Amazing views from our room…and almost every other area of the hotel. Check-in and out were easy and staff were helpful and friendly. Everything you need for a stay in the area is provided here, museums and space experiences to those who love hiking and adventure through the glaciers and mountains. All activities can be booked via the hotel. The bar and dinner buffet were excellent. No complaints. Would highly recommended and would love to stay again.

Close to Mt Cook and surrounded by amazing scenery. The property is clean, tidy, and well staffed with friendly people. Went to bed at night on a chilly evening and woke in the morning to the magic of a snow covered vista. Noises of avalanches in the distant hills echoed all day. Just stunning and captivating.

We had a very enjoyable experience but were let down by our room not being serviced on one day of our visit, otherwise would have rated 5 stars. Night duty manager was missing in action one night with only one staff at front desk. The breakfast and dinner buffets were reasonably priced, and we enjoyed our experiences there.

Location is gorgeous. But our reservation was entered incorrectly into their system (despite the confirmation email being correct). At dinner, no waitstaff ever came to our table, although tables nearby were waited upon.

6/10 Okay

Peter

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The Hermitage staff were excellent & location stunning. Unfortunately however while the rooms were clean & tidy, the soundproofing of the rooms was exceptionally poor. We endured broken sleeps every night due to noise levels so would only stay again if we could specify to be on the top floor. Would also be lovely if all three advertised eating facilities had been open for variety and choice.

Poor hotel service

The hotel is very dated and has not been maintained well. Service was questionable and so what rude.
