Comfortable beds and everything you could need in terms of cooking and entertainment/tv. ##### Katherine Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ming Shun Vincent 9 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Decent place to stay near Franz Josef ##### Ming Shun Vincent Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Louvain 2 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean, comfortable, quiet and well-appointed chalets. About 4km from town so no hustle and bustle. Basic but not 'budget' as it felt quite luxurious for what it was. Stayed in the 2 bed one bath bracken chalet - can't fault it. ##### Louvain Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sung Eun 20 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great! ##### Sung Eun Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn 25 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really nice & clean .a few Kms out of main town but short drive . ##### Glenn Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin 21 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities very clean and staff were very obliging ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dustin 24 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The accommodations were fine, my wife and I booked a 2 bedroom cabin for one night. We had a friend traveling with us as well. When booking a 2 bedroom cabin I think most people would assume that would mean 2-4 people staying in the room. Upon check in we were charged an additional $50 for the third person. So in my mind they made an additional $50 on us for the use of one additional bath towel. A bit ridiculous considering we were the only guests for the entire night. There are plenty of other options around Franz. ##### Dustin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy 24 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean, spacious room - 5 minutes drive to the town centre. ##### Lucy ### 4/10 Poor #### imogen 6 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff weren’t overly friendly. They wore headphones while giving us our keys and when we needed any assistance they didn’t really talk to us and kept their headphones in. When we booked we were told we would have milk but there was no milk provided. The bed was as hard as a rock. There were towels labelled “make up” but then there was a sign above them saying if we used them to take our make up off and stained the towels we would be fined. Overall we were there for one night and can’t really find much positive to say about it ##### imogen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 7 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely roomy chalet in great condition. Short drive to the township. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew 6 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Gorgeous view of the Franz Josef glacier from our chalet. Large and spacious, it was an accommodation we will never forget staying at. Conveniently located just outside of town, we were able to get what we needed, visit where we wanted, and finish the day with a beautiful stay. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shah 2 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice clean and tidy, also our unit had a separate lounge from the bedroom which was great.

Quiet. Modern and fresh. Multiple choices of unit size, so look for the one that is right for you. I recommend this accommodation. Parking right at your individual unit, which I prefer. ##### Jay Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 9 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect accommodation in paradise Fantastic clean, comfortable, quiet, spacious accommodation just out of Franz Josef township. Close to everything and in a beautiful setting. Unit had everything we needed for our family or five and was a really lovely comfortable place to stay. Would definitively recommend Jag Escape Franz Alpine Retreat. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [M Social New York Downtown (Formerly Millennium Downtown New York )](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Millennium-Hilton-New-York-Downtown.h892034.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lusaka](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lusaka-Hotels.d2161.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Bahía de Tossa & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tossa-De-Mar-Hotels-Golden-Bahia-De-Tossa-Spa.h8120732.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Valletta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valletta-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d2341-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Reykjavik](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels.d6054688.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Liverpool City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-City-Centre-Liverpool-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n6336703-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near All England Jumping Course at Hickstead](https://www.expedia.co.uk/All-England-Jumping-Course-At-Hickstead-Hotels.0-l6266684-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Bangor-on-Dee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bangor-On-Dee-Hotels.d6343063.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Atlantis , Paradise Island, Bahamas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paradise-Island-Hotels-Atlantis.h71632290.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Amorossa with Garden View & Shared Pool by Konnect, Roda Corfu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Amorossa-Village.h65345223.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Airport Transfers in Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Hotel-With-Airport-Transfers.0-0-d6053839-thotelwithairporttransfers.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Aparthotels Province of Florence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Province-Of-Florence-Apart-Hotels.d179893-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Royal Oak](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marlborough-Hotels-The-Royal-Oak.h3552436.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Stratford-upon-Avon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d5703-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Starhotels Ritz](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milan-Hotels-Starhotels-Ritz.h21978.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Shark's Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sharks-Bay-Hotels.0-l6069798-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Secrets-Royal-Beach-Punta-Cana-Adults-Only.h3206683.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Sant Josep de sa Talaia (IBZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/ibz/newcastle-to-ibiza) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Monterblanc (VNE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/vne/london-to-vannes) > > [Flights from Paris (CDG) to Crumlin (BFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cdg/bfs/paris-to-belfast) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Birmingham (CVT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/cvt/london-to-coventry) ### Cars > [Convertible Car Hire in Palma de Mallorca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Convertible-Car-Rentals-In-Palma-De-Mallorca.d4803920-tConvertible.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Packages > [Jakarta Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jakarta.d178269.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Prague 1](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Prague-1.dx6242762)
