Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

10/10 Excellent
"wonderful hotel with great views and very helpful and friendly staff. Room was amazing, spacious, clean and comfortable, complete with a kitchen so i could do some cooking. Though it is a bit of a minor walk (around 5-10 min) from the main city centre involving uphill/downhill slope."
