Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Scenic Suites Queenstown is frequently praised for its spacious and clean apartments, many of which feature balconies. Guests appreciate the convenient location, with an easy walk to Queenstown's central area, though some have noted the uphill return. The well-equipped rooms often include large kitchens and comfortable beds, and while underground parking is available, it can sometimes be tight.

convenient locationwarm milkmissing robes

The location was convenient. A short walk led directly to the town center.

I found several issues. The fridge was not turned on when I arrived, so the milk was warm. There were no robes in my room while a family member in an identical room had two (strange!). Checkout staff did not seem concerned when I provided this feedback.

I liked the size of our room. It was larger than I thought it would be. The king suite had an very nice view too. When we needed firmer pillows they brought new ones very fast.

The room smelled like cigarette smoke. I guessed that was from the previous guest. Parking felt terrible to me. It was difficult to find my room because the hotel seemed like a rabbit warren.
