We stayed here as part of our honeymoon in December and was my personal favourite hotel. The service was excellent, the pool was lovely and never overcrowded and as for the views!! Just superb. Only drawback was the size of the room but seriously, who cares? Things to try....The luge, Skyline restaurant is cool but we loved the relaxed setting... More

I stayed at Ridges late January for four days. The view was fantastic from my room but that was about all that was. I expected more from a Ridges hotel. The carpets were dirty and the bathroom just had lino on the floor it was very outdated but clean however a cleaning bottle was behind the door for four days.... More

Took a "suite offer" from an email advert..... offered lake views as a part of the deal. We were on the 4th floor and our lake view was of a large flat rooftop with plastic vents adorning it. If you walked from the room across this large concrete roof (about 15m) you could peer over the buttress and see the... More

We chose Rydges in Queenstown, N.Z. because it advertised a special deal, incl. "free wi-fi, hot tub, swimming pool". OK, fine. But when we got there, the wi-fi was only available in the bar, and AFTER you've bought a drink; even then, it was sketchy, and the connection kept cutting off. Eventually, it didn't work at all. The pool was... More

Great location on the flat near town, but the hotel is very tired, no air con, felt sorry for the staff struggling with a bad product. We upgrded to a suite for a reasonable cost, however it was so noisy that it ruined our stay anyway. The views from most rooms are to the lake which is fine, but it... More

We were recommended to the Rydges Hotel by the i-Site Information Centre in Queenstown and it was a good choice. While there are some areas in the hotel, particularly the decoration, which are looking tired, the bed was very comfortable and the linen spotless. The hotel faces the lake and with a room on the 10th floor overlooking the lake... More

The good - the front desk reception staff, we found them cheerful,welcoming and very very helpful. The bad- Internet prices are ridiculous and lack of access outrageous. In this day and age who has a "business centre" that consists of 3 old slow desk tops - where is the wireless????. The very very ugly - the dreadful woman in the... More

Booked a room for this hotel thru expedia for 2 nights. Turned out to be a big mistake! The room ("Sleep n Go Double") was in the rear building. It was old and beaten, and cleanliness was questionable. The ceiling looked like there was mold or something. I went to the reception immediately and complained about this. Long story short,... More

We checked in late after driving from Dunedin to Queenstown due to a plane rediversion. Asked about car parking at check in, was only told to park outside at the left of the hotel or "in the street". It was interesting, later in our stay we discovered a Car Park on the 7th floor that we were not advised of,... More
