Perfect - this is the place to stay!

Wow, what a lovely hotel! The location couldn’t be beat - we walked everywhere with the gorgeous lake in front, the gardens to the left, surrounded by shops and restaurants. The free valet parking was easy to use, but we really didn’t need a car. The hotel itself is historic but comfortably luxurious with high ceilings and oozing character. We enjoyed the lovely parlor, which is a living room open to the small cadre of guests staying at any particular time. We met some other families during the evening drinks and canapés, which were Included in our stay, and I used the space for some work video conferences during the morning hours, when I did not want to disturb my family sleeping in our room. Overall, Eichardt’s was warm and comfortable. Service was outstanding and we didn’t want to leave. The main picture on the hotels.com Website shows a hot tub, which is belongs to the penthouse room and isn’t open to anyone else. A bit misleading since you don’t need your swimsuit, but everything else here was phenomenal. We will be back!

Upon arrival at Eichardt's Private Hotel (the entrance and lobby were very hard to find!), we were greeted by a nice man we weren't sure was the concierge, guest manager, or bellman. After informing us that our car was parked in the wrong location, he grabbed a luggage cart and came out to unload our luggage which he proceeded to wheel down the street to our lakefront apartment. In hindsight, he may have suggested that we walk down together to view the room and that he would deliver the luggage later. He gave a thorough review of the room amenities but explained nothing about the property itself, restaurant hours, fitness options, etc. At one point during our stay the wrong car was brought to us when we requested ours. Overall, the staff seemed to not be coordinated and no one seemed in charge nor committed to excellent service befitting a property commanding that price. Also, our room was 'tired'. The grout in the bathroom was dirty (a good bleaching would help!), the rug in the living room was frayed, and the upholstery was worn. We also noticed a large boat at the dock with the hotel name on it. Was that a service or tour option we could have taken advantage of?

Great staff, excellent location. Had a few difficulties with room which were resolved by the attentive staff. Only negative was the limited breakfast menu which had very few of the standard breakfast items (cereals, eggs, bacon, sausages).

Disappointing: Room without any windows!

Disappointing to be given a room that did not have any windows! A bit cheeky for a so-called 5 star hotel, as it felt quite claustrophobic. A mention of this at booking would have been appreciated. In addition, soundproofing was terrible - our room was next to a kitchen, and all sounds were clearly audible, from conversations, to the radio, pots and pans and more. We left feedback in the room on the hotel's feedback form as we were checking out very early and couldn't address it in person. No one has been in touch since. Shame to be let down by what should not have been offered as a room without warning. In contrast, staff and service are really great, and location is unrivalled. Overall, the feeling of the place is a bit like a B&B, rather than a hotel, it's main income source looks like the bar and restaurant.

Beautiful view of the lake

We stay to nights at this lovely hotel. We stayed at the units next to the main hotel and they were well equipped with a kitchen and fireplace. The complimentary cocktail hour was very nice because we got to meet and talk with some very interesting people. The breakfast was great as well as their Bloody Mary.

Great Location & Beautiful Views

We loved this hotel... we specifically chose it for it's easy walking access to cafes/shops, and the luxury feel factor - we weren't disappointed! We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment overlooking the lake which had a fireplace (perfect for the cooler weather). The quality of the furnishings are beautiful, the staff are extremely personable and the views are stunning. It was an easy walk to the Queenstown gardens - which we did everyday to immerse ourselves in the autumn season. Would highly recommend for a warm & cosy stay (plus it's right next door to Botswana Butchery restaurant - yum!)

Amazing location

We had a relaxing time . Seemed less private with new restaurantnext door . Some staff were not well trained especially in the small bistrot . We were by accident given the wrong champagne by the glass and the waitress was very rude to us questioning us about it being correct ! The barman apologised and replaced it .Food on the cold side when delivered finally . We had guest drinks upstairs and stall were well educated .

The hotel is just great. The food at the hotel is simply superb! Room service and the perks were just wonderful. Although the weather was unsettle, but the fire place made the stay particularly comfortable during the rainy days. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom second to none.
