The resort was lovely with a spectacular view of Mt Cook from our balcony. The room was clean, the staff was friendly and accommodating.

Lisa, United States of America

Location is great, free parking, several restaurants to choose from. Although the room was basic, it was comfortable and clean. Sitting on the patio with a glass of wine, looking up at the mountains, was a real treat.

Gary, United States of America

The view from the room is fantastic and unforgettable. It is in the heart of Mt Cook. The facilities In the hotel are great. The view from every angle of this hotel is great.

Catherine, Australia

You can’t beat this location, so you can understand the prices. The rooms are clean and a great size - bed was incredibly comfortable, especially for two jet lagged people! The views are out of the world.

Unbeatable location of Mt. Cook. Luxurious inside out. It's inside the (standard) room that's underwhelmed. Comfortable bedding. Fast complimentary wifi.

“A lovely hotel, with clean, comfortable rooms and lovely views of Mt Cook.”

- • Couple
- • Superior Twin Room with Mountain View
- • Stayed 1 night
Nothing to speak of.
A lovely iconic hotel with fantastic views of Mt Cook (when there is no fog or rain to obstruct the view). We were lucky the weather cleared the morning before our departure, so we were able to get the desired photos of the mountains. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The price of NZ$266 for one night is not cheap, but breakfast is included which makes it better value.

Loud tourists in hotel, especially on our level outside our room. We eventually had to go and tell them to take their conversations elsewhere for we couldn't get to sleep.
Our view from our spacious room was superb, between the rain and fog. A Nespresso style coffee machine and binoculars were thoughtful finishing touches. Breakfast in house was the best I had on my trip on the South Island. The selection of food was extensive and beautifully presented. Staff were also polite.

Understanding the location is spectacular and the Hermitage is really one of only two hotels at Mount Cook, we found the accommodation to be quite tired and in need of some renovations, based on the price we paid. The hotel restaurant and bar were great, however our room and immediate common areas outside were old and tired. A rusted and broken downpipe outside our bedroom meant heavy dripping onto the concrete from the rain kept us awake most of the night. Even the door into our room was smaller than the door frame, and the intense light from the corridor steaming in through the gap disrupted our sleep. I think this hotel needs some work to their rooms, to warrant the rate they charge.
Mount Cook and the view from the hotel bar was stunning.

The cleanliness was terrible the windows throughout the entire facility were filthy our room window had face smudges all over it the rooms need a face lift very outdated and tired feeling might have been good 15 yrs ago the staff were rude and we felt we were an inconvenience and it was a total money grab to pay $67 for a buffet and to be given the bill half way through our first and only plate of food and glass of wine was extremely rude and I had been asked 3 times had I finished was ridiculous and ruined our dining experience a real disappointment to what I was expecting train your wait staff on dining room etiquette not impressed at all with the whole Hermitage experience .
