"Good Location For A Night If Visiting Glacier"

8.0

Quiet location out of town. Small studio apartments were comfy enough for a couple touring. Included microwave, fridge, couple plates, bowls, cutlery, kettle etc - all great ... but no sink! All staff we met were lovely. Wifi weak during evenings. Being 4km+ out of town and almost no lighting outdoors the night sky was amazing.

"Excellent, but..."

8.0

This place offers first rate accommodations. It is clean and modern and spotless. Nice to be out of town in a quiet area. Just a few little things to note. The Wi-Fi was sktechy and we were near the office. It wouldn't hurt to put one box of facial tissues. The front decks were an issue. The stair heights and depths varied and were of not in construction compliance. One of the steps was not level and my parked car stopped my fall. I doubt seriously the decks were inspected and approved. If you have any handicapped accessibility issues this is not the place for you.

"Budget cabin 5km out of town "

6.0

The cabins are budget cabins. For the price I would say they are ok. About 5km outside of town (not walking distance). Ideal for families. Cabin is basic with a small bathroom, small couch and small tv.

Comfortable stay but the guidance against cooking spicy foods seems disrespectful against certain cultures - don’t really see the need to restrict what people eat/cook

The place was very good, clean and comfortable. The only thing I found odd was that there was no kitchen sink. Very hard to wash crockery and cutlery in the small bathroom sink.

"Perfect accommodation in paradise"

10.0

Fantastic clean, comfortable, quiet, spacious accommodation just out of Franz Josef township. Close to everything and in a beautiful setting. Unit had everything we needed for our family or five and was a really lovely comfortable place to stay. Would definitively recommend Jag Escape Franz Alpine Retreat.
