    our romantic stay in franz josef was made even better by glow worm accommodation. the private room was comfortable and the free breakfast and evening soup were a delightful addition. the friendly staff made us feel at home and the location was perfect for exploring the town and nearby walks.

    Parking was a hassle.

    The motel unit we stayed in during Xmas was fairly spacious and clean. It had basic kitchen essentials like a hot plate and kettle, which allowed us to prepare our own meals. The location was ideal, with restaurants, shops, and attractions all within easy reach. One great advantage was the friendly and helpful staff who made our stay more enjoyable.

    The Wi-Fi signal was extremely weak and could only be accessed near the reception area. This was quite frustrating as we relied on internet connectivity during our trip.

    Check-in was quick with friendly staff. Hotel facilities include a shared kitchen, BBQ, and hot pool. Parking is free and transportation is accessible. Location is close to shops and restaurants in town. Breakfast provided with cereal, toast, and milk. The staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable.

    Nothing to complain about at all.

    The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with any questions or requests. The kitchen was well-maintained and clean, making meal preparation a breeze. The location was conveniently close to various restaurants and pickup points for activities, adding to the overall convenience of the stay.

    The lack of fans in the room made it quite hot, forcing us to keep the windows open at night, which resulted in some noise disturbances. the shower was on the smaller side, requiring extra care to prevent water from spilling into the rest of the bathroom.

    This hotel is a real value for money with its affordable prices. The location in the center of Franz Josef village is great as everything is within a five-minute walk. The staff is attentive and the basic amenities are provided, including rooms with a private toilet. The bonus of a free breakfast, with even some free eggs for self-cooking, makes it even better.

    All in all, everything was just fine.

    The free soup and breakfast were a great touch. The communal kitchen was well-equipped and I met some lovely people while cooking. The location was perfect for exploring the surrounding area and I even got to see glow worms thanks to the helpful receptionist. Overall I recommend this hostel.

    This hotel's location is perfect - located in the heart of the town, everything is easily accessible by foot. the private rooms are small but cozy, and they come with all the basic amenities like a TV and fridge. Guests can enjoy a delicious breakfast of cereal and toast before heading out for the day. the view from the window is really stunning, and you can see the surrounding mountains clearly.

    The hotel bathrooms are slightly cramped, but this shouldn't be a dealbreaker.

    Had a decent Christmas stay at a budget accommodation. Location was prime, close to town for convenience. the room had a nice view and the bed was comfortable. the hot shower in the communal bathroom was refreshing.

    The wifi was spotty and slow, making it difficult to plan activities. the shared kitchen was overcrowded and dirty with limited utensils.

    Awesome stay!

    We had a great time here! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The common kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals and the free coffee and tea were a nice touch. The location was perfect for exploring the nearby sights and attractions. We also loved the hot tub and free breakfast.

    Although we enjoyed our stay overall, there were a few negatives. Our room had a strange smell and was a bit damp, which made it uncomfortable to stay in for extended periods of time.
