Good experience. It was unfortunate the scaffolding was up in the main restaurant. The Level 4 bedroom view from our room wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but was OK. Sadly other guests were loud in hallways and rooms late into the night for most of our 5 day stay. The housekeeping was frustrating -didn't come at all one day, we were asked to leave our room at 5.40pm the next day for housekeeping to come through (and we were recently returned from a busy day, and they came through very late the next day and appeared to do very little. Two days we had to ask for replacement toilet paper rolls as no top ups were left.

Dear Jeanette , Thank you for giving us a feedback regarding your recent stay with us. I am sorry to hear that neighboring rooms have kept you awake at night. For your future bookings with us, just simply give us a call at Reception, we are open 24/7 and we could make a courtesy call to them. I would also like to extend our sincere apologies for the late servicing of your room and for missing out on some amenities. We are currently facing the challenge of staff shortage, that explains why servicing of rooms are a bit delayed . Hoping to be able to make it up to you on your next stay with us. Sincerely, Renaliza Rillera-Rimando Assistant Manager The Mercure Queenstown Resort

We decided to stay here for the views and wow the views were great and the bed was awesome Day 1 the Friday The reception told me I didn't have a booking and I was like "WHAT" and I had to look up on my phone the confirmation email and tell him my booking code Day 2 was fine Day 3 Thought we would get breakfast so waited to be served , nope didnt get served , I went over to reception to ask them to get a hold of the people to check us in for breakfast the lady rang the phone "no answer" , so the reception lady came over to find them. She went into a kitchen with loud music and then out popped the Male to serve us So we charged it to my room and he said have you ever been to this buffet we said no so he showed us and wow he did this so quick and fast that to this day i still dont know what he said While having breakfast there was nice music on but also you could hear indian music coming from the kitchen and it was very annoying

My curtain and carpet had a rip with was around 15-20cm long, I had to call the maintenance man to fix the light in the bathroom and the flushing knob on top of the toilet fell out . There were no extra blankets and the only thing I could use was a throw at the end of the bed that only covered half the bed. Im from NZ but I will not stay at the Mercure again and it's a shame that this is the standard we set for overseas travellers. The Resort needs some much needed love. The staff were lovely however.

Dear v. , I appreciate all your detailed feedback as it is a way for us to work on the things that we need to improve on. I will surely pass on your comment to both our Housekeeping Manager and our Maintenance Manager regarding your room experience and once again thank you for taking the time to give us an honest feedback on your overall experience with your stay. We strive to always deliver the best of service and this feedbacks would help us in reaching that goal. Hoping to be able to make it up to you the next time you stay with us.

Another good stay in quiet location with great views to the lake (depending on your room choice). Dinner steak and fries were lovely though chimchurri sauce was quite oily and steamed veges were dry. Friendly staff, despite current renovations disruption and I enjoyed the welcome/upgrade. Must try the swimming pool next time! Thank you.

Dear Mee Moi , I am happy to know that you have loved the views from the Mercure Queenstown Resort and had enjoyed the room upgrade. Also I am glad to know you had a good dining experience and thank you for giving us an honest feedback on the things that we need to work. I will surely pass this on to our Executive Chef.

Went there with my family we re expecting the way other members are welcomed assisting with luggage and early check in but it didnt havent. We need to go around the town first and wait till the room gets vacant in the afternoon. During our first night stay there was incident with fire alarm and fire truck came. we didnt heard anything from the management that there was something going on till my wife notice the alarming sound and had to ring the lobby. We then notice that there was not much people booked in the same floor where we staying. We re the last one to get out the hotel when the incident happend. We requested for our room to be serviced but it wasnt cleaned well. rubbish bins wasnt completely emptied and the blanket where not folded properly. I dont know maybe the staff are really busy. The staff are very hospitable especially the guys in the dining area. We enjoyed the breakfast especially the view from the dining its magnificent. The hotel main dining area is under renovation but it would be much better if it was done. We love the location and the view.

Dear Nikki & Maria , Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Queenstown Resort. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies regarding missing out on assisting you with your luggage. Also we always try our best to accommodate the early check in however it is subjected to availability. I would also like to apologize with the unfortunate event of having the fire alarm triggered during the wee hours of the night. Our number one priority is the health and safety of all of our guests. Regarding your experience with us servicing your rooms, I will surely pass on your comments to our Housekeeping Manager . I am glad to know that you had a good dining experience and yes we are hoping as well that we could have the main restaurant opened soon. Hoping to be able to make it up to you on your next stay with us. Sincerely, Renaliza Rillera-Rimando Assistant Manager The Mercure Queenstown Resort

Breakfast was good Staff is smiling and helpful Shouldn't say outdoor heated pools as it all disappointed us (freezing cold) we were all rising our expectation and decided for the pool

Dear Veronique That you for all your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. I will pass on the positive comment regarding the service of our staff . Thank you for that. However I am so sorry to have let you down regarding the pool not being heated. It is a seasonal pool and this time of the year it gets really cold. But I hope you were able to enjoy the other facilities as well. Looking forward to welcoming you back at the Mercure Queenstown Resort.

