This is basically a motel. The “design concept” just means spare and basic. No common space. Construction. Our rate included breakfast which turned out to be a cold cafeteria tray brought to the room. It snowed, as expected in winter, and there was no snow clearing service at all. The staff literally tried clearing snow with a flattened box and a water jug. I would not advise staying here.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Unique and Memorable Stay

Galaxy Hotel is a truly unique and charming boutique property. The hotel is petite, cozy, and beautifully designed, creating a very special atmosphere. What made the stay unforgettable was the incredible roof window above the room. Being able to lie in bed and look directly at the night sky was magical.

Lake Tekapo is famous for its dark skies, and the rooftop window gave me a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the stars from the comfort of my room. The experience felt peaceful, intimate, and unlike any other hotel stay I’ve had. If you’re looking for something special and want to experience the beauty of the night sky, I highly recommend Galaxy Hotel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

An early morning lake view changes the entire feel of a stay. The scenery from our room was absolutely incredible. Plus, the staff here are young, energetic, and genuinely friendly. We didn't get a chance to eat the included breakfast, though. We had to rush straight out the door for our activity at Mt. Cook.

From the moment we walked into reception, we knew this stay was going to be disappointing — the smell hit us immediately.

For the price, this hotel is far from luxury. The photos are extremely misleading and do not reflect the actual condition of the property. It’s also set well back from the lake, with only a couple of rooms getting even a slight glimpse of a view.

The room itself was very underwhelming. The shower was covered in mould and clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned. The bed and furniture were old, worn, and in need of replacement.

We genuinely considered leaving, but as we arrived late, we had no choice but to stay.

Overall, this was a very disappointing experience and not worth the money.

Amazing place - stay here! Well stocked little kitchen and amenities inside are wonderful - robes, slippers, soaps, TV, shower, etc. Very, very comfortable with great views. What made it extra special was the staff - they serve free breakfast to your room in the morning or in their lobby restaurant. Since the times for breakfast service didn't work for us, they personally delivered a full continental breakfast to us the night before so we could put it in the refrigerator and have what we needed in the morning. Highly recommend staying here!

Magical view of the lake and the stars. The room was well appointed with a comfortable bed and a great shower and tub. But, the best part of the day, was sitting in our comfy chairs just looking out at the magnificent view of the lake, then opening the skylight at night to view the stars from our bed-magical. We would highly recommend staying at the Galaxy in Lake Tekapo.

the room was spotless, the staff was courteous
the building is newly built (looks like), built like a motel where the rooms have individual entries; the room/BR design is modern; there is a modern bathtub, the BR fixtures are modern; the bed is comfortable, the pillows fluffy; there is a sun/moon roof with push button controls; there is a fridge, kitchen wares, water bottles in the fridge were free; the room overlooks Lake Tekapo which is a great view in the morning; free breakfast with unlimited but reasonable quantities, room delivery is an option;
Laundry is available upon request with separate charges: this hotel is somewhat pricey and the only one thing that didn't match the price are the towels- they were not fluffy, they felt worn, they don't look \"new\" white, I rate this hotel 4/5

Just like a mini QT Hotel

Fantastic funky boutique hotel in the heart of Wellington just near Cuba St with plenty of cafe/restaurant options. Felt like a mini boutique QT Hotel

The room was fantastic. We liked how we could have seen stars at night through the hole in the roof. However it snowed overnight so we saw nothing. The view from our room was amazing. It included the lake too. Parking was just below. We were on level 2 but it felt like 3 because reception was on level 2. Breakfast in the morning was included too and it was unlimited bread bacon eggs and the usual western fare. The ladies there were very friendly too. It seemed like everyone was heading where we were heading so when others asked her about their route, we just listened in.

A little bit expensive and far away from tepako lake, not many amenities and view is just so so but including free breakfast and staff is nice

The property was superb! Clean and the staff were attentive to our needs. The views of the lake was amazing - especially with the snow! Will definitely book another stay here - hopefully in the summer!

Had a wonderful time at the Galaxy boutique hotel. Staff were incredible and service second to none. We go snowed in and everyone was out helping each other to get their cars out and the hotel kept everyone informed of road closures. Thank you for your hospitality!

Beautiful hotel, great service. We had a very nice and comfortable stay. Staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a nice stay and even brought extra dishes to our room so we could have a cozy meal in our room. Highly recommend this beautiful hotel!

Excellent hotel and well placed in Lake Tekapo. We were greeted by friendly staff who kindly showed us to room.

Our room was located on the upper floor, so came with the skylight which allows you to star gaze. The views from the large window are stunning and is a huge plus when staying here. The beds were comfortable and provided a relaxing night's sleep.

The breakfast is freshly cooked to order, whilst there is also a self-service area with toast, fruit and yoghurt. More than enough choice for my wife and I.

The hotel is located around a 10 minute walk to the main bars/restaurants.

The location and view were amazing. We had a free breakfast delivered to our room every day and the food was fantastic. The star viewing skylight was good, but just keep in mind that you can’t see the stars as well if the moon is full, which it was when we were there. Also, this skylight tended to ice up a bit which affected the view of the stars.

It was well thought out from a guest perspective. Great views including a bedroom skylight with an electronic cover. The plumbing fixtures were top notch, as was the bedding. The free breakfast was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Best night's stay in NZ so far.

the hotel is very well organized and communication is prompt and effective. Room is very comfortable , spacious and the bathroom is clean with separate shower and bathtub. complimentary breakfast is good and with variable choices. you can choose to eat at the lobby breakfast area or deliver to the room. the only comment is that the highlighted sky window for viewing the stars doesn’t serve the purpose. you can hardly see the stars. I would rather to have a patio than this.
