This time coming through Arthurs Pass we were lucky enough to spend a night and we were the only people that were happy about the miserable weather - raining, because it also meant that there was snow falling on all the mountain tops. This was an added bonus as far as we were concerned. Amongst the fog and rain was... More

We stayed here for one night at the begining of April 2013. I had pre booked this hotel prior to arrival and will admit that I was a little worried about our stay as it looked quite dated in the photos. Well let me tell you, dissapointed I was not! While the rooms are a little bit dated, they are... More

i agree with all the other reviewers that this place is rather dated and shabby, but it is in a remote location so i wasnt expecting 5 star accommodation. we arrived before 2pm and the reception door was locked and no one was around so i called the number on the reception door and got an answering machine! we had...

So pleased we stayed here this trip , we werent sure what to expect after having spent lots of nights in top rated motels but we were pleasantly surprised. We received a very warm welcome on arrival late in the afternoon and were shown to our compact but very clean room with a great view of the valley and surrounds.... More

If you're passing through keep passing. If you're walking in around the pass then options are limited. My room was above the bar area which was a mistake as the mucis TV was quite loud, although mercifully it stopped quite early. The bed does need replacing. As I went for the fish and chips I can't really comment on the... More

They were very helpful and understanding and put the no vacancy sign up so nobody else could book into the room with us. The... More

This hotel is located right in the village so very close to the start of some of the hikes. It has a bar and restaurant which is handy. Service at reception and in the restaurant great. Rooms are old and drab with basic facilities. Meals were very average.

We stayed here on the last night of our 9 day trip before heading to Christchurch and flying out. The downstairs bar adds to the atmosphere and the meals were HUGE and full of flavour. Tom, the owner, makes sure you feel comfortable and you can have a chat to him about things to do in Arthurs Pass, how the... More

Arthur's Chalet was a great overnight stay on the first leg of our trip from Christchurch airport around the island. As we arrived in the early evening, it was a delight to have a nice bar/restaurant downstairs! I wasn't feeling well, and the sweet gal at the counter went into her personal medicine stash and gave me a cold/flu lemon... More
