The Carlin Boutique Hotel

很棒，很漂亮

酒店是小型豪華酒店。當然房間並不小。在房間房品服務上很下功夫。除了餐食有待提高，沒有什麼不滿意的。

在樓下被震驚以為是居民樓，進來了豁然開朗。酒店總共沒有幾間房，非常boutique。室內軟裝就是國內高端酒店的普通標準，沒有驚艷，但露台的景色絕了，Jacuzzi很加分

The Carlin is not a "5-star" hotel experience, which it holds itself out as and charges for. The view and private hot tub are great hence the 2 stars. Otherwise this is effectively a poorly-designed air bnb, not a luxury hotel. We left feeling a bit scammed. Some details/notes below: -We arrived around 8pm after traveling halfway around the world. As we checked in asked if we could grab a drink at the bar. Bar is closed. Is the hotel restaurant open for food? No, it's permanently closed other than for breakfast. Can we order room service for food? No, room service not available. Any restaurant recommendations? No recs and was told most restaurants would be closed (this turned out to be incorrect) and told we should just "order Uber eats" for fast food or something. Not a great first impression. -Walls are not sound-proofed at all. Expect to hear people using the (tiny) elevator in the back and in rooms next door and above. -Only one employee was on site during the day that served all roles, including waiter for breakfast, and often at night there were no employees on site. -Housekeeping did not come every day we were there. -Room has several lights that cannot be turned off. Including a large, glaring neon-green "exit" sign placed in between the bed and the window. I've never seen an "exit" sign inside of a hotel room. I'm sure this is code but obviously should've been thought about when the hotel was designed. This forces anyone staying to close the blinds around the bed so they can't wake up to the view, which is the main attraction. -First night, the bright fluorescent bathroom mirror light would not turn off. The bathroom door is glass so this fully illuminated our bedroom. Couldn't place blanket over door since a sliding door, and wires to lighting went into the wall. Almost comical. Called front desk. Was told they wouldn't be able to get an electrician to fix until 3 days later (we stayed 4 nights) and no other rooms. What? After explaining this was not a reasonable solution, guy came up and unlocked a door to an additional musty bedroom with NO windows (kinda creepy - what hotel room, much any bedroom, has no windows?) that didn't seem it had been cleaned recently and was told to use this room instead to sleep. Whatever, we needed sleep. Next day when we asked for some kind of discount but were told no they viewed us as made-whole since we had an additional bedroom. The next day they did end up figuring out how to turn off the circuit-breaker to the bathroom light so the light was just permanently off. Other nice places in the area were already fully booked, otherwise we were close to just cancelling and switching hotels. -Furniture is weirdly uncomfortable and TV too large for where couch is located. Gym is a joke, basically a treadmill in a mirror covered closet. -poor water pressure in the shower -The rooms in general are not appointed well and very out of place given the location. Everything has this cheesy, garish

We had a wonderful experience at the Carlin hotel. A beautifully appointed property with luxurious furnishings, bedding and bathroom accessories. The view was incredible and the balcony spa was a treat. Nothing was too much trouble for the team. Smiles all round!! Thank you to Richard and Patrick for going over and above! I have never experienced such exceptional service at a hotel. Thank you for all the little things. You made our trip truly special. Would highly recommend.

Excellent location, unbeatable view, small walk from town. Rooms are a good size, clean and very comfortable - although more suited to couple and 1 child. Spa bath on balcony really added to the experience. Tasteful new build construction, classy yet not ostentatious. Facilities are simple, functional and appropriate. Staff lead by Patrick are extremely accomodating, courteous and helpful - including the chef.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Carlin Boutique Hotel, and I can't speak highly enough of the experience! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Patrick, who turned out to be an exceptional host throughout my stay. Patrick’s genuine hospitality and attention to detail made me feel right at home. He went above and beyond to ensure all my needs were met, providing fantastic recommendations for local dining and activities, and even arranging transportation when needed. His knowledge of the area and friendly demeanor truly enhanced my visit. The hotel itself is charming, the balcony has the magnificent view of Queenstown and beautifully maintained, with a perfect blend of modern amenities and cozy, boutique charm. My room was immaculate, with a comfortable bed and tasteful decor that created a relaxing atmosphere. The amenities, including the complimentary breakfast, were top-notch and added to the overall comfort and convenience of my stay. I highly recommend Carlin Boutique Hotel to anyone looking for a delightful and personalized experience. Thanks to Patrick and the wonderful staff, my stay was memorable, and I look forward to returning in the future!

What an amazing experience. We loved the boutique hotel, close proximity to town, the personal attention from the friendly staff. Newly built hotel with a classy timeless Fitout. Patrick and his excellent team worked tirelessly to ensure all our needs were met.

Patrick welcomed us with his warm smile and his excellent customer-serviced, friendly and helpful manner while checking us in was commendable despite of that the hotel is experiencing uncertainties at this stage he showed and proved to be a perfect ambassador We are so glad to see our spotlessly clean room and was exceptionally perfect with a fantastic view of the lake. The food was great too. This hotel was perfect for our family. We stayed 3 nights. The hotel is in a fabulous location and a short walk to Town. Thank you Patrick for looking after us We definitely back again
