Our stay was very comfortable and cosy, would certainly recommend
L emplacement
Le bac à douche
Location and comfort.
Would have liked a cook top or access to a bbq facilities on site.
Proximity to all facilities- walking distance
Over night stay, accommodation was warm, tidy and clean. Beautiful views of the mountains right from our room.
Cosy and comfortable. Place is a bit old, but clean and had everything we need.
Great Location. Walkin distance to the cafe and shops
Felt a bit clostrophobic due to the height of the rooms. Worth staying for a night or two.
Gemütliche Unterkunft, sauber und alles was man für zwei Tage braucht.
Location excellent. Very comfortable in beautiful setting. Had allocated parking.
Everything Fantastic bathroom for those with disabilities
Lovely comfortable cottage Staff friendly and helpful
Parking a little tight at times
Great location , close to shops, restaurants and walks to Franz Josef. Room facilities adequate if you want to self cater. Balcony to have a drink and relax. Easy designated parking
Excellent location in the heart of the village close to the restaurants and helicopter flight agents. Liked being able to park right next to our door, all facilities inside the room were good standard.
Nothing to dislike.
Very clean and comfortable. Big comfy bed. Chairs and table outside on small terrace. Great location a few minutes walk from shops and restaurants.
Everything was good
Clean and comfortable and very close to the Main Street
Very easy location close to everything. The staff were all very friendly and particularly helpful when we lost our car keys!
The patio area was rather dark and you felt rather squashed in next to your neighbours
Ganz gute Größe des Zimmers, hingegen könnte das Bad etwas größer sein. Das Hotel liegt recht zentral, gerade mal 5 Minuten zum Zentrum.
Keine tägliche Zimmerreinigung
Close to shops, restaurants and cafes. Views of mountains.
Private, quiet and comfortable. Very easy walking distance to restaurants etc.
Basic accommodation but comfortable enough for a one night stopover. Off main road but close enough that you can walk to the restaurants. Quiet area. Parking was assigned.
Bed was worn and not too comfortable. Bathroom was tiny. The porch was on the front facing the car park with no privacy.
Comfortable and very clean. Room servicing was great. Location was close to the main street but away from the traffic, so nice and quiet.
For this price and for booking a cottage, I would be expecting cooking facilities; this was a studio room, motel style. On site parking was a little bit difficult.
Bem localizado, ótimo custo X benefício, limpi e confortável!
Spacious, good location
Fabulous place, good clean full of amenities and easy walking distance to all the activities. Loved the views and little verandas. What not to like.
Nothing.
Great location
A bit dated but otherwise great
Good location, close to shops, eateries
Parking can be a bit awkward if there are many large vehicles
Cosy little cottages, easy walk to eating establishments. I would recommend the Mountain View Cottages rather than the Studios tucked away in the back, which had no outlook.
Rather expensive for what you get - but I guess that is what you pay when in the heart of such a tourist area.
Rooms were fantastic view of the mountains are amazing, had everything you need and more and the room was spotless..
Location very good for the area
Next door had outside light left on all night, with some light getting through the curtain directly over the bed
The location was great with walking distsnce to all facilities and a view of the mountain, although it rained heavily while we were there
Nothing
Staff helpful. Great location Good free internet Cottage good for a couple
Nothing really.
Close to town. View of snow capped mountains
Washing facilities. Apparently, they are run by an independent owner. Required coins, but office has no spare coins. Had to go to supermarket in town to get cash. Very poor.
Clean and pleasant accommodation in a central and quiet location.
We had a lovely stay in this pleasant 2-bedroom cottage. The beds were very comfortable and we especially appreciated the wide variety of pillows to choose from. The communication with the hosts was very kind and professional. The location is excellent, with restaurants, a supermarket, and great trip spots just a short distance away.
As for the downsides, the kitchen is on the smaller side and the fridge is getting a bit old and could probably use a replacement. Overall, a very nice experience
Central gelegen.Schöne Lage Preis Leistung ist gut.
👍👍
Excellent location. Beautiful view from our cottage, #3. Clean, friendly, comfortable.
The location in Franzs Joesph was spot on, far enough from the main areas so its quite but only a short walk to a pub. Room was a decent size and had everything you need. Bed was comfy. The views are outstanding and I spent quite a bit of time looking out the window.
Took quite awhile to get hot water through in the shower.
Location
Pillows abit uncomfortable
Compact. Clean. Ideal for one night stay.
Wir hatten das erste Haus in der Reihe, mit Bergblick. Parkplatz vor der Tür. Gefallen hat uns die kleine integrierte Küche, der Ort ist in Laufnähe. Fliegengitter im Bad, Tisch und Stühle auf einer kleinen Terrasse vor der Tür. Gardinen zum Abdunkeln vorhanden
Easy to walk around Franz Josef shops etc, Comfortable room. Nice showers.
Difficult to park on the first night as others did not park effectively - & nowhere close to leave car.

Great location, comfy little rooms - great for our family of 4 (including 2 large teenagers)
Staff were very friendly and gave excellent recommendations.
Great location, so close to main area of town. Clean quiet & warm cottage. Super friendly & helpful staff.

The cottage is clean and cozy and the bed is comfortable. It is situated near everything you need in Franz Josef.
Our only disappointment was that we were placed in a cottage that is squeezed into the corner of the property with all views through the windows being the walls of other cottages. Any of the other cottages would be better.
good location near franz josef city center. clean spacious room with plenty of amenities. Spacious and neatly arranged parking space. Friendly & helpful staff: lost my luggage padlock key and one of the staff came over to help breaking the padlock
gravel parking lot made you need to lift your luggage
It was right in the centre and quiet. We had a good view of the mountains and we appreciated having access to a washing machine and dryer. The shower power was one of the best we've experienced.
The units were screened from each other with planting but the room was tight between each. The picture looks like they are in a row but it was more of a square horseshoe layout so not as private as I thought it would be.
The location was excellent. Very close to the market and all the amenities were readily available. We booked this property a year in advance so got for cheap as compared to other available options.
We didn't knew that cottage is different to a motel and hence few amenities were not available however the manager got it sorted for us. I truly appreciate that. The room size was small but wouldn't complain in comparison to the cost we paid.
Nichts, wir haben die Schlüssel nach einer Stunde wieder abgegeben und sind weitergefahren.
Alles
The location is great - it is near to a lovely walk Gallery Gorge - and the main road is two minutes away . There is also a nice restaurant next to the office.
Nothing at all
Sauberes und geräumiges Zimmer, bequemes Bett, gute Lage und sehr ruhig, einfacher Check in
The bird like.
Over priced just add another 100 but provide nothing extra.
Grand cottage, serviettes de toilettes top, emplacement proche des tours en hélicoptère
Manque une plaque pour faire à manger (il n’y a qu’un micro onde), place de parking un peu serrée