Firstly thank you team for our room upgrade, I brought my family down to Queenstown for the first time and they were so impressed with the service from the time we arrived at the front desk, the restraurant and bar staff, breakfast staff in the morning from greeting us until we finished, it was above and beyond our expectation. THANK YOU everyone, especially Sumi for being the first smiley face we met and replying to my crazy emails, the manager on site, Fay and Alina not sure if her name is correct for helping my niece when she passed out after swimming, Fay you're life saver ❤. Great location away from the busy city, beautiful view and the hotel is in excellent condition, looking forward to come back next time and the buffet restaurant will hopefully be open then.

Dear Maninoa, Thank you so much for all your heartwarming comments regarding your recent stay with us. I will most definitely give a shout of to SUMI, " FI" and ARLENE for making your stay a memorable one. We would love to have you an the whole family inhouse once again. Thank you.

Staff and service were excellent but the facility is in dire need of some love. Rooms seem like they haven't been refitted since the 90s, carpets were stained and dirty. Other guests were noisy and rude, soundproofing would go a long way.

This is a way for us to be able to gage on the things that we need to work on as we always strive to deliver the best of experience to our guests.

Staff were friendly and helpful. One even offered a crutch for my sick/elderly mother who wasn't able to walk long periods. The room was great with a stunning view. I wasn't able to enjoy all the facilities because it was a short stay but I felt warm and welcomed.

Maria Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

The limited amount of staff working made us feel very welcome. There was a shortage of staff which meant our room was unserviced for one day but we received free drink vouchers for the bar which more than made up for it. The opening and closing time of the bar and breakfast area needs to be updated as this closed earlier than advertised. There were many choices for the Breakfast buffett which was fresh and yum. Other hotel amenities were excellent.

Dear Maria Thank you for all your heartwarming comments regarding your recent stay with us. We really appreciate the kindness in understanding the challenges that not only us but the whole of the Hospitality industry is facing now which is the shortage of staff. Regardless of this challenges we still strive to provide the best of service to our guests. Sorry to have let you down a bit with the Restaurant and Bar timings but we hope to be able to make it up to you the next time you visit. I am glad to know that you have enjoyed the Breakfast Buffet and all of our other facilities as well. . Looking forward to welcoming you back at the Mercure Queenstown Resort.

While we understand, the place was experiencing staff shortages due to Covid, I feel sorry for the housekeeping staff. It might be better offering a discount and ask customers to forgo having their room serviced each day.

Dear Darin , Thank you for taking the time to leave us a much appreciated feedback and suggestion I will surely pass this on to the Management. Short of staff is indeed a challenge not only for us but to the whole of the Hospitality Industry but thank you so much for your great understanding regarding this matter.

Hareshvdal TripAdvisor review

Very average. Big doubt about a car park room service supplies tea coffee milk was minimal..actually had ask for coffee… no enough milk.. for the whole 5 days stay there one cupboard left un cleaned.. Not really big enough for 4people

Dear Hareshvdal, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay. I am sorry to hear about the lack of room service supplies. I have bought this and the room cleanliness to the attention of the Executive housekeeper to review. At Mercure we offer a package which allows second rooms to be booked at 50% for families traveling with children and we have few interconnecting rooms which you may find more spacious and may have suited your needs better. Don't forget to check these rates when you are making a reservation on our website or please feel free to call the hotel directly on 03 442 6600 24 to reach out 24/7 reception team. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to the Mercure Queenstown Resort in the future. Kind Regards, Tegan

As usual the Mercure exceeded in every way. Everywhere was so clean, and the staff always obliging and friendly.. The food was excellent, I didn’t even know they made Cinnamon Ice Cream - delicious with apple pie. The Mercure is like our second home in the South Island.

Dear oldbrits, Thank you so much for your feedback. As one of our favourite loyal members, we always look forward to welcoming you and looking after you during your stay. Thank you for highlighting the delicious ice cream - I will pass along your feedback to our Head Chef. We look forward to your next visit. Kind Regards Tegan
