The communal space felt like a library, everyone was so quiet. Free hot tub and soup were bonuses. The staff was friendly, and the room was clean. I had a peaceful and relaxing stay at this cozy accommodation. I will definitely recommend it.

This cute little hostel in the middle of the village has a huge, clean kitchen and common area. The rooms and bathrooms are clean, with comfy beds. The breakfast is basic, but alright, and you even get a free veggie soup in the evening. The personal touches and sense of community make you feel right at home. Great location, close to glacier hot pools, restaurants, and cafes.

Felt fine, no reason to complain.

Convenient and reasonably priced

We stayed at a motel style double room en-suite. The room was a bit old but had nice photos and was definitely suitable for a night's stay. The best part was the friendly proprietor who offered us free soup for dinner and a complimentary breakfast. The location was also great, just a short walk from restaurants and shops. I'll recommend this hotel for its convenience and reasonable prices.

Amazing hospitality from the host, who provided soup and breakfast. Eclectic decorations in a cozy and warm room with comfortable beds and a well-equipped mini kitchen. Lovely community feeling in the shared kitchen and dining area, with great mountain views. Onsite washer and dryer, perfect for travelers with a baby and a dog. Additionally, several thoughtful touches made for a truly enjoyable stay.

We recently stayed at Glow Worm in Franz Josef for our helicopter ride. The motel/hostel combo was in a prime location, just steps away from all the attractions and restaurants. The communal areas were spacious and well-maintained, and the friendly staff made us feel welcome. The free breakfast and evening soup were a nice touch, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We also enjoyed the hot tub and the sounds of kiwis at night. a great kiwi vibe and a fantastic deal. Highly recommended!

Can recommend this hotel.

I had a fantastic stay at Glow Worm Accommodation! The value for money was amazing, with so many free amenities like breakfast, soup, and even a jacuzzi. The room was comfortable and the facilities were top-notch. The location was perfect, just a short walk to restaurants and tour agencies, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

The hotel's location was perfect, right in the centre of town which made it easy to get around and access everything. The private room was worth every penny as it had its own en-suite kitchen with all the necessary equipment. The breakfast provided was good and even included eggs.

No negative aspects to report, everything was ok.

Excellent staff. Friendly atmosphere. Great location. Reasonable free breakfast included. Adequate room.

The hotel is centrally located, with easy access to everything in the small town. All major attractions, restaurants, and shops are within a five minute walk, making it a convenient choice for travelers. The rooms are equipped with comfortable beds, modern bathrooms, heaters, and kitchenettes. In addition, the staff is friendly and welcoming, providing excellent service. Guests can enjoy free popcorn, soup every day, and a hot tub to relax after a long day.

This hotel lacks enough showers for guests staying in the main building, so there might be waiting time.

Great location, friendly owner, warm atmosphere, comfy beds, good shower, TV room.

Not one thing.

The hotel's central location was great, as everything in town was within a five-minute walk. The staff provided excellent service and were very helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with all the necessary facilities. The included breakfast was good, with the option to cook your own eggs.

All was great, nothing to complain about.

The accommodation is in a great location, close to everything in town - you can even visit the West Coast Wildlife Centre nearby to see real kiwis. The hostel grounds are right in the centre, making it convenient for all attractions. The rooms are comfortable with mini kitchens, and the staff is welcoming and friendly. The common areas are cozy and a great place to meet other travelers.

Some noise issues were mentioned in the reviews, such as a noisy gas heater and a loud bathroom fan.

Loved the free soup and breakfast here, super convenient as bus service picks up right outside. The compact room had all the essentials: comfy bed, heater, and clean bathrooms.

The communal kitchen was too crowded, with no serving staff to help. The lack of privacy was unpleasant as there was no space to store luggage and the room was visible from the courtyard.
