Very friendly staff - helped me check in seamlessly and arranged for me to get dinner before the on-site restaurant closed. Great spot in Franz Josef. Room was nice. Only stayed 1 night as part of a 2 day tour.

Booked based on photos of hotel with chilled bar area. Very surprised to find they do not open the bar area outside of restaurant hours. At 8.45 pm wanting a nightcap they told us to go to a local bar. May as well have stayed in one of the local motels or airbnb. Basically an expensive motel with a restaurant.

6/10 Good

For me, the amenities and cleanliness are about a basic 3-star level. The carpet had damp spots and wasn’t vacuumed thoroughly, and the comforter had some yellow stains. I’d recommend checking your room before settling in. On the positive side, the hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

2/10 Poor

Unbelievably outdated rooms with a strong mildew smell. Bathroom was close to that of an outhouse with shower that was barely usable. I cannot recommend staying somewhere else in the area more.
