One of our best stay in Southern New Zealand”
The room was nice and cosy and had all that we needed! Great location! Staff was very friendly and helpful too. Walking distance to the town area. Facilities were clean and good. Comfortable bed in the cold weather. Although it was pouring the 2 days we were at Franz Josef, but the stay was worthwhile.

Great motel w balcony in the forest”
My wife and I spent 2 nights here recently. The furnishings were stylish and classical rather than modern. The kitchen was adequate. The bed was comfy and the shower excellent. The Star tho was the balcony which wasn't so much looking over the bush but emerged in it! The Morepork greeted us each night and piwakawaka Bellbirds et al visited on occasion.

Ideal for a stopover”
Enjoyed our stopover, room was retro and spacious with standard facilities for a motel. Ideally located for all the restaurants and bars in the area.

Good location & room size. Only complaint would be that the electric blankets on the bed are very uncomfortable to lie on, hardly had any sleep.

Loved every minute of my stay”
The view of the greenery was a welcome sight. The room was clean and had all the amenities for a home cooked meal. Lots of channels for entertainment. Staff were lovely and helpful. The laundrette was a welcome addition after trekking in the rain to see the glacier. Walking distance to the town too with shops, bars and restaurants. Forget about the other places and book this one - you won’t regret it!

Small Town, everything's next to each other - WiFi sucks”
Since Franz-Joseph just caters to glacier tourists, all facilities are next to each other. There is a living room and and a mezzanine attic which is where the bedroom is, car can be parked right outside your room. One downside though - if you need internet, good luck with that, they pass coupons and its a nightmare to connect and even then the connection will keep dropping.

Great Place.”
Staff on duty was really friendly. She allowed us to check in early (we went for heli-hike tour) and recommended places for food and activities. Facilities were clean and good. We went in the winter so the bed warmer and hot water for shower is really helpful. Parking is available and because FranJo is a small town, it's near and convenient to any place.

It was more spacious that we thought. A two storey villa with 1 single bed at ground level and a double bed upstairs. They have complete TV channels and also kitchen utensils and microwave. Toilet n bathroom were very clean. Only minus was the cleanliness of the blanket and also the chairs' condition at the balcony. Overall a pleasant stay! The hotel has washer and dryer available but need to use coins to pay
