Franz Josef Hotels with Wi-Fi

The room is new and clean, with complete facilities. The location is also very good and the price is very reasonable. Overall, it is a very good hotel.

Very good motel, easy to get in and out, clean and comfortable, and a simple kitchen! The town is not big, but the room is big enough. Shopping and seeing the glacier are very convenient, praise! Facilities: Good Hygiene: good Environment: Good Service: Good

Perfect location for accessing the glaciers and surrounding area. Immaculate lodges with everything that might be needed, I wish we had longer to stay there. Can’t fault a thing!

We had booked for 2 nights and left after the first night. The washing machine located on the premises and advised to be used by the staff destroyed approximately $600 of laundry that was washed. The blaze, indifferent and eye rolling response from the ‘owner’ was frustrating and unhelpful. After being fobbed off to deal with someone called Logan, his unprofessional business manner and redirection of blame to me was flabbergasting and amazing. After reading Tripadvisor reviews, there is a clear connection with Logan being a previous owner or manager of the motel and now has a strange connection with the faulty laundry that is everyone else’s fault but his. As our stay continued there were more issues to arise. The room was stifling hot. I appreciate that NZ motels are not use to this warm weather and therefore to not have air conditioning but to not include a fan is terrible. We struggled to sleep the first night as we could not get a breeze in the room. Our room backed directly onto the Alice May restaurant which created loud operation noise, cooking smells and light from the restaurant. The bed was far from comfortable. Even though the bed is a King bed capable of becoming 2 singles, there should be a mattress topper on the bed to alleviate the ridge down the middle and the fact the beds are hard and probably old. The linen smelt of oil or cooking fats, I can only assume this is because of the location of the restaurant or the fact the motels washes and dries the towels in full public view in the car park exposed to air from the restaurant. The Terrace was the 6th hotel we had stayed in during our time in NZ. The bathroom amenities they provided are exactly the same brand that some others have provided…the only difference, this motel has obviously watered down the amenities. They were watery and ineffective. Much like the amenities, the shower head in the room was ineffective and pathetic. Cleary during their recent ‘refurb’ these new shower heads had been installed. Unfortunately, ours sprayed every direction but where is should and if you had it turned down too low there was no water but have it too high and it would sting you. The next morning, we decided we could not stay an extra night at the property and checked into another motel for the night. There are plenty of other and no doubt better options in Franz Joseph.

We stayed for 2 nights and had a lovely stay. The hostel was super clean, cosy with a fireplace lit every night for the cold weather and super friendly staff. It is a great location and Georgie was incredible, going above and beyond to help us! So helpful and friendly! I highly recommend!

Bella Vista Motel met all expectations including toaster & microwave in room. Our room No 15 was upstairs and in a good location. Check in was easy with friendly staff. Everything was neat and clean.

Fabulous views from room and amazing location . Very helpful staff and superb amenities as well . Left my book and reading glasses behind , contacted hotel via Facebook and they immediately responded and posted same back to me ! Highly recommended and Will definitely choose to stay here again ..

Lovely motel cottage up the back of town, only a short distance to town and many local walks. The staff could not have been more helpful and provided a town map on arrival with recommendations for restaurants and walks. The room itself was a good size with a small kitchenette and functional bathroom with good water pressure. The little balcony out the front provided a good spot to have lunch or read a book when it wasn't raining, with views over the surrounding mountains. Parking spaces were allocated for all cottages. This was the perfect place to base ourselves for 3 nights while we explored Franz Josef and Fox Glacier.

The hotel is located on the edge of FRANZE GLACIER. It is very convenient to go to the trail the next day to see the glacier. It is very convenient, motel, suite, with kitchen, it feels great!

Good conditions and can be trusted
