We were on a coach tour and the director warned us we were in the Sth Island and out in the countryside at that, so not to expect the same standards as the big cities. How right she was. LOL It was like entering a time warp and entering a bad motel room from the '60s. The room smelt musty,... More

Although this hotel is very simple and average and a bit old fashioned, it had a certain charm. It gave you the feeling that you were in a time gone by...but still there. Anyway, everything was fine. The staff were helpful. Eating in the restaurant next door was very simple but good..a bit like being in an old time movie.... More

What an experience, room and décor surly came from a generation long lost. No hand basin in bathroom, you have to wash your teeth and coffee mugs in the same basin. The TV was on its own planet, it shouted for a service or replacement. Dirty towels on the floor and no provision for the three of us. The bet... More

Lumpy beds, under-maintained, but not too bad for a $100/night room in peak season. Front desk staff was nice, and it is super once isn't on main rd. Front desk isn't open at night though, and breakfast is across the road. More

I stayed here for just one night after a trek on the fox glacier and was disappointed by the basic standard of the room. The bathroom was tiny - just a plastic shower cubicle (the shower wasn't very hot) and toilet and there was not a lot of space in the room for two people. I was really disappointed but... More

i stayed 2 nights at this hotel and must say the place itself - Fox Glacier is a resort town and it was really quiet during my winter visit. The hotel is clean, well maintained in a building built in 1900s and i quite appreciate the charm of the building. The room and toilet is clean, simple. the hotel itself... More

Simple style hotel, no frills but completely acceptable for what we were after. We had booked through www.hotel-desk.net, had been offered a great rate and found nothing wrong with the hotel at all. It's clearly only ever booked for 1/2 nights at a time as the place has a huge turnaround of people (Coaches arriving/leaving everyday). Good location, good rates,... More

Fairly good location in what is a small town. Town seems to exist mainly due to the tourists going to see the fox glacier. The room had a few cobwebs near the windows, but we were advised in advance to expect a few insects as it was expected for the area. The bathroom was new with a new shower unit... More

We arrived after 2pm but we were turned away as their check-in isn't until 3pm. 2pm is normal and 3pm seems excessive. Room very average and certainly not worth the high price. Bathroom is tiny and with no handbasin! After going to the toilet you have to leave the bathroom and use the handbasin in the main room. There are... More
