Great location. Very roomy.
Perfect location, close to everything and within walking distance. Very tidy and clean room, had everything we needed for the night. Great stay and would recommend to others to stay here.
There was nothing we were unhappy with. Great place to stay and we were very cosy, warm and clean.
Das Hotel liegt sehr ruhig abseits der Strasse. Parkplatz vor der Tür. Schlüssel holt man sich bei Rezeption ab. - Grosses Zimmer und Bad. Kleine Küchenzeile, wir nutzten aber den Wasserkocher für Tee. Gute Betten, nicht zu hart und nicht zu weich. Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt.
Alles ok (nur der Gletscher war nicht zu sehen, aber dafür kann das Motel nichts!!)
Location
I think the room was a bit tired, and not very inviting
Perfect location, great staff, beautiful room
The individual log cabins are one of a kind and have been updated. The location near along the West Coast and the trails is perfect. I hope to return.
Nothing
We stayed at the "ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT WITH KITCHEN AND SPA BATH," which is very large and comfortable, with a pleasant living room, a small kitchen, and a table with chairs. It has all the necessary comforts for both summer and winter. The service is simple but friendly. It is very well located, just one block from the main street, where you'll find several bars, restaurants, and tourist agencies. This location makes it very quiet, which is great for a peaceful night.
Nothing.
Good sized room and clean and walking distance to everything
Not to dislike
Room filthy, staff unhelpful, internet and wifi not working, TV remote functions missing.
Good location, clean and comfortable
Bathroom was a little cold
Perfect location

Le calme et l'emplacement

Location was great, the staff were very friendly and helpfull and the 2 bedroom unit was fantastic!!
Nice apartment in excellent location.
I expected a sofa bed for third person in lounge and in fact there were three beds in the bedroom. This didn't work well for our party. Perhaps I misread details before booking???
Very warm and friendly welcome at reception. Location is fantastic. Quiet at night. Nice bathroom.
The electric blanket could really be felt under the sheet, bit uncomfortable.
Excellent location and the room was very comfortable. Really enjoyed drinking a cup of tea and admiring the view of the glacier!
Great location. Perfect overnight stay. Room was clean and spacious and the beds were so comfortable!!! Had the best nights sleep. Cannot fault The Terrace.
Nothing, it was perfect
Very quiet and comfortable
I did not dislike anything. Great place
Roomy and very comfortable
Could do with an undercover BBQ area
Location great. Bathroom modern.
We were in apartment 19 for two nights and we discovered that apartments 18, 19 and 20 back onto a caravan park toilet and laundry so could be noisy at times.
Lovely helpful staff. Great location
Great location, but the bed was terrible we could feel the springs.
Location, excellent facilities
There was nothing to dislike
Close to every thing and it was clean.
A bit small for 3 people. Lots of people cutting through from the vanpark in front of our room.
Great location and sitoutterie
Pricey
Great room, nice decor, convenient, very central location, well equipped room
Die Betten waren etwas weich
Die Dusche war schön groß
Our unit had a great view
Laundry was quite a distance
Great location, walking distance to restaurants and attractions
Spacious room albeit a little dated. Close to the town centre with free onsite parking.
Not sure if it was just our room but the shower head was like a mist only and didn’t spray properly. So probably needs to be updated.
It was so wonderfull
Friendly staff and exactly what v we wanted
Tv needs instruction
Convenient location and spacious room with main facilities. Clean and tidy.
Having to wash dishes etc in the bathroom sink
The room was clean and comfortable. Location was good. Restaurant next door was very good.
It was all good.
Good location, nice spa bath! And well equipped.
Great location

Clean room good size and 2 minutes to town perfect.

מיקום
לא היה מטבח ביחידה, לא היה אפשר לעשות כלום על המשטח הקטן , בקושי כוס קפה . הדחת כלים בכיור של האמבטיה , שולחן בחוץ בעצם בחניה.
מיקום מצויין, חדר מרווח
Easy check in, helpful service. Spacious unit with great bathroom-spa bath. Great location, easy walk to centre and sights with great views.
Comodità e posizione
Un po squallida la struttura
Huge room with wonderful beds, large bathroom with great shower. Kitchen really useful in unit. Available laundry with machines , clothes lines and a bbq and outdoor setting for use. 3 min walk into town with restaurants and grocery shop. Staff were so helpful and kind. Car park out front of room. Ground floor rooms. The Terrace tries hard with eco friendly rubbish management. 👏 Quiet street.
The room we had is possibly a bit dark but fine with lights on and doors open. Not a deal breaker for us
Great location close to all amenities.
Kitchen a little small and could do with an upgrade.
Great size rooms and excellent location
Nothing I didn’t like
La localisation est parfaite, en plein centre ville.
Il manquait une chaise, des couverts et pas de cafetière. Après négociation ,nous avons obtenu 1 fourchette .... La cuisine est équipée sommairement.
Lage zum Dorf, sehr gute Heizung Restaurant um die Ecke
alles gut
Spacious, clean and tidy, well equipped and well located with very nice staff
Nothing
Great basic accommodation, perfect for trips to the glacier
Clean, friendly staff and 2 minutes from town
Location good to local amenities and the glacier hikes. That’s about it.
Unclean, smell of staleness in the property. Needs refurb big time. No sink in kitchenette- need to use bathroom sink to wash dishes etc which causes clog in bathroom sink which isn’t ideal. “Kitchenette” tiny and has no hob just microwave so eating in isn’t really viable.
Tidy, compact space with everything you need except cooking facilities. Handy to restaurants.
Not very strong pressure in the shower.
Emplacement et le logement très fonctionnel
Vue sur le parking
Great location and good access, only in town for a short stay so restaurant next door and kiwi's just down the same road for the kids. Room was clean and comfortable
Small room for a complete family, but we managed
Nice shower. They provided electric blankets (didn't need it though).
The bathroom does get damp with condensation quickly and heavy after a shower. I guess you have to open the window, but we were afraid bugs would fly in, lol. A central fan would help with that.
Not alot. It was close to town.
This was the most expensive room in our trip at $474 for one night. It is called the Executive Suite but it is anything but. Very dated, the shower is straight out of the early 90’s, the chopping board is a piece of old bench top and falling apart. A lick of paint and fresh carpet does not an Executive Suite make. To use the word executive is very misleading as it is anything but. Do yourself a favour and stay anywhere else in Franz. Very overpriced.
das Badezimmer war top, das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Internet funktionierte gut
die Möbel waren alt, alles sehr eng, die Ausstattung Kitchenette reichte für aufwärmen von Fertiggerichten, das Bett war unbequem. Den angekündigten Spa und Wellnessbereich gab es nicht.Lt Hotel bezog sich diese Aussage lediglich auf einige Zimmer mit Badewanne mit Whirlpooleinsatz
The staff were friendly and acclimated our late arrival efficiently
There was a damp smell in the kitchen
Location
Poor Over priced
The accommodation was spacious and very clean. Service was excellent, even on Christmas Day when everything was closed, which was much appreciated. It’s in a great location within walking distance to the main street. The room had a smart TV, a well-sized kitchen, a decent-sized mini fridge, and super strong, reliable Wi-Fi. The staff were fantastic — friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the stay.
Parking can be a little tricky if you’re staying in one of the cottages, but it wasn’t a deal breaker.
Het motel ligt op loopafstand van het centrumpje van het dorpje, waar alles te doen is. Vanaf onze kamer was er - bij helder weer - een fantastisch uitzicht op de bergen. Helaas hebben we ook regen gehad, waardoor de bergen moeilijk zichtbaar waren. Op 2 minuten lopen van het motel vonden we gloeiwormen.
