Very old. Charming in some ways and not so much in others. For Fox Glacier, it was probably the best choice as the restaurant was good and the beer was cold at the bar. Its been awhile since weve seen a place with radiators for heat.

Looking pretty dated. Could do with sprucing up of the carpets. We were turned away from dining in-house even though we were told it could be arranged for us.

It was all good except we weren't advised on checking in that breakfast finished at 9 a.m. the next morning. We got a call at 8.30 the next morning to advise us of this. Consequently it was a bit of a rush to get there in time.

Unique location, friendly staff, clean rooms and all basic conveniences. However the TV was blurry and AC didn't work (replacement fans weren't ideal).

Convenient location but just average room

Hotel is really conveniently located, especially if you want to go for the heli hikes or rides the next day. Room itself is just average though. Can do with more hooks for clothes and maybe a microwave.
