    Twizel is the best town between Mount Cook and Queenstown if you can't find accommodation in Mount Cook village. It's calm and rate of the hotels are more affordable.

    Breakfast is not quite tasty.

    8LouisPosted on: 4-25-2025

    Room size and dinner at the restaurant buffet was outstanding

    Mattress was too soft for my taste

    7EmilyPosted on: 4-24-2025

    Great location, buffet was good

    Alittle overpriced

    6SofiaPosted on: 4-22-2025

    The view on the mountains was nice, stuff was very welcoming, there was a fireplace in the hall of the hotel

    The sink and shower in the bathtub in the bathroom were located very low ( I needed to hunch over to wash my hair), the heater was making liquid sound all the time it was turned on. Everything looks quite outdated (like from 80s), but clean (however the toilet was a bit dirty inside)

    6SamuelPosted on: 4-22-2025

    Great staffs & service . Good price . Good breakfast

    The heating system make us cannot sleep well. Keep making sounds. We was in room 124.

    6JenniferPosted on: 3-18-2025

    convenient location

    Evening meals were limited, adequate but not great. Breakfast OK.

    10BarryPosted on: 3-18-2025

    Room, bed, location were all excellent. The evening buffet meal was suberb

    6KirstyPosted on: 3-14-2025

    The staff were very helpful, welcoming and friendly.

    The hotel is dated inside and was a little overpriced.

    9RobertPosted on: 3-5-2025

    Excellent for our brief stop in Twizzel.

    Breakfast was a bit expensive so we didn't take it.

    9DurdamyaPosted on: 2-26-2025

    Big rooms and and big beds. Very comfortable.

    Water pressure in the shower not good. It was very less.

    1NicholasPosted on: 2-25-2025

    Disappointed considering cost.

    No lift. No air con. Broken chair in room. Dated bathroom.

    6StephenPosted on: 2-24-2025

    I liked the size of the hotel and the rooms

    It’s a very dated hotel and needs renovation especially the hot water system or the lack of hot water.

    8MacmarPosted on: 2-22-2025

    This was a return stay. Food excellent, staff friendly & helpful very comfortable clean rooms. Would definitely stay again.

    No aircon

    8JeanenePosted on: 2-18-2025

    Very good

    Air siren went off at 4.00am. Would have been nice to warn us it might happen. We had no idea what was going on, were waiting for something bad to happen. Apparently it happens all the time to get the firefighters to the firehouse

    7VeronicaPosted on: 2-17-2025

    The room was spacious, nice to have a balcony and the bed was comfortable

    The bathroom is in need of updating, the shower was over the bath and the shower nozzle did not have a lot of pressure. Also the cabinetry in the room was very old fashioned. For the price we paid, I expected better quality, even for 3 star

    5FleurPosted on: 2-16-2025

    Staff is professional. The restaurant opposite of the hotel (Poppies Cafe) has good food. The balcony of our room was alright.

    It's quite expensive for what you get. Yes, the room is big, but the rooms (including bathrooms) should have been renovated a long time ago. It smells funky. There's a 20 minute time cap on hot water in the shower. In this time of year, there are a lot of mosquitoes, but there are no fly nets for the windows (and no AC in the room, so you have to open them with summer temperatures)

    10JerryPosted on: 2-15-2025

    Great room, it had a bathtub and a shower combination. Very nice bed I like being upstairs good view out the back of a park area. Good buffet dinner, and a nice buffet breakfast.

    It would be nice if they had a bike charging station.
