I stayed 1 night in this hotel in March 2009 as part of a package tour of New Zealand and Australia, so cannot comment on the room cost but can make observations on the facilities etc and compare it to all the other 'same-standard' 3* or so hotels I stayed in. The hotel is located on the main street in... more

Stayed for one night, room was refurbished but tiny. bathroom was nicely done but again small. The walls were very thin could hear our neighbours chatting away. Goodish value at $110 per night but you probably should try one of the motels on Cook flat road for a better nights sleep more

Having read the reports on this hotel it was with some apprehension that I arrived at Fox Glacier with Kirra Tours on 12th March 2008.I was given a recently renovated room in the main building. The room was clean, comfortable and had an adjoining sitting room and excellent bathroom with spa. While it had a new flat screen TV It... more

We stayed here for one night as part of a tour group. We were accommodated in an adjoining block, affectionately termed "Stalag13" by our guide. Walls are thin but if you have climbed the glacier and had a few beers, all you might create and hear are snores!! There is a fairly lively bar in the Hotel and a couple... more

We travelled with Kirra tours so we didn't book the hotel ourselves, it was just one booked for us as part of the tour. It was easily the worst one we stayed in during our whole time in NZ which was 24 days, we had two rooms, one for us, one for our teenage daughters, our had a leaky pipe... more

The "hotel" has got a few different buildings, and it was quite hard to locate the reception. The room we had was small and cold (heater not working 100%). There were stains on my duvet and the tv didn't even work. The toilet was dirty and the water from the tab was yellowish. The only good things about this place... more

Just returned from a fantastic 5 weeks in NZ but the lowest point was at this hotel. We were given a room next to kichen extractor, it was grubby, it had a crack in the sink, it was dark, paper on wall was pealing, no water came out of the hot tap.......after complaining we were given a room for one... more

Do not stay here if you can avoid it. The place is up for sale and has been left to go to ruin. It is literally falling apart and can only be described as a dump. It is sad to see in what was probably at one time a very nice hotel. more

The reception area was just a taste of things to come. The dated faded decor reminded me of the B&Bs I stayed in on school journeys in the early 1970s. Had to drag my suitcases up to my room on the first floor past the peeling wallpaper in the hallway. The room was dissapointing, small with no central heating, just... more
