Nice lake views but the suite was small and rooms situated on the 4th floor have a strange location which means transferring lifts on the 3rd floor (unless you want to enter/exit from the car park). Staff were generally really good apart from a couple of the breakfast crew, breakfast was adequate, not great. Hotel location is lovely and it’s special to have the water taxi stop right outside. Given the proximity to the airport and the extortionate taxi fares charged to get there, Hilton should really look at offering a courtesy shuttle. All in all I would say that stay was just about value for money given that Queenstown is expensive anyway.

Bond of $100/night taken, with it taking up to two weeks to be refunded. Unexplained extra costs. Parking provided, but we had to pay $32 for two days parking. We could get the same amenities, plus a washer and dryer in Frankton for half the price. We will not be staying there again.
