All aspects from making a booking, to arranging activities, to recommending places to visit to checking out were handled perfectly. This is a must stay in Franz Josef. Period.

Larry United States of America

Katarina Slovakia

Ella United States of America

Good location plenty of good restaurants and bars near by.

Stephen United Kingdom

It was bright and airy, very clean. Staff was friendly and warm.

Valerie Canada

Good location. Most motels in Franz Josef are on the same street as the village was very small. We arrived late after the glacier tour and was past check in time, but staff kindly pasted an envelop with my keys on the reception door. Room was very clean and warm with the heaters and shower was great. Comfortable beds. Breakfast was basic, toast and cereals but coffee was good.

Tianjiao Singapore

The staff at the check-in desk was very helpful and kind. It is nice of this hostel to offer vegetable broth soup every evening and a simple breakfast in the morning. There is a big common area and one night the guests watched a LOTR movie - nice, relaxed atmosphere. Close to the town and it's totally walkable to visit the glacier.

K United States of America

The staff was extremely helpful and polite. It offered more than what we have expected for the price. The free soup was a nice touch. It is an old place but quiet and accomodating.

Nadine Philippines

Good price with clean room and really great location.
