This property was well located but I don't think it is worth how much we paid! The rooms are in need of an upgrade and the property is a bit run down. The staff, particularly Ella, was friendly and accommodating. It would be fine if we were paying $100-150 a night but this place was definitely not worth $250!!
Was as expected. No wow factor but a comfortable and clean place to rest for the night.

I hadn't realised breakfast was included that was a bonus. It was older building and very quiet - we think no one else stayed the night in the whole place.
Nice room but hotel feels like it’s being run on a shoestring. Although advertising a restaurant when we arrived and tried to book we were told it was not available to us as they had a coach party staying who were using the restaurant. Not much left for breakfast after the coach party had been in so if you’re planning on staying here, eat elsewhere!

Rooms are more dated than the pictures. Decent sized room.
This property has a very fresh look compared to the hostels around. The staff was very friendly and approachable. The breakfast is a must if you’re planning a stay.
Traving New Zealand for a month I’ve stayed in posh and cheap places, this was by far my favorite, the rooms were very clean and cozy. The stalff was excellent, nice and helpful and the breakfast was great, can’t recommend this place enough.
This hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to good cafes and bars. The room was lovely, although on level 1 there was no view - in fact we overlooked another building and the car park which was disappointing. If we stayed here again we would definitely request a room on Level 2. The breakfast (included) was excellent and the lady serving it delightful and friendly. Definitely the best place to stay in Fox Glacier.

Lovely spacious rooms but unfortunately eaten alive by mozzies and without the windows open it was too warm. Maybe flyscreens could be introduced on one window.
Excellent well located accommodation. Very clean and comfortable bed. Nicely furnished and warm. Good bathroom with bath and separate shower. Excellent breakfast.
