"Basic and cheap accommodation in Franz Josef"

7.0

Basic accomodation in a quite old motel, but the room was really warm. Shared toilet and shower. Kitchen available, quite old but functional with free rice, pasta, oats, coffee, tea and sugar.

The room had a little moist smell. The common kitchen/dining room was quite cold

"Idéal pour explorer les glaciers"

9.0

L’auberge est idéalement placée, il est très facile de se garer, la chambre était spacieuse et bien agencée. La cuisine commune est très grande et bien équipée, avec sa salle de repos. Un très bon point de chute !

Pas assez de douches, l’eau chaude n’est pas très chaude.
