Best Fox Glacier Hotels

"The town of Fox is really small, so it is very convenient to go anywhere from the hotel. The front desk of the hotel speaks Chinese, so communication is convenient. There is a simple kitchen with a small stove and microwave, so you can cook simple meals."

"Very close to the Fox Glacier view point and the hiking start of Lake Matherson. The room was spacious, clean and warm, the facilities were simple, and the public kitchen did not have tableware and cooking utensils. There are several restrooms in the park, but only the central location has a kitchen and bathroom. There are three female bathrooms and three toilets."

"It was already 6pm when I checked in, and no one was there to greet me. I got my room number from the note on the glass, and was told that the key was in the room. When I left, I just had to turn off the power and heating and leave the key. It was a very Buddhist management. The room facilities were simple, and the bathroom curtain was a bit dirty and old. It wasn't warm enough to sleep at night."

"The environment is beautiful, surrounded by rainforest, glaciers and lakes. The facilities are a bit long but clean. The kitchen is fully equipped and very relaxing. But there is nothing for sale in the small town, and the items in the canteen are very expensive. Saw lots of free fireflies"

"The male receptionist who greeted us was not particularly friendly; and only when we got to our first floor room did we read about a luggage service. The room was tastefully furnished and clean, and other staff we interacted with were friendly. However the biggest issue is that the walls between rooms are are paper thin so we could hear people next door and doors banging. This woke us up early on both nights we stayed. If you stay - bring ear plugs. There was a lounge with a bar - the bar was permanently closed so there was no where to get a hot or cold drink unless you went to a cafe down the road."

"Very nice staff, everything was perfect. Breakfast could be better but quite standard in NZ."

"Generally clean. Nice large room with fridge and TV, although only half the channels worked. No microwave which should be included as the restaurant appears to be indefinitely closed. There are several restaurants near which are good. Very quite location so overall a good stay. Only way onto glacier is by helicopter which is costly."

"The room is not big, but it has everything you need and is clean and tidy. This is the only hotel you can choose in Fox Town. This hotel is pretty good. The breakfast provided needs to be self-service, but it is well prepared. The service is quite considerate and they specially recommended the best location for viewing the glacier for us."

"The hotel facilities are average, but they have everything you need. The location is very good, on the main street, very close to the meeting point for glacier hiking, and only 5 minutes walk from the trail where you can see fireflies. The boss is very nice, answering all questions and introducing us to many surrounding attractions. I forgot to mention that the boss is Chinese, and I felt very close to him because he could communicate in Chinese."

"The room was very clean, with private parking. Plus it’s super close to Fox Glacier Heli-hike activity center!"
