Place is pretty good but small lounge attached to kitchen could have been bigger. Mattresses were reallly too thin and pillows pretty bad too. Really calm vibe and close to fox guides and the supermarket. Might be too crowded if the place is more full. Owners were pretty absent, hardly saw them. It is low season though..

I stayed here for 2 nights in May 2013. Just randomly chose it from a list of google results, perfect choice!! The rooms are nice and clean for a fair price. The staff is amazing!! The manager has been more than helpful and is just an awesome guy. I ended up extending my stay as I had such a good... More

I stayed here for a few nights in Nov 2012 while travelling around the South Island. Fairly standard backpackers accommodation, everything clean and nice. But the real high point were the staff, especially the manager. I ran into issues while trying to transfer money between bank accounts and he could not have done more to try to help me out,... More

Fox Glacier Inn was the only place on my trip to NZ where I encountered rude, unhelpful staff. The manager, who not only speaks very fast in barely understandable Kiwi accent, refused to let me do the laundry at 8 pm claiming it would wake people up! Truth is, he just couldn't be bothered selling me the token since he... More

We were told about the Fox Glacier Inn but a staff member of one of the other hotels in town when we told her we were looking for somewhere cheap. It was great advise! The staff were extremely friendly and really made our stay. They were willing to go above and beyond to help us with our trip. The rooms... More

We stayed at the Inn on St Valentines, 2 days before our 39th anniversary, and had a great time. Last year we were in the Lodge next door but we only wanted a quick stay and an early start in the morning. Clean, good basic facilities, comfortable, good sleep and early start for breakfast after walking around Lake Matheson (1... More

We have stayed recently at this place and there came a group of Korean youngster into this place. In a very short time, they took over the whole place. Smoking where it is not allowed (alarm went off very quickly after they arrived), making a mess of the bathrooms, smashing with doors all night, runnning thru the place and talking/screaming... More

We did not belive all the comments here, saying how bad this place really was and decided to give it a go. Wish we wouldn't have done that. The room was stuffy, lights from the staircase of the connecting building were on the entire night shinning through the window and it was very noisy (until 2.30 am!). Kitchen was more... More

We were forced to stay here as it had the only room in town and I must say this is not what we would normally book (gotta say the family is a bit snobby when it comes to where we stay lol) but the staff were great, room was clean and tidy and we had a quiet good nights sleep.... More
