Eve. Hotel is conveniently situated in walking distant to the town centre either down the main road or down through the gardens, which is a pleasant walk either way. The room we had did not have a view and was on the third floor down from main level and during the day we... More

Many thanks for your comments and glad that you enjoyed your stay, the hotel has just completed a refurbishment soon after you had departed which would have been the paint smell. More

We were "upgraded" to a room but the heater did not work. When we mentioned it, they did not offer a replacement but said will deduct 25 bucks which we really did not care for. The frontdesk was helpful at times and not so helpful at others. It really depends on the person. The rooms with the view has a... More

On our two weeks tour of The South Island this was probably the best hotel and location of all the places we visited. The room with it's stunning lake view and mountain backdrop was simply perfect. Plenty of space with all the amenities we wanted (tea making, fridge basic minibar etc) and an excellent modern bathroom and walk in shower... More

We got a good deal on this hotel, but in hindsight would pay more for better accomodation. We stayed there for one night before moving on to Millbrook for 4 nights. The beds were the worst I have slept on; the pillows even worse. The airconditioning was set for the whole hotel so there is no individual airconditioning in the... More

We travelled here for a ski holiday in July '10. The hotel itself is perfectly nice. We had a lakeview room. Reception staff were always helpful. It's a short walk into the centre (down a very steep hill- not so fun if icy!) I would give the hotel itself 4 stars. However I marked it down as we were charged... More
