Excellent location for all Mt Cook related activities. The room was spacious, and the view of the mountain incredible. We had a snowstorm overnight and staff were incredibly helpful with providing us with advice and scrapers to remove the snow. Also the buffet dinner was one of the best I've ever had. So much variety and well worth the expense. Would definitely stay here again.

Stay away. Do your day trip to mount cook instead. The buffet at alpine restaurant was terrible. The room and hotel look like it hasn’t been upgraded since the 1980s. There are stains on the floor carpet and you can hear the spring from the mattress when you sleep. Not a good experience at all, avoid at all cost. Not worth it even at half the room rate.

Building is overpriced for what it is, same as the restaurants, they take seriously that they are the only facility in Mount cook and take advantage to rip people off, buffet dinner for guests still extra $79 which is ridiculous. The hotel is old and smells, the TV has 0 signal and it was impossible to watch anything which is bad considering there is nothing to do at night around the area. The place should at least have smart tvs. The bathrooms are small. For 3 people we paid $999 for 2 nights which for that price I would have expected so much more. I would definitely not stay again in this place Don’t let yourself fool by the pictures online, it’s nothing like that. Only positive part is staff was friendly and the view of the hotel was nice.

The two ladies at the reception were very nice and helpful. As it was raining hard, we could not go to the park, so they helped us to move into our room quickly. The hotel has two restaurants, both have more than two hours wait list. Both have set menus and fixed, high price. No a la carte. There is no room service available. So hotel guests are forced into captives of the restaurants.

Amazing location
Location was spectacular! Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived so we went for a hike. The room was pretty standard and the bathroom a little dated but the view made you forgot about all that. Not sure you would get a view like that anywhere in the world!
