Not a lot of choice in Mount Cook Village but the Alpine Lodge is clean and well equipped and so well placed . The walls are a bit thin but everyone without exception respected this fact so it wasn’t a problem . The staff are helpful and parking is relatively easy either at the front in the evening or at the back during the day . The views of Mount Cook from the communal area and the upper bedrooms at the front are perfect . Nice to sit with you coffee looking at the mountains . Everything else you can put up - not luxury accommodation but great even so .

Staff was extremely helpful. Was an overall comfortable room. General kitchen & dining area had awesome views. At night there seemed to be loud machinery noise-I forgot to ask what it was. I was able to sleep because I got used to the sound.

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.

The location is perfect. The common lounge is super. The view is also excellent. The rooms are bit dated. But it’s ok for short stays. Considering the price and location it’s excellent value

Mt Cook is a destination that has to be visited. However it is expensive with limited options to dine. Nowhere to relax and have a drink before cooking your own dinner. While the alpine lodge was ok I would never return for a second visit. Very happy I only booked one night

Room is very small. Shower pressure was a bit sad. Really convenient place to explore Mt Cook but other than that pretty basic. No fridge in the room either although we found leaving things in the car cool enough at -5

Great spot for a hiking trip!
This was a great place to stay the night between hikes in Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park! It's a great location, right next to the visitor center, and just a few minutes from the Hermitage, which serves up the best buffet dinner I've ever had (it's pricey, but as the only dining option in town while I visited, very much worth it)! I would definitely stay in this lodge if I visit again.

We had a studio with mountain view. It was lovely. The wifi was excellent. The room was spacious though relaxing. Unfortunately our unit was at ground floor and facing the car park. So it can be noisy at time. our stay was also marred by the next door neighbour who smoked at our patio.

Great stay, great facilities - if you want to cook for yourself there is a great kitchen or if you want a restaurant then book in at the Heritage (about 100 meters away). Staff were very friendly and helpful. View from the bed was Mount Cook - awesome :)

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.
