Fox Glacier Hotels

staff friendly.

It is near Lake Matheson.

Friendly and helpful staff, good local knowledge of places to go and things to do, room was clean and tidy although basic and had laundry facilities which were much needed. Excellent views of the montains when the cloud is not down.

It was a little further than expecte from the centre of town - 15 mins walk and the street was quite dark returning late at night. Walls of the units were thin and the plumbing allowed us to hear when neighbours were having a shower or using running water.

the location, with a view of Mts Cook & Tasman (cloud permitting)

the noise from the nearby heliport. the wireless internet reception in our room was poor and unreliable.

/great room

The room is clean and spacious.

No hot water after my husband had spa so the rest of us have to cancel our shower. This is even after we waited for 30 min still no hot water. I ended up taking cold shower as I didn't know. I have to soak in the spa bath to stay warm after the cold shower.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food at the restraunt was great and the location perfect.

The very friendly staff, the warm feeling.

The room was a nice size, with plenty of space for the kitchenette and bathroom. We had a 'studio with spa bath' and it had two beds- a queen and a twin, plus a couch. It was clean.

The place was pretty outdated, even compared to other NZ hotels we were at on our trip. Mattress was old. It was also about 2 km (1.3 mi) from the center of town.

We booked a 'studio with spa bath' and the room was large. There were two beds (1 queen and 1 twin) plus a couch. It was fairly clean, but outdated. The mattress was pretty old and not terribly comfortable. There were only two pillows for the big bed. There was plenty of space and electrical outlets, plus a small dining table. The bathroom was large, and the spa bath did actually have jets. The motel did have free wifi, but it did not work on our iOS (iPhone or iPad) devices (even with our tech abilities). Worked fine on other phone and laptop, though. Be aware that the motel is about 2 km (1.3 mi) from the center of the small town of Fox Glacier. If you've got a car, great, but if you're dependent on buses, it's a long walk for restaurants or to transport. The motel does have a view of Mt. Cook, which is not visible from the center of town. We had a great stay in town, with a guided walk on Fox Glacier and a trip to Franz Josef for dinner & hot pools. Franz is at least 30 minutes' drive (or longer if you are careful on the windy roads).

Location, service and dining were excellent!

N/A

Fantastic B&B with wonderful and helpful hosts, you feel at home.

Nice hotel, at an ideal location.

The few staff I spoke to were both friendly and courteous

The room was small, felt cluttered, was reminiscent of 1960s budget accommodation. Carparking was unsatisfactory.

The hotel was easy to find and the view from our window towards the mountain was superb. There are some lively bars/restaurants in the town

The room was a bit small for the amount we paid, internet is only available through a local wireless network, the main restaurant closed early (8:00p.m). They wanted to service our room at 9:00 a.m.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.
