Summary: The lone staff person I met was friendly and polite. This is mostly a hiker hostel. Our room with the twin beds was totally appropriate (and what was expected for the affordable price). This is not a lux hotel and doesn't sell itself that way. Full bathroom, functional and clean plumbing, a common area kitchen with most of what one needs to prep a meal (bring your own paper towels, maybe plates/glasses and understand this is shared low-cost housing).
That said, the facility is in dire need of exterior maintenance. Not sure how they could afford all that needs to be done with the vacancies we saw on our visit, but the grounds and building exterior could use hundreds of hours and maybe thousands of dollars to really dress it up. It has so much potential - if the area through-traffic would support it.
There's a restaurant attached to the building, but it is closed. The cafe on the same property wasn't open when we stayed - didn't look to be operational. There is a gas station right across the way, several competing (no vacancy) hotels and hostels, a dairy-type convenience store and two cafes (breakfast and a really crowded and understaffed lunch/dinner/bar) just a block away.
Seriously, if you are looking for a place to park your tired legs after hitting the nearby glaciers and hiking trails, or a heli ride/tour, and you aren't seeking fancy, the rooms are totally adequate to sleep. Just don't expect chocolates on your pillow.

Summary: The hotel is in very poor, unsightly, condition. The service at reception was absent to minimal. The room was clean but a little tatty despite being said to be one of their best. The TV was connected via WiFi whose channel was not connected to the internet. The satellite TV was not working. Both faults were beyond the capability of the staff to correct. I eventually reset & tuned the sat & its LNB myself.
The nearby Bestsy Jane restaurant was great & improved the overall experience.

Summary: You get what you pay for and I couldn't complain as we were a late booking. We had everything we needed, comfortable bed, hot shower and private bathroom. Jesus (spanish manager) did all he could to accomodate us. If you want 5 star and want to pay 4 times the price stay elsewhere but this was very suitable for us, no complaints here 😊

Summary: The room was very clean. But it says wifi which unfortunately does not work unless you are outside. The TV works off of wifi, so no TV to be able to unwind. The frame on the twin bed needs to be bigger as you fall off either side giving you mininum area to sleep. But it was great distance to the Fox Glacier walk and Lake Matheson.

Summary: Sadly we had an unpleasant stay at this property. Buildings very run down. Unpleasant really strong smell like chlorine in room. Staff changed room which was appreciated. Staff did try and help but limited english.Water had to be boiled for use.
The weirdest thing was tea and coffee provided but no cups or kettle. Manager stated owner would not provide milk for guests. Outside areas were very untidy and uncared for looking.
Appreciated that staff tried their best but was a miserable stay.
