A little more expensive but worth it Fantastic host, very friendly and gave us great suggestions of where to go and where to eat. Accomodation slightly out of town but peaceful. Huge bedroom. Breakfast was delicious. Only thing i think could be improved was the tv only had 4 channels and two of those were sport but there were dvds (although very old titles) that could be borrowed from the lounge. Would definitely stay here again.

This rundown property was being managed by just 1 member of staff. She worked relentlessly but obviously the level of service suffered. We booked the grand lodge with mountain view at £250 per night snd really regretted it. There was mo mountain view! The room was dusty, dirty, fusty and generally tired. The Tv didn’t offer any channels other than the dvd! The hotel reception wasn’t manned. The rooms were only serviced on demand and the hotel promised to make a £2.50 donation to charity if you didn’t have your bed made up, this says something about the cleaners hourly rate! Breakfast had to be ordered by 9pm the previous evening , stating exactly how many rashers of bacon, sausages and hash browns you forecast you might need! Dirty breakfast dishes had to be cleared by the guests and placed in a plastic crate in the dining room. We did move to a standard room , with a view of the mountain, which was a much brighter room in the new block. Overall, would definitely not recommend or return! There are many other better places to stay in Franz Josef. Despite the really hard work of the one member of staff, the place felt more like a hostel than a £250 per night hotel. I really don’t like writing bad reviews but in this instance it feels very necessary.

We booked the Grand Suite with mountain view and regretted it. The view was foliage and a garden! The room was dark, tired and smelly! We downgraded to a mountain view standard room which did have a mountain view! Obviously no refund! The hotel was being run by one member of staff who worked incredibly hard but this clearly meant a lower level of service. Breakfast was only served from 8-9am and had be to ordered the previous evening. Dirty breakfast dishes had to cleared by guests and placed in a plastic crate like a hostel! The rooms were only serviced on request with a £2.50 donation to local charity if you didnt have the room made up! Overall very poor and definitely not worth anywhere near the £500 we paid for 2 nights! Would never return and would advise you to select any of the other numerous places to stay in Franz Josef!

Quiet, peaceful, comfortable stay. The hotel was very comfortable and clean and very close to the town while providing a quiet respite from the busier touristy area. The manager who greeted us was warm, welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was basic but sufficient.

The perfect place to stay in Franz-Josef! It's far enough away from the heliport that you aren't constantly disturbed by the noise, but still close enough to town that you can easily get to everything important quickly. Audrey was super friendly and pointed out all the best food spots and other helpful locations. The breakfast was perfect for a quick start before the day's adventures and the room was very spacious and comfortable.

Amazing and beautiful accommodation. It was a rainy day when we arrived. Audrey, made sure that our stay was a comfortable one. We played snooker/pool and lazed by the fireplace while enjoying our dinner which was delivered from a nearby restaurant in the town centre (2 mins drive). We stayed in the main cabin and our room was surprisingly huge! Will certainly stay here again when we are in the FJ area.
