I loved the location, quiet & serene garden side, great lake view & short walk to the lake, in the heart of Queenstown, short walk to the shops, restaurants, attractions. The service was great, very helpful, friendly staff, huge range of buffet breakfast options that catered for guests with different cutural backgrounds, very clean & tidy hot spa room, which was a great treat after day of skiing. I found the staff very considerate & mindful of guest needs and preferences. Highly recommend Novotel.
