Quiet and cosy ”
Stayed for 4nights in a 4pax female dorm. Shared bathroom are clean and tidy with good hot showers and free hairdryer. Kitchen is pretty spacious with simple free breakfast comprising of bread, jams, butter, cereals and milk. However, utensils may not be enough and available for use when the hostel is full packed with guest. Otherwise, I had a great stay there and staffs are really helpful and nice! :)

The best hostel in my life”
Everything is very close. (since Franz Josef is a very small town.) Reasonable prices. Super clean and tidy room, toilet and shower booth. Not busy, crowded and quiet. Friendly staff. Good facilities including hot spa. 100% recommend this backpacker. Book right now! This is a good chance the God gives to you.

Has everything we needed”
We booked a double with shared bathroom but for upgraded to a double with ensuite! Sweet! Heating was adequate for the room but the bathroom gets super cold. We loved the shared kitchen as it was fully equipped - pans, plates, cutlery, pepper and salt, and hot chocolate! Breakfast was great, bread, cereals and spreads provided, with hot coffee and juice. Enjoyed the stay here for sure. Staff was also helpful. Wish we had had more time to use the laundry facilities :p washing powder is available for NZ$1!

Wonderful”
Wonderful place to stay. We came in winter and was upgraded to twin room with private bathroom. The room is warm and comfortable, with a refrigerator!!! This is the best place we stayed in New Zealand so far.

Very nice lodge and value-for-money”
This is definitely a good place to stay. Value-for-money. We stayed in a double room with private bathroom. The bathroom is quite small but given for the price, we don't complain, esp. we spent double staying in a so-called "hotel" the night before but the location and facility is not that much better than Franz Josef Montrose Hostel Lodge. We regretted that we stayed in another place but not this one the night before.

Good”
Great stay but you will need to carry your luggages up the stairs for private room. You can hear noise when people walk past the room or down the stairs. Great for a stopover though. Clean kitchen and nice breakfast.

The breakfast which was included was a bonus as we have to set off on our travel quite early in the morning. Not a lot of motels offer free breakfast. Definitely Franz Josef Montrose Lodge is highly recommended.

Overall good”
I stayed in the 4 bed female dorm for 2 nights. The first night, I shared it with another German solo traveler. On the second night, I had the room all to myself. So I pretty much stayed in a private room at a dorm price. The room was spacious and clean. Toilets can be cleaner but it wasn’t bad. It’s near pretty much everything since Franz Josef itself isn’t so big. And the staff were all very friendly and accommodative.

If you are after a bed and a simple breakfast the Montrose Hostel lodge is ideal. We requested a room with its own shower. I would stay here again

Reasonably clean hostel”
Friendly staff on arrival. The bathroom were reasonably clean, the staffed cleaned them well but they soon became a mess with water everywhere and hair all over the place - not really fault of the staff. The sheets on the bed were a little stained which was off putting so I slept on top of the duvet. The kitchen has decent space and equipment with fridge & freezer available. Although it states on the wall in your room breakfast is till 10 it actually finishes at 9.30 so be aware of that. Otherwise not a bad place to stay.
