Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with great views and a big bathroom. The service was exceptionally helpful, but lacking a bit of boutique charm. Perfect location for exploring local attractions on foot. The dining experience had a good atmosphere but lacked variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with great views and amenities, although the heating was not operational upon our arrival. The service was professional and welcoming, despite a slight misunderstanding of what 'boutique' entails. The location is convenient, a short distance from Fox Glacier Town and perfect for accessing dining options. The dining experience was satisfying with a cozy atmosphere and great breakfast choices. While the room was cold initially, the overall stay was enjoyable and good value for money.
The hotel is so close to everything, making it super convenient for exploring the area, but the rooms were uncomfortably cold when we arrived on a chilly winter afternoon. The service was really helpful and friendly, offering great tips for dining and booking tours, while the dining experience was exceptional. However, the heating wasn't turned on prior to our arrival, and it was a bit pricey for the value received.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully furnished, spotless, and very comfortable, with stunning views. The central location was perfect, and the fresh eggs for breakfast were a delightful touch. However, the room size was a bit small, although the balcony and mountain views made up for it.
My stay at the hotel was simply amazing! The rooms were gorgeous with beautiful views and very fresh eggs for breakfast.

The location was super convenient, just a short distance from the town center, and the dining experience was delicious, especially the happy half hour with wine. Overall, a fantastic stay with some minor drawbacks.
