"The hotel is located a few minutes walk from the bus station. The rooms are fully equipped and clean. Although the hotel name is a motel, it is actually very comfortable and convenient for non-self-driving travelers. The hotel owner is very friendly and sincere, and is a reasonable young man. We couldn't choose the shift because there was a morning bus arriving on the same day, and it was raining, and we urgently needed to check in early. The hotel occupancy rate was full. We also understood that the hotel was difficult, but the hotel still arranged to clean a room in advance for us to stay. The two waitresses are also very kind, kind and welcoming, and easy to communicate. In short, I choose this hotel to feel at home and recommend this hotel."

"A beautiful area just outside of Franz Josef. It's nearby the road, so you may get some traffic noise. Other than that, it was a quiet and restful night there. We could see the milky way at night!
We had a studio, so no kitchen but a microwave was available. There's a laundry as well. Wifi was good.
The manager was very friendly and allowed us to fill out campervan with water."

"In the small town of Franz Josef, the price is very good.
New Zealand hotel prices are generally higher after the epidemic, but this one is really cheap in the town.
It was assigned to the rainforest room, and there was forest outside the window."

Amazing
TTomtanchThe hotel seems new and all the rooms were very clean. There was also a nice little kitchen and a spa bath tub, which we did not find the time to use. Special mention to the kind lady at the reception who was very helpful and informative. Thanks!
We drove to visit the Fox Glacier Walk and the Lake Matheson Trail, which was about half an hour drive away. There were supermarkets nearby in case one planned to cook or dine in at the restaurants.
EErika2356Be sure to stay in the Deluxe Forest Suite. The privacy is as high as being surrounded by the forest.
The room configuration is 10 points clean, and the overall feeling is comfortable. 10 points suitable for couples and families
蒋蒋小帽Hotel facilities are very good, the room is very large, you can cook, but the rules are more demanding, even the green mouth can not be cooked, there is a need to cook a careful look at the instructions in the room oh ~ room facilities are complete, clean, bathroom wet Separated, the bath water is great. On the night of the day we stayed, the boss specially posted a note to us at the reception. The heating in the room was already open, and it was very heart-warming. The hotel is just opposite the Glacier reservation hall and is just a minute's walk away. The location is very convenient. Very worthy of recommendation.
AAnonymous UserEverything is good except for the shower. It doesn't work at all. The water flows like a foam. I can't wash my hair. Other than that, it's good. There's a kitchen as well. Close to the helicopter that will take you up. Very good.
GGuest UserA very good hotel. The concierge will provide free valet parking. The front desk staff are also friendly and enthusiastic. They will answer and satisfy all questions. The dinner is 5 courses and the service is also very good. I am very satisfied. I will stay here next time when I go to the west coast. Will choose.
HHuiyaorendetuzi- -Overall it was a particularly good choice near the fox glacier, and all the rooms were fully booked on the day. The cabin is equipped with the kitchen utensils needed, but there is no dishwasher. The only fly in the ointment is that there is a bathroom, which is used in line, but overall it is the best choice.
GGuest UserA bit far from the central of town . But if you have vehicles. Forget this . Reception is a bit hidden.
We been there cold seasons, planning to go Josph glacier. But due to bad weather conditions we left early than we planned . No comment for the service s. Bcos they don’t have services .
AAnonymous UserA good choice as a stop after a day's drive up north along the west coast highway and after a walk around Lake Matheson at the dusk. The motel is easy to locate. Kitchen is well-layout and it will be super if there is an electric stove and pots. The bathroom will be more use-friendly if some hooks are installed on the wall for towels and clothings.
劉劉The law-abiding backpacker hotel, we stayed for two days, the two-person room did not have a separate bathroom, but was assigned to a house, just no other guests, we will have that one. The saloon can also ~ the kitchen also provides basic pots and pans, etc. ~ Advantages, there is a complimentary breakfast, and there is a hot soup in the evening, although they are all the same thing! And parking is convenient! Disadvantages, I don't know if we are on the side or not, I can't even get wifi, I just ran to the saloon, and there was a bit of noise when it rained, because the roof of the corridor is iron, but the room is not, barely Not too noisy.
