Room too hot and stuffy”

When we arrived, the receptionist changed our room from one on the ground floor to another up two flights of stairs, despite our declared wish to keep the original booking. So we made our way up the stairs, not without difficulty. The room was smaller than we had expected, and was stuffy. The only window opened onto an easily accessible wooden walkway across the roof. We decided that it was not safe to leave the window open, so the room remained hot and stuffy, there was no airconditioning. Bathroom and amenities were generally acceptable, but towels seemed old and a bit dingy. We had been given a wifi password to use: the system did not provide a consistently acceotable level of service. Despite my comments, this is probably the best place to stay at when visiting Fox Glacier, so my advice to anyone heading in this direction would be to give Fox Glacier accommodation a miss and stay somewhere near Franz Josef.

Surpassed expectations”

We were a little concerned that we may have a noisy experience at this hotel after reading some reviews, but it was wonderfully quiet. The staff responded quickly to a perceived concern we had and could not have been more helpful. We would definitely stay again, as it is so central, clean and competitively priced in a busy, seasonal tourist town.

Great location, dated hotel.”

Musty smelling, very old mattress, not very friendly employees at check-in counter

Fox Glacier is an amazing township and the Heartland Hotel Fox Glacier was right in the middle of town. This hotel is very dated and when we walked into the room it had a musty, moldy smell. The mattress's probably have never been changed. When you sit on them, they just sunk down. We booked 2 rooms, one for our kids and one for us, both rooms were smelly with old mattress's. We tried to ask at the check-in desk if we could extend one room for a couple of hours, so we could use it after our hike up the Glacier. The Employee would not even consider it and just said a curt "No." We did not try the dining room.

Rundown hotel”

Nearby to the base station for the trip to Fox Glacier

The hotel is the oldest in the area so is a bit rundown. Don't expect to much as they only provide basic amenities but it is still comfortable nonetheless. Late check-out is not an option as they are full all the time so it's a bit of a hassle if you plan to go to Fox Glacier in the wee hours.

A quaint old worldy hotel.”

The staff were helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Modernised rooms were spacious and clean.
Windows were drafty and heating took time to take affect. No electric blankets or heating in the bedroom area.

This was a lovely place to stay and use as a base to explore the glaciers. The rooms were comfortable, recently modernised and clean. Don't get confused with the other Scenic hotel!

The hotel locates right at the centre of the town, next to all travel shops, gas station, supermarket, restaurant. You won't miss it when you come to the township. Room is very clean and spacious. I will recommend anyone to stay if location is the first priority.

Location is very Good

if this hotel is booked near fully or close like in season time or busy period then be prepare for cold water that's 100%. no chance of getting hot water and hence i rated them average. no hot water in fox glacier...now that's difficult to handle. please make sure this very important point. i have booked room with spa and the only i can do there was to use the wash basin. no co-operation from staff - replied we have problem in our hot water system - typical answer

I really don't know it's good or not. cause I booked but I couldn't go there. cause The tranzalpine train is only 1. We miss the train and we couldn't go there.

Unbelievably noisy and poor value”

Avoid room 23 at all costs. Located directly over the kitchen, with bangs and crashes all day and evening until quite late, starting very early in the morning, plus the radio was on loudly at all times, followed by food/ cooking smells. Staff apologized next morning on checkout but admitted they knew it was a problem with that room but couldn't tell me why they had put us there. I know accommodation is at a premium in Fox but the room was tiny and very poor value for money compared to everywhere else we have stayed so far
