Find the Cheap Fox Glacier Hotels

Room was new-ish, in good repair with many appliances, including a microwave, dorm fridge, toaster, and electric tea kettle) and a mini-kitchen (two-burner electric range). Bathroom featured a jacuzzi-style tub we could not use due to a boil water notice from the local water supplier. Two dings kept us from rating higher: the front desk staff only spoke Mandarin Chinese (we checked in via teleconference with someone who I presume is their son or business partner), and the boil water advisory. This motel appears to be aimed mainly at Chinese tour groups, for whom the former, at least, would not normally be a problem. As my party was the only one apparently in the hotel at the time, I read from this that their trade is mainly in summer, when presumably they would be better staffed. Otherwise a fine stay.

The host was welcoming and provided us with helpful information pertaining to local walks, restaurants, etc. The room was of a good size with nice, clean furniture. The King Sized bed was comfortable and there were extra pillows and blankets if needed. A super-efficient heater was a bonus. Plenty of hot water and good pressure. The only (very small) negative was the room slept three people but there was only cutlery for two people - thankfully we didn't have a third person! Excellent covered parking right outside the unit. All in all, we recommend this motel, and would definitely stay here again if in the area. It is just off the main road, so nice and quiet with friendly hosts and easy walking to the local restaurants and the main road for grocery items. (PS - Highly recommend Betsey Jane for dinner - just a few doors down from this motel)

It is economical for a trip of 5 people. It would be nice if there was an extra bathroom. The transportation location is convenient. Lake Matheson and the Glowworm Caves are both within a 55-minute drive.

we enjoyed our one night in an executive studio. The bathrooms are very well fitted out with great hot water and good pressure. Room has a fridge and cooking facilities with lovely stainless steel sink. the property is in a quiet location - hear the birds chirping in the morning and there is a lovely view to Mt Cook. Gavin was an amazing host - nothing was too much trouble.

Facilities: All necessary, you can cook in the room Hygiene: clean and tidy Environment: A very cozy cabin with electric blankets in winter. The location is excellent. If you want to check in at the supermarket or go hiking on the glacier, it is estimated to be 5 minutes away. It's also very close to drive to the trail for hiking, and the environment of the hotel itself is beautiful! Service: Very enthusiastic. Whenever I see you, I will say hello. If I encounter any problem, I will find a way to help you solve it.

The location is very close to the location of the walking glaciers. The password is unlocked. The first sign of the church is still reserved. It is very prominent on the door, the glass is good, the kitchen and other equipment are OK, and the wine is prepared... the attic can not live. Look at the mountain, there is a chair on the top... The air conditioner is not strong enough, the space is empty, and the wind can be felt here in the washing machine position below, but on the sofa, the curtains are pulled up for the first time, and the three sides of the glass are lit. At the same time, the same heat... Lifting the hair of the existing electric fan ceiling fan is not bad, relieved... At night, the back of the bed is not against the wall, there is a beak on the opposite side, the glass can still be accepted, lying down and found that the top is red! Individuals will fall asleep after fatigue! It varies from person to person...

Not to the same standard as we had experienced previously. Room was a bit tired and sofa-bed needed dumping as cushions were warn out and it was very uncomfortable to sit on. Wi-Fi was poor to non-existant. There own website states continental breakfast supplied, but this is not the case. Had to ask for milk, which we would have expected to be in the fridge when we arrived. Most importantly, there is a sign in reception which stated that the water MUST be boiled as it is unsafe., but sign turned riu d in reception - luckily we had been advised of the situation whilst eating locally. Such a notice should be displayed next to each tap in the facility.

Our stay at this hotel had a few issues. The rooms are clean and looked nice at first glance but we found the rooms noisy from internal and external noise. There is nowhere to hang clothes, no closet or rail. The shutter blinds let a lot of light through early in the morning. The bathroom was clean but the shower temperature was erratic and the shower head kept falling down. Food and drink in the restaurant is good but the service is a bit chaotic. We prepaid for our breakfast but in the morning we were told we weren't on the list for breakfast so had to go to reception twice to resolve that issue. Not a great start to the day. The evening dining service involves queuing at one place to ask for a table and then place your order for food. You then need to queue again at the bar to order drinks. Overall, for the price we paid for the room I don't feel we got value for money.

The review is a bit late but better late than never. Myself and a friend stayed here for a night during a road trip and thoroughly enjoyed staying here! The rooms have everything you need and the staff are great, even giving hints as to where to go and what to do. Thank you for the great stay and highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Fox.

We really enjoyed our stay. Rooms are adequate size cozy and clean, bathrooms are nice. We were welcomed with a drink on the house and a great dinner afterwards. Scallops for appetizers, pig (wife sheep) for main and it was delicious. We even got the waiter to chill our red wine in advance. It’s not a 5 star hotel in a big city but a very comfortable hotel in the countryside and that’s what you get and pay for. So I give it 5 stars for giving us all we could wish for, for the price.
