Cozy place”

We arrived late and check out very early in the morning and didn’t have the chance to meet the staff but everything was going smoothly and it was indeed a very enjoyable stay. A very cozy and warm room for winter night.

Exceptional”

Stayed for 2 nights. The room was absolutely comfortable and love the kitchenette provided, we were able to whip out a lovely late dinner on the night we reached. Would love to come back to stay if we were to be back to Franz Josef.

Great stay but strange smell”

It was a great motel with big space in the room. Most of the facilities we needed were available for us. Centrally localised and close to restaurants and supermarkets. The only thing was that the room had this very strong smell that we could not take it. We stayed here for 2 nights and the smell persisted even though we kept the windows open for ventilation. We have a few insect bites as well, but we can't confirm if it was from the bed or it was from mossies/sandflies. Other than that, the stay was great. We got upgraded to the king's room when the staff found out that we were on our honeymoon :)

Great Location”

Spacious room

Exceptional”

Pros were size of room, cleanliness, quality of bed/linens/etc. All very good. Only con would be the shower not being sealed properly, plus shower curtain, but very minor preference/ personal viewpoint. Definitely recommended place to stay!!

Last minute deal, neat tidy rooms, very central”

Managed to book only a few weeks out when everything else was booked out, perhaps I scored a last minute cancellaton but the price was still reasonable. The check in was easy enough, although they had run out of milk (love that you get fresh milk, not UHT) and said they would bring later. The milk never arrived so had to go get it in the morning which was a bit annoying. Rooms were nicely maintained and had everything you need for a short stay. You cant really keep you blind/curtain open as its all glass and people are walking past to other rooms. Felt it was good value for the glacier area and would stay again.

Value dollar motel”

Location was good as it was situated near the town center. Friendly staff and clean rooms. However, facilities were quite dated and tv channels were limited. Overall still a good choice for the budget friendly traveler.

Clean, tidy and worth a stay! ”

Having been told that Franz-Joseph was a tourist trap I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It wasn’t cheap but then it was the same price as hokitika and nicer. Clean. Only draw back is lighting. No bright ceiling lights only reading lights really. I dropped a star off service purely as there was no one to greet us and only saw staff the next day, in saying that didn’t need to as they left key in the door and a note to this effect on the window. Good thing I don’t mind my name on display.

Large room with ample facilities”

A nice and clean place. However, there was always some kind of smell coming from the kitchen sink. Wonder what was that. Other than that, everything in the room look new, clean and cosy. Heater provides the warmth we need on the rainy days we were there. Awesome! Staff at the reception were nice and friendly too.

Great Motel with nice people”

Room are clean & we got free upgrade with a bottle of milk. Staff are friendly & provide helpful info for this little town.

Easily accessible”

Easily accessible and quiet at night.

Great place to stay in Fox”

Good value motel. Big spacious rooms with good cooking facilities. Walking distance to supermarket and famous hot springs. Would recommend.

very near to main street”

very cozy and clean room. close to everything. highly recommended.

Great Place to stay in Franz Josef area”

Stayed here 1 night for holiday. Greeted by a the host/reception and he was very kind, detail and thorough in explaining everything about Franz Josef. The hotel is behind a Mobil petrol station, and walking distance to anywhere in Franz Josef. The room is spacious, clean, and equipped with cooking utensil, dishes and everything you need for a good night stay. Good value for money in the middle of Franz Josef area. Nothing to complain, keep up the good work!

Everything looks and feels new”

We had booked a King Family Studio and a Queen Studio, and on arrival the reception upgraded us to two King Family Studios so we could be right next to each other. That was really kind. The rooms looked and felt new from the bathroom to the kettle and everything in the kitchenette. And the heaters in the rooms were great too, in winter. The location of this hotel can't be better - walkable to the grocery store and eating places . We had a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend the place.

A great motel”

We had a great stay in here,very close to supermarket, gas station is just beside the motel, this is absolutely a highly recommended motel, restaurant and cafe just 3 minutes walking, and we got a bottle of milk for free, i like it , 9 out of 10 :))

Fabulous Newly renovated(?) motel”

Checking in was a breeze. Motel is well-located in Franz Josef. The King Family Studios that we had were very new and clean, from the bathroom fittings to the little kitchenette, beds and beddings. Very good value for money. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone passing by Franz Josef

Exceptional”

clean with complete kitchen, would like to stay here again. the bad side is due to the rainy day, we are not able to enjoy a cup of wine at the beautiful balcony facing magnificent view. would like to come back again

Very good Motel at Franz Josef”

The Motel was very cozy & spacious and the amenities were great. It’s located near everywhere in town and you could get a view of the peaks from the balcony or outside your room. Overall the Motel was above average, it could be excellent if only the bed was not so soft and the bathroom did not have that slight sewer smell. I would still recommend this Motel to anyone visiting Franz Josef!

near airport”

located 5 mins drive from airport, you can see the runway from the motel. Complimentary shuttle provided for pickup from airport. Checkin was quick and hassle free. Our two-room apartment was clean though not very big it was able to fit 3 adults and 1 child with 4 big luggages. There is 'The warehouse' nearby to buy food supplies. No aircon so it might get stuffy and hot during summer. We came during Autumn so it was cool during the nights.
