Road was closed due to weather. They refused to refund the room. Instead they demanded we wait all day to see if the road would open.

There are limited accom options in Mt Cook and this one is good value for money, clean and comfortable. If you’re staying more than a night there are kitchen facilities. The location is spectacular and most of the rooms have views of the mountains. I would definitely stay here again

The Aoraki Alpine Lodge was a pleasant place to spend a few days. I arrived in the later afternoon and was greeted by the kind staff and immediately felt welcome. They even have a mini store with everything from eggs to milk to deodorant and toothpaste so if you forget anything or want to make food, they have a small selection for purchase. My room was at the end of the hall and the views of the mountains were unreal. The room had the essentials and just down the hall was a large kitchen with 3 stoves and 3 sinks, a plethora of cooking utensils and all that one could need when working in the kitchen. There was a nice dining area and couches where you could see the mountains without any obstructions. The rooms were not 100% soundproof but I had no trouble sleeping at night and the noise levels were decently quiet. The shower was just separated by a curtain next to the toilet but it was nice pressure and got warm very fast. Overall, it was well worth the money, with trails a walkable distance, as well as restaurants, cafes, and bars at the nearby hotel, there was no lack.
This was the view I woke up to each morning!

From their outdoor area (equipped with a grill and tables) you can see Mount Cook and the surrounding mountains!

Great property in the heart of Mount Cook Village. Room was a good size and featured a big bathroom and a small “kitchen” and fridge. There is an upstairs lounge with incredible views and a big kitchen if you want to cook your own meals since the restaurant options are few and expensive in Mount Cook Village. The room was very quiet and also had a big double chair that could be pulled out into a single bed. A great option for less money!

Stunning location, mediocre hotel

You're paying for the location not the property itself and the location is 10/10 - a 7 minute drive to the start of the hikes, Mt Cook view from just outside the front door! Stunning! The property is what it is, you can't expect much in a remote location but I was still disappointed. Rooms are tiny, no AC (it could get warm on a sunny summer day), no air circulation at all. Only hotel I've had in NZ without a mini fridge in room. There is a full shared kitchen and lobby got guests with several fridges but other guests moved my stuff in the fridge and it was definitely not optimal especially in a post covid world. It would be very worth it IMO for the property to spring for a mini fridge and microwave for each room. Rooms are accessed from inside with a tight hallway and stairwell. Still in the end worth it for 2 nights for the location.

Clean and super simple hotel. Bare minimum amenities so don’t expect much even for toiletries provided. Kettle was too big to even fill up water from toilet tap properly and coil inside kettle was old and rusty. Personally I dislike co sharing of kitchen as there happened to be a large group of guests who were cooking in kitchen during dinner time. They were ok to share all the utensils though even tho they took up most part of the cooking area and they left their used utensils at sink while they have dinner. So we couldn’t use the sink. Good thing is they were not noisy so m thankful for that. Kitchen ventilation is not gd due to some other guests frying salmon and stink up the whole kitchen. I was initially assigned a room next to the kitchen and i asked for a change to another room so avoid the noise and smell. Noise could still be heard fm rooms next door early in the morning so sound proofing of rooms was not fantastic at all. Will opt to stay again only cos of the beautiful scenery it has but won’t enjoy the hotel stay itself.

Asked front desk for laundry coins, they us the right amount of money but wrong type of coins. Front desk is only open for a short time so we couldn’t ask again when we tried doing laundry in the evening. We were only able to wash clothes and not dry them. Room had no hand towel, just washcloths. Only a small packet of shampoo, no conditioner or body wash. Just a single bar of soap to use for both washing hands and showering. Property details says there is a restaurant but this is not true. There is a shared kitchen for guests to make their own food.
