Hotel is in the perfect location. Highly suggest stopping at the market for food because options are very limited. Also note the rooms don’t have refrigerators but there are several large ones in the common area.

There are limited accom options in Mt Cook and this one is good value for money, clean and comfortable. If you’re staying more than a night there are kitchen facilities. The location is spectacular and most of the rooms have views of the mountains. I would definitely stay here again
