Double check the tv remote is working for all rooms before guests arrive , but no problem! We turned it on at the tv instead. Wasn’t a big deal but will help with convenience for future guests :)

This was probably our favorite place to stay in New Zealand. It's out of town so you definitely need a car, but the rooms are HUGE and modern and comfortable and immaculate. Unbelievably quiet at night. Breakfast was fantastic, fresh and delicious with a nice variety. The person who managed check-in was friendly and helpful. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Far and away my favorite place I stayed in New Zealand. We arrived after check-in, but they were super accommodating and kind when we called. The rooms were so spacious and nice, I wish we stayed longer. Exactly the place you want to land if you have spent a long day traveling. The breakfast was also delicious, and the folks working there were very kind and helpful when we had questions about the area.

At first l thought this going to be bad , but the check in was flawless. The room was extremely nice. Sitting outside watching the sunset and clouds flowing through the mountains was so refreshing. The stars were incredible. Finally the breakfast granola choices were excellent. Ate twice. 5star

This is a very comfortable motel style hotel with spacious, clean, modern rooms and a limited breakfast included in the room price. It is outside Franz Josef itself so as there is no restaurant a drive into the resort town itself is required for dining. Some rooms have great views of the mountains (sadly ours wasn’t one of them!)

Yes, I would return!! You will need a car as a few minutes outside of town but worth the drive. In my case, enjoy the two staff members (German) as they provide superior customer service. They do provide a decent breakfast of boiled eggs, cheese, meat, cereal, fruit, yogurt and coffee!!! Found the rooms large for the area, nice bathroom, and great bed. I had a great stay

Our room was gorgeous with incredible views, lovely toiletries, a really comfy bed and was cleaned and replenished daily. The fire made it really cosy in the evening and having a laundry was fab. Francesca was a super star. Breakfast was good and plentiful. Would strongly recommend.

A very quiet and comfortable place to stay. The room was large, with comfortable bed and plenty of sitting options. Nice view from the window and glass patio style doors. The bathroom was clean and properly stocked with toiletries. Breakfast was adequate. Just one request: if they could start the breakfast earlier than 8AM.

Up market hotel on outskirts of town set in its own grounds. Rooms spacious and clean. Limited staff mean that front desk only open for a limited time. Breakfast options ok but not extensive.

Room is spacious and new. The only problem is that with large windows on two sides, it almost like a fish bowl with no privacy. breakfast is great but only for 1 hour.

4/10 Poor

Teresita

The staff was super nice and the breakfast was good. The room is very basic. We were told that only 4 rooms have AC. Our room did not have AC. It was hot and had mosquitoes bothering us all night. If you opened the window, more mosquitoes would come in since they have no screens. They had a small table fan in the room but we started sneezing after turning it on. We got very little sleep and checked out after one night.

Disappointing. The value was lacking. No A/C, which is fine in a cool climate, but no windows, or screen door to provide ventilation. The "jetted tub" was pointless, as if from the 90's. There was no visible staff, aside from the ad who checked me in, and the others providing the continental breakfast. I could smell the sewage in the bathroom. The TV was programmed to be quiet. The wifi was deplorable. At least the king twin conversion was comfortable. The only saving grace. I would never stay here again.

A mixed bag

A mixed bag! The good - charming and helpful manager, large room, modern fit out. The bad - no ventilation so room was stuffy, some rooms have nice views towards the hills but ours looked over the car park with no privacy, wifi very slow and TV initially not working, some km from town and on-site restaurant very limited. Not a cheap stay and to us, not worth the price

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very disappointed. Room smelled moldy and aggravated my allergies.. but no Kleenex available. Food crumbs on chairs and floor. Counter had food smears and fridge was flooded because it was turned down to lowest setting and had defrosted all over inside..bag of defrosted food in freezer compartment that I had to clean out before using it. Drawer that held coffee and biscuits had flies flying out of it when I opened it, so we didn’t use any of it. Bathtub needed a good scrubbing..but I didn’t get the mold ring off..Even hand soap container had visible dirt on it. All in all, embarrassing terrible.
