We stayed for one night Feb 2025 mainly to visit the Franz Josef glacier. Room was comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities. Parking was easy. Restaurants, coffee shops and supermarket within walking distance but the village itself it quite small.

Great location

Great location but a few things need improving including the $6 room service fee and also the single bed in the room had a folded over mattress protector which made it much higher on one side and uncomfortable. Two of my group also had the same so this needs changing in all the rooms with a double and single bed!
