what a disapointment! the outdated furnishings felt like stepping into the past, and the non-functional tv remote was simply unforgivable. to top it all, i expected a complimentary treat for such an inconvenience, but no luck! nearly gave a good review, until i remembered how empty my mini fridge was. avoid if you can!

The spacious room provided ample space to relax.
Unfortunately, my stay was quite disappointing. The property looked derelict with overgrown gardens, creating an uninviting first impression. The facilities were lacking. there was no housekeeping, and I had difficulties with the heating. The TV remote didn’t work, and the limited office hours made it hard to get assistance.

The Double Studio had a comfy bed and a freshly renovated bathroom! The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to whip up tasty meals after exploring the local culinary gems.
However, the communication was a bit dodgy. Advertised wi-fi was non-existent, and I had to chase down a working TV remote taped together to get it to function. Plus, with only hand wash provided instead of the expected toiletries, I felt a bit let down for over $200 a night.

clean and comfortable but dated decor
The room had a comfortable bed which made for a restful night. I appreciated the kitchenette that included a hot plate, which allowed for easy meal preparation. The parking right outside my door was a convenient feature for quick access. The mountain view from my studio was breathtaking, adding to the overall ambiance of my stay.
The decor feels a bit outdated, which may not appeal to some guests.

The motel provided easy check-in and a clean kitchen area that made meal prep a breeze. Conveniently situated just a short drive from the glacier and hot baths, the place feels a bit dated but served its purpose well. Just a heads up on the thin walls, which allowed for more noise than expected.

This place is a suitable option for a city break in Franz Josef with great value. The kitchen had all the basics we needed to prepare meals easily. If you're looking for some peace and quiet, bring earplugs for the late-night noise outside.

The room offered great views of the glacier and mountain landscape, which were breathtaking. Clean and spacious, it provided a good base for exploring the area. However, the remote control was frustratingly unresponsive and the Wi-Fi service was lacking, making it difficult to stay connected. Additionally, the heating system did not seem sufficient for the chilly nights.
