        Layout, Hot Showers, Peaceful

        We really enjoyed our stay. It was refreshing to find a backpackers/Inn with friendly staff, very clean and peaceful. It was not overcrowded and the rooms felt more like a lodge at a ski resort. Each room had heating and ours had a tv. The kitchen was very clean, nice tables and a clean fridge. The showers were roomy enough, hot water and very clean feel.here's also a large bar with plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. We loved Fox Glacier Inn. It is very well maintained and managed.

        Value for money, location & staff performance

        I feel that this is 2 star accommodation. Really a backpacker hostel with some en suite rooms. The room was very small & damp with condensation but adequate for our 1 night stay & an ideal base for visiting Fox & Franz Josef Glaciers. There was complimentary soup available in the evening which was good & an adequate free continental breakfast the next morning. Staff were friendly & helpful.

        Free soup, free breakfast, location

        The Inn was empty but they still gave us the worst room there (room 24 please avoid!). It was dark, many bugs no fridge or couch. Manager kindly moved us to a better room but still wasn't the cleanest. I think it's just a bit of laziness from the staff! If you see dead bugs on the ceiling or walls - clean it up before new guests arrive!! Room wasn't serviced - apparently we needed to be in the room which doesn't make any sense at all! wifi was really bad. The only thing going for this place is free soup and free breakfast. You get what you pay for here - there are limited options in Fox Glacier and this was by far the cheapest at half the average price for a double room.

        location

        We rented a three bed room, which as expected was quite small but it worked fine for one night. The reason I rated the price lower is because you don't get much for your money, but on the other hand the other places are probably not much better. There is simply not much to choose from in Fox Glacier.

        Good location, good kitchen, good price

        I stayed 2 nights there and our arrival was a bit extreme and at the beginning the owner of the place did not or was not really understanding my situation (for him was also a bad day). Hopefully the cook of the place saved our night when we arrived and I have to thank him!! This hostel has a great potential I think and we could sleep well, have a good time in the kitchen, we were given free Wifi vouchers, so in the end I would recommend this place.

        The receptionist is very good service ! Although we had informed them that we will arrive after their working hour , they still waited us until 10pm++ to pass us the room key and roughly explained the room & kitchen direction to us. The room is very clean which is exceed our expectation too. The shared kitchen might need some cleanings but it is still consider as a clean kitchen compared to other backpacker’s. (Because some guests didnt clean up their stuff after used ). Everything is GOOD!
