Mountain View Motel

I liked how cheap it was. That was really the only selling point and all that I cared for, but if one likes the finer things like wi-fi, a kettle, or an extra blanket or two, then try the other hotels in Queenstown. Also, to my pleasant surprise, there was in fact a blanket for warmth, running water, and a warm shower. When the radiator in my room caught fire, the young fellow they sent to help fix it (Timothy) was most helpful and got me another room very promptly.

The radiator in my room caught fire and I had to be moved to another room. Technologically, the place is like everything in Queenstown, third world. The sheila whom I spoke to on the phone was rather rude, abrupt, seemingly unaware of the basics of customer service, and sounded quite bogan. The whole place could do with a thorough clean, and in the second room I was given, the smoke alarm was broken (it was left hanging open with wires hanging out from it). As a final remark, one of the photos below shows the rather colourful way the staff have of reminding the punters to not steal the toilet paper. I am honestly unsure as to whether the Mountain View deserves the highest praise for how funny the sign is, or the lowest because it employs someone who does not understand the difference between "there" and "their".

Beautiful view

Middle of the Queens Town

Well appointed accommodation; had all the facilities we needed for our overnight stay. Very clean. Cosy and warm. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy check in/check out. Thank you so much.

Location and price were great

It is a budget hotel but a bit of TLC would not go astray
