Loved location . Had a full kitchen upstairs & kitchenette in our room . Short drive to Tasman glacier walk & hooker valley track . Nice if u want to engage with others or peaceful back in your own room . Mt cook area was stunning
Joan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great property in the heart of Mount Cook Village. Room was a good size and featured a big bathroom and a small “kitchen” and fridge. There is an upstairs lounge with incredible views and a big kitchen if you want to cook your own meals since the restaurant options are few and expensive in Mount Cook Village. The room was very quiet and also had a big double chair that could be pulled out into a single bed. A great option for less money!

Stunning location, mediocre hotel

You're paying for the location not the property itself and the location is 10/10 - a 7 minute drive to the start of the hikes, Mt Cook view from just outside the front door! Stunning! The property is what it is, you can't expect much in a remote location but I was still disappointed. Rooms are tiny, no AC (it could get warm on a sunny summer day), no air circulation at all. Only hotel I've had in NZ without a mini fridge in room. There is a full shared kitchen and lobby got guests with several fridges but other guests moved my stuff in the fridge and it was definitely not optimal especially in a post covid world. It would be very worth it IMO for the property to spring for a mini fridge and microwave for each room. Rooms are accessed from inside with a tight hallway and stairwell. Still in the end worth it for 2 nights for the location.

6/10 Good

Clean and super simple hotel. Bare minimum amenities so don’t expect much even for toiletries provided. Kettle was too big to even fill up water from toilet tap properly and coil inside kettle was old and rusty. Personally I dislike co sharing of kitchen as there happened to be a large group of guests who were cooking in kitchen during dinner time. They were ok to share all the utensils though even tho they took up most part of the cooking area and they left their used utensils at sink while they have dinner. So we couldn’t use the sink. Good thing is they were not noisy so m thankful for that. Kitchen ventilation is not gd due to some other guests frying salmon and stink up the whole kitchen. I was initially assigned a room next to the kitchen and i asked for a change to another room so avoid the noise and smell. Noise could still be heard fm rooms next door early in the morning so sound proofing of rooms was not fantastic at all. Will opt to stay again only cos of the beautiful scenery it has but won’t enjoy the hotel stay itself.

Absolutely beautiful location and good facilities. We really enjoyed our stay here. Accommodation was basic but comfortable, slightly small for a family of 4 but being able to sit in the kitchen and living area was a bonus.

4/10 Fair

Asked front desk for laundry coins, they us the right amount of money but wrong type of coins. Front desk is only open for a short time so we couldn’t ask again when we tried doing laundry in the evening. We were only able to wash clothes and not dry them. Room had no hand towel, just washcloths. Only a small packet of shampoo, no conditioner or body wash. Just a single bar of soap to use for both washing hands and showering. Property details says there is a restaurant but this is not true. There is a shared kitchen for guests to make their own food.

Great location for a two night stay. Easy checkin, the upstairs large communal area fantastic. Is very big and has everything you need to cook. Very clean, staff very friendly and helpful
Bridget, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Pros: Excellent location; terrific view of the mountains; cooking/dining /common room very good with great views; staff pleasant and helpful. Cons: Small, shoebox rooms - a great disappointment for the price. Poor soundproofing - I could hear people in the next room talking during the night. Would I recommend it? Not really.

Beautiful location & deck with view for dining

Beautiful location. Front desk staff super helpful and friendly, especially Hafizah. Clean community kitchen stocked with dushes, pots, pans and cleaning supplies, BBQ grill, refrigerator space and small amount of free supplies like milk. Had french press or plunger for coffee so bring coffee grinds. So close to hikes. Great value for price.
