mi-pad Queenstown

Vending machine was amazing. It was very convenient to get a drink whenever we wanted. We loved the hot chocolate especially when it was cold. The staff were especially friendly, approachable, kind, and helpful. Special mentions to Gordon, Dani, and another Singaporean friend whom we unfortunately did not get his name. They shared advice and recommendations for our trip that thoroughly enjoyed.

The room was very modern and clean. The bed was very comfortable. We were really impressed with the lighting. It was very quiet. The location was excellent. We loved it.

Very clean rooms, excellent location in the city center close to all pickup locations for all tours, free coffee and water at any time, high tech hotel - you can control all the room & hotel facilities from the mobile app, even access key to the room.

(1) Location was super central (the roadworks were hardly an inconvenience - and I really appreciated them telling us in advance through which road we can access the property, so that we could plan for our busstops etc.); (2) Staff were absolutely lovely - it was my partner’s birthday, I couldn’t log in to my Uber Eats, and the staff helped me place an order for a cake for me to surprise my partner, and included a little happy birthday post-it which I found so cute and thoughtful! They also sent the cake right up to our room. Their mi-pad app is also very helpful for an additional key to unlock your room + chat with the staff about any of your concerns (and they’re super responsive and helpful). On our first night the staff also gave us a list of dinner recommendations around the area (and they were really good!); (3) Temperature control was perfect. This is something so basic but not all hotels get it right, and in the winter it was a blessing to have the reassurance that we could come back to a hot shower daily; (4) The vending machine with hot drinks (which was, to our benefit, practically right outside our room) was a huge convenience - I love starting my day with a hot coffee and ending my day with a hot chocolate especially when I’m out in the cold all day, and I was very impressed and pleasantly surprised by this amenity; and (5) Super smooth check-in and check-out. Also a bonus that there are board games if you’d like to play! There are also social areas on the other floor but we didn’t check them out much.

Mi-pad was located on the edge of Queenstown Central which meant that shops, restaurants and the Queenstown Gondola were all nearby and within a 5-10 minute walking distance. The hotel was nicely furnished and looked great with the added bonus of multiple floors and facilities to check out. The unlimited hot drinks section was a nice touch given the coldness of Queenstown.
