Good location plenty of good restaurants and bars near by.
United KingdomIt was bright and airy, very clean. Staff was friendly and warm.
CanadaGood 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.
SingaporeThe 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.
United States of AmericaThe 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.
PhilippinesGood price with clean room and really great location.
NetherlandsEnjoy our stay. Staff was friendly and professional. The room was clean and comfortable.
