Perfect location, close to everything and within walking distance. Very tidy and clean room, had everything we needed for the night. Great stay and would recommend to others to stay here.

"Gutes + ruhiges Motel am Franz-Josef Gletscher"

8.0

Das Hotel liegt sehr ruhig abseits der Strasse. Parkplatz vor der Tür. Schlüssel holt man sich bei Rezeption ab. - Grosses Zimmer und Bad. Kleine Küchenzeile, wir nutzten aber den Wasserkocher für Tee. Gute Betten, nicht zu hart und nicht zu weich. Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt.

Alles ok (nur der Gletscher war nicht zu sehen, aber dafür kann das Motel nichts!!)

The individual log cabins are one of a kind and have been updated. The location near along the West Coast and the trails is perfect. I hope to return.

"EXCEPTIONAL HOTEL AND LOCATION!"

10.0

We stayed at the "ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT WITH KITCHEN AND SPA BATH," which is very large and comfortable, with a pleasant living room, a small kitchen, and a table with chairs. It has all the necessary comforts for both summer and winter. The service is simple but friendly. It is very well located, just one block from the main street, where you'll find several bars, restaurants, and tourist agencies. This location makes it very quiet, which is great for a peaceful night.

Nothing.
