Motel Alpine Glacier Motel

17 Cron Street (corner of Cron and Condon Streets), 7856 Franz Josef, New Zealand –

Lock in a great price for Alpine Glacier Motel – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Located very close to the city center, from where all the local activities originate. Don’t go by the word motel, as the perception of the word,”motel” could be very different. The room was very spacious and extremely clean, comfortable and cozy with all needed amenities including a full kitchenette. Room was very quiet and bed was very comfortable. Front desk staff was very friendly and courteous. Would very highly recommended this motel to anyone visiting Franz Josef.

Sachin, United States of America

Spacious clean room, friendly staff, convenient location

Marina, United States of America

convenient. good parking. clean. the room was large, spacious and there was a good bed.

Bonnie, United States of America

Good size room, hot plate and microwave for cooking and onsite laundry facilities. Great place to stay, very helpful and friendly staff.

Maria, United States of America

Good location, then again, Franz is a small town. Kitchen utensils could use replacement. Loud buzzing fridges made sleeping difficult, and cooking utensils that fall apart when they are not meant to, will challenge any Masterchef to produce a decent fried egg. Otherwise, the beds were comfy and the room heating kept us warm.

Terence, Australia

The location the room was comfortable and clean .

Paul, Israel

The motel is sparkly clean and comfortable. The kitchenette is good enough for 4 of us to cook at there. The location is very strategic, with walking distance can reach the foursquare market, restaurant and also the glacier heli hike service centre.

Minghui, Malaysia

It was kinda okay from the outside, but when you steps inside, it was amazing. We got a hot tub with jacuzzi inside the bathroom (you continue the sentence...) - there's no need to go and pay for the hot pools as you've got your private one ;)

Addy, Malaysia

Quiet little motel. Comfortable little room. Very clean and modern bathroom. Kitchenette had everything we required. Check in staff was amazingly helpful with planning our stay. Close proximity to hot pools. Snake bite pub and Glazier

Mandymarsh, Australia

The host and staffs are friendly. The host shared with us where to find good food and the activities to do in the area. We were also given a free bottle of milk which we took for breakfast. Clean room. The room looks new as well. We enjoy our stay at this motel.

The shower was fairly hopeless - no power in the shower.
Very large and comfortable bed in a large room. Kitchenette and crockery / utensils were spotless too.

We paid more than we normally would for a better motel but it did not live up to expectations. The spa pool was out of action and that was one thing we wanted after a long drive.

A lot of mosquitoes especially at night.
Easily located property with very friendly staff. My family and I arrived late at night and didn’t have the means to call the property about our late arrival but the staff was very accommodating and made sure we had a place to stay. Beautiful views of the mountain.
