Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

8/10 Good
"Great hotel & well-priced. Very comfortable bed and spotlessly clean. If you stay here, be prepared to negotiate your way up & down a pretty steep hill when walking to & from central Queenstown. Not suitable for those with mobility challenges. The Coco Cabana serves a delicious coco oat bowl for breakfast. However, it closes at 8:30pm & there is no room service after this time."

"The property is well situated except that it is not on the Bus route. Very clean facilities. Beds made daily. Tea & Coffee tray stocked up every day. Impressed with the shower draining freely as this is a matter of concern for us. Will try & stay here again on our annual pilgrimage to Queenstown (ZQN)"
