The hotel offered excellent view of the Mount Cook. The room was soundproof which suitable for rest. The mattress was soft and comfortable. Dinner was excellent with fresh and plenty of choices.
ThailandThe view from the room is probably one of the best sights we had in our trip to New Zealand. The location is so unique, and the experience is of complete disconnection. The beds were comfortable, the TV and wi-fi worked well, everything was clean. There's a very nice souvenir & travel gear shop at the lobby, and they also have a planetarium with unique shows. They have travel guides in the shop and you can book nice activities in the surrounding area. It's very close to the Hooker Valley Trail and to the Mt Cook Airport (just a few mins drive).
IsraelBuffets for dinner and breakfast were plentiful and delicious. Upgraded our room and had a wonderful view of Mt Cook.
United States of Americait was convenient to everything. views of Mt Cook were fabulous
United States of AmericaWhile we did have a some view of the mountains we were on a lower floor which meant that we also had to look at the roof of the restaurant. Hotel was very clean. Very good location. The front desk staff were very good.
CanadaWow, so beautiful! I did not regret upgrading to a room overlooking Mt cook.
United States of AmericaView from room excellent. Check in staff very good. Had an issue at the restaurant when the staff ran my credit card incorrectly and said it did not go through. Questioned me if there was money in my account. Very strange and embarrassing in the public area. They were just doing it wrong and when they ran again it worked fine.
United States of AmericaExcellent hotel in stupendous location. Rooms are comfortable and decent size. Everything in good working order, recently remodeled and clean. No air conditioning, but this is high country so not a big deal. No safe in room. The Hermitage is very remote, so bring some groceries and fill up gas tank before setting out. Activities desk has numerous tours and good hiking advise. We had a rainy foggy day, so we did the movie, museum, and planetarium show for $29ea. It was better than hiking in the drenching rain to not see anything in the pea soup fog. Breakfast buffet is $35ea, it is very good with a wide selection. The dinner buffet is $65. It is even better with lots of expensive seafood and meats on buffet. Considering the price id food in NZ and especially in a very remote area like this, the price is fair.
United States of AmericaLocation cannot be better. The views from our room were fantastic, even if we could see a little bit a parking lot. I very much enjoyed their breakfast and dinner buffet. A lot of choices and quality of food was great! It is expensive but if you can afford it, I recommend eating there. 100% will be back!
United States of AmericaBeautiful property overlooking Mt. Cook. A welcoming and helpful staff. Tons of activity options. Can book most things right in the hotel. Our room was spacious and the view was spectacular.
