Room very attractive, neat and well put together
5.0 / 5.0
Lovely little cottages, very clean and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Perfect location for seeing and hiking to the glacier, with lots of cafes and restaurants.
4.0 / 5.0
Comfortable, basic accommodation that was close to restaurants, shops and walks. Rudimentary kitchen facilities that were adequate for breakfast preparation. The receptionist recommended Blue ice and Alice May restaurants both of which were great

Modern, clean room. Close to shops and activities

location is decent, walkable to most places in the town.
parking was quite messy, we were allotted a room in the corner of the property with literarily no view. our windows faced either walls or the other rooms, the outside patio was also very cramped and without any views.
When we requested for any other room, they said this is the only room they give for booking.com.

Comfy beds, nice heating, good location!

It is not their fault to give me a poor room. The rate your company give to me is for a room for handicapped persons. I had to pay another $27 for a room at the Terrace motel which is also managing 10 cottages.This is the 2nd time it happened to me during this trip tp NZ where I booked all my accommodations through booking.com. On 14 aug in Christchurch at the Colonial lodge it was also a room for the handicapped.
As explained above. Booking .com.should highlight the rate if it is for a handicap room

I stayed at Franz Joseph for two nights. The location of this place is very convenient. The cottage room is big and tidy! The staff is very kind and helpful as well, giving me a lot of tour advice patiently.
The only thing I felt a bit unsatisfied was the internet coverage. It's not stable and strong, and a lot of time not working well.

Very comfortable and walking distance to the main town
4.5 / 5.0
Very clean, good bed, great shower and wifi and quiet. Mine host could not be more helpful.
Nothing to do with the motel, but don't waste your money on the restaurant next door, Alice May. Had terrible meals, never again.

Awesome location with beautiful mountain views
3.5 / 5.0
close to town and restaurant. perfect view of snow capped mountains.
we stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage, shower tap was either scalding hot or cold. Fire heater coming off the wall could be a major hazard.
5.0 / 5.0
Kea and more Kea to be seen just around here every morning. It was also very quiet at night and spacious as well. I loved the electric blanket and the closeness to town (can walk everywhere).
The parking space was a bit tight to load and unload but nothing that a move of the car did not fix so not really a bad thing.
5.0 / 5.0
The cottage was warm and cosy, the beds comfortable and it was a delight to see the Keas outside of a morning. Of our trip so far this has been our favourite stay
5.0 / 5.0
great location and close to all the shops and sights
nothing really - no criticism but …. maybe a larger bowl to use in the microwave would be handy
4.5 / 5.0
