Nice room, shame about the food.
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.
