location was excellent! close to all the hiking areas and the view was outstanding
United States of AmericaThe view from the room was outstanding (picture included) and the room was large, everything clean. While it was cold and windy outside, all was comfortable inside. Kind staff, even though I was clearly visiting at the height of summer vacation (early January).
ChinaIt’s an amazing place. The view from the room is awestruck!! The view of mt cook from room was better than from hooker valley trail in my opinion. But i felt like it was way too expensive for the convenience provided by the hotel. Not worth paying $360 !
United States of AmericaStayed in the new tower where every room has a fabulous view of Aoraki Mount Cook. Rooms are very clean, very quiet and very nicely appointed. Check-in/counter staff were fabulously friendly and helpful. The onsite gift shop w/NZ Post counter had nice clothing and outerwear from some of the popular NZ outfitters along with the usual kitsch. Buffet dining was good value with a huge variety including nice options for my vegans.
United States of AmericaSpectacular view and big windows in the room was looked like the frame of the mountains view
ThailandThe view of Mt Cook - weather was cloudy and rainy on arrival. In the morning we woke up to a fantastic clear view of the mountain from our room. The location of the hotel nestled at the bottom of the steep hillside gives you a sense of the wild environment around the area. The buffet dinner was excellent- great range of very good food. The ambience of the hotel is good. Rooms are clean and tidy and with a good view. The Hillary Alpine museum is well worth a visit, with the history of the Hermitage, the development of the ski planes landing on the Tasman glacier, and the life of Sir Edmund Hillary.
New ZealandStunning location and view, great martini, comfy bed, very generous of towels and amenities, friendly staff,
IndonesiaNice and friendly staff everywhere. One day rained all day so we got the movie pass, I think it was $20, and watched multiple documentaries in the Edmund Hillary center. They were great. Splurged on the Panorama room and enjoyed a Mt. Cook sunset. Lovely waitress, Tanya, gave us excellent service.
United States of AmericaThey were overbooked so they gave us an upgrade with lovely view of My Cook. Nice balcony to sit outside. They also had a shuttle service to airport for glacier flights.
New ZealandThe room was big. the views were amazing and the staff could not have been more helpfull
