Coronation Lodge

This is a very basic hotel with few amenities but it met our needs nicely. We had a large room with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was basic. Both the room and the bathroom were very clean. There are no common areas but there is a coin operated washer and dryer that came in handy. The location was excellent. Overall it was good value.

Unfortunately anyone can rent a room. We had stayed here several times without a problem, until there was one. We checked in late as we were from out of town. We arrived at 9"30 pm, checked in, and went out. When we got back to our room we could not get the TV working. I tried and tried and tried. Now I've never had a problem with a TV before I've stayed in 100s of motels. When he came to my room, he tried to stand over me and be assertive. However, the issue was there's for not provided the service we paid for. We paid good money and received crap service. I would recommend finding somewhere else to stay in christchurch. Because everything may be fine until you have an issue Then things are different to avoid this, just don't stay unless you want to be stood over in your room late at night!!! The room was clean tidy that's it you can get this anywhere.

My husband and I stayed in room 6, a nicely appointed large room with a king and twin bed, large bathroom with accessible walk in shower, and a mini fridge and tea/coffee making amenities. The room had a lovely view of the Skyline Gondola and was two steps away from the center of town - so convenient. There was free covered parking for our car. Staff was very friendly. We stayed three nights and had a delightful time. It was winter and the room was cozy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a clean, no-fuss, comfy stay in a great location.

We recently stayed for two nights at Coronation Lodge in a 1-bedroom apartment, and it turned out to be the best place we stayed during our one-week trip to Queenstown. Initially, we were hesitant to book this lodge due to the lack of elevator access (it’s only accessible by stairs) and because it’s a lodge rather than a hotel. However, it far exceeded our expectations.||||The lodge is located up a small slope via a path beside Novotel Queenstown Hotel, making it about a 7-minute walk with luggage. After checking out, we discovered a flatter path opposite the lodge that leads through Queenstown Gardens to Lake Wakatipu, just a 5-minute walk away—much easier to navigate with luggage.||||Grace, the reception lady, was incredibly kind and helpful. She assisted in carrying our luggage to the room on the second floor and even allowed us to check in early as we were leaving for a day tour at 1 pm. Her warm hospitality made us feel very welcomed.||||The apartment felt like a true holiday home. It had a separate dining area, a living room with a sofa, and two separate balconies—one off the living room and one off the bedroom. The two beds we requested were comfortable, and the apartment also featured a kitchenette, a washing machine, and an air-drying machine. The parquet flooring added a nice touch of warmth, and the balcony and bedroom windows offered a beautiful mountain view, which was a pleasant bonus.||||We made the most of the kitchenette by cooking dinner and breakfast during our stay, and we even managed to wash and dry our clothes before checking out. The convenience and comfort of this apartment made for an awesome stay, and I hope to bring my family back to this place again!

Well fitted out, spacious and comfortable. Friendly helpful staff. Walk to the central shopping and nighlife area in 3 minutes. On site parking would generally be enough, if not, street parking is not very good. Not cheap but good by Queenstown standards.

a simple and quaint hotel that is very conveniently close to town. our stay was clean and comfortable. the staff were super friendly and helped us with a few odd requests! the biggest challenge is taking your luggage up the hill. we loved the view we had of the mountains just outside of our window! the streets are also not busy so it’s a calm little corner. all at an affordable price.

For $200 per night, we expected a bit better than what we got. The shower was pathetic, basically dribbled out of the showerhead rather than sprayed, and splashed so much on the floor that it soaked the entire bathroom floor. Floor was also slippery so needed the shower mat, which made the drain block and water pool. No shower curtain, no shower door, just a showerhead in the corner of the bathroom with half a wall next to the toilet. Parking was extremely difficult in the underbuilding carpark, and if one guest parks a large vehicle in there you either can't get in or you can't get out. No cooking facilities available, only had a toaster (which you have to request), and when we asked about the large communal area we saw, we were told it was for the staff only.

It’s a bit of a dated place with a small reception that’s only open till evening. However, the staff are eager to accommodate requests. For example, while there was no twin bed available, they added a small portable extra bed, which was an unexpectedly nice gesture. (It’s another thing that the extra bed gave away the moment someone sat on it). They also helped move our luggage by themselves because there was a room change in between in our booking (the larger suite room comes with a living area and a kitchen and is highly recommended). They also allowed parking in the driveway as the parking was full - there was enough space even for a large car. Location wise, no clear views of the lake but it was right at the edge of the city and walkable to everywhere.
