We were booked through the tour operator and had no choice in hotel (hostel) we had. The annex part of the hotel where we were put up seemed more like a hostel than a hotel room. There was no soundproofing between the room walls. The rooms in the annex were on either side of a corridor and could hear doors... More

We stayed in this hotel for one night as part of our bus tour through the south island. We were met at reception by a rather surly man. Our room was comforable enough though the bed was on the "spongy" side. The room facilities though clean were rather basic and the decor was very dull and uninteresting. The bathroom was... More

I would rate this as 1-2 star. There are various buildings on the site, and perhaps they are in stages of renovation, I don't know. We were given a room in the mid 120s, in an old building. The bathroom was terrible, the walls were thin and with a tour group arriving at midnight and shouting amongst one another, we... More

Have to say we struggled to find anywhere to stay for a family of 2 adults & 3 young children & so whilst the reviews were only OK, we booked anyway. The first disappointment was when we checked in to one Heartland Hotel in Fox Glacier & were directed to the other one, which looked a lot more basic. The... More

This hotel is well below expectation, especially for the price paid. On entry to my room the first thing that I noted was the smell. Foul! Room facilities are very basic. No desk. No vanity or shelves in bathroom. Not even a shelf for the spare towels. Internet is $5/hr, in an age where many hotels in this price bracket... More

Our tour guide told us not to expect much from this hotel, but it was a nice enough place. The room was OK, and it was clean, so for a one night stay that was all that really mattered for us. The evening meal was nice, and the breakfast was OK. Fox Glacier is a very small place, but there's... More

We had arrived from Queenstown after a few stops on the way and still awaiting to see the glacier. Before our food we were taken the 5 miles to the glacier location and given time to take photos. On arrival back at the hotel we found we were in room 109 which was at the back of the hotel. There... More

This was a stopover on a NZ coach tour. There is little choice here but this hotel is about 1 level above a backpacker hostel. Very run down and we didn't really want to get into bed that night. Need we say more. More
