Sir Cedric's Fox Glacier Pod Hostel & Inn Reviews

Sir Cedric's Fox Glacier Pod Hostel & Inn is recommended for a one-night stay for solo travelers, as it is easily found, provides enough amenities, and is close to food/drink and petrol stations.

The Location

Fox Glacier is quite a small town in itself, which means that the hostel is very well located in terms of facilities. The hostel shares its location with a pub/restaurant, which is quite accommodating if visitors are looking for somewhere to eat or drink. There are several other pubs and places to eat nearby and also a service station/fuel station. There is parking available outside the hostel and on the streets nearby. The hostel is easy to find and located not far from the main highway -- although noise is not an issue.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The dorm rooms are located off a main corridor and at the rear of the building (next to the restaurant/pub). There is one key for the main dorm room and several dorms off the main corridor. Within the room there are five beds, two bunks, and one single bed. These beds have curtains, linen/pillow, small shelf, personal light, and charging point (USB and plug).

There are several bathrooms, some of which are shared with the general public (people from the restaurant/bar). There is a main bathroom for females and a main bathroom for males. The female bathroom contains basins and mirrors, showers, and toilets. The bathrooms are relatively clean, have hot water, and are quite spacious. Within the shower cubicles, there is enough space to store your things and enough room for drying and changing. The cubicles have doors and within the cubicle the shower has a curtain. There is a small shelf in the shower cubicle and one hook on the back of the door.

Common Spaces

The hostel has a common kitchen with dining space and a common area for visitors to hang out and mingle. The kitchen is quite dilapidated and messy. There are sufficient utensils, plates, and pots for cooking. There is a fridge, sink, stove, oven, and microwave. Kettle and toaster are supplied also. The hostel does not give a very social vibe, but being connected to the restaurant and bar helps. This hostel is not a party hostel and there are limited areas for visitors to meet other backpackers.

Summary

More than one night's stay at this hostel is not recommended, as it is quite hostile and does not facilitate a social environment.
