Spotless, comfy room, nice bed, water and coffee/tea supplies and a large TV. This would have been a 5 star review if not for the noise from the upstairs room as the walls are very thin. I heard everything all night and hardly slept. It’s the not fault of the hotel so I feel bad marking down but maybe invest in some sound proofing. Other than that…lovely! ##### Carly Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Evette 17 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spent just one night after a full day tour from Christchurch. Staff at check-in were lovely and helpful. While we didn't get to spend a lot of time in the room it served its purpose. Although it was on the small size it was clean, quiet, and had a great bed. Only complaint was that the bathroom sink was too small. But we liked that the hotel offered its guests complementary (good) coffee, muffins, and a public space with a microwave, toaster, TV, computer, games, and a popcorn machine. It's walking distance to restaurants and a grocery store, which is always a plus for us. ##### Evette Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### William 18 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great dining / kitchen area Easy access to all tours in Franz Josef ##### William Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce 11 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Well priced, excellent room, squeaky clean. ##### Bruce Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Udo 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly staff ##### Udo Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melody 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff, clean and close to all amenities in town. ##### Melody Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Huizhao 31 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Large communinual kitchen, cozy setting for relaxing and talking to fellow travelers ##### Huizhao Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leanne 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Above and beyond service and friendliness.

Our comfort room was a good base for exploring the area. The communal kitchen and dining area was really handy. The lodge is in the centre of the township so really convenient for amenities. ##### Joanna Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brett 12 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good times in Franz Josef.

Highly recommended! ##### Angela Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zack 22 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Family owned lodge and beautiful scenery The lodge was beautiful and had a great view! We walked into town to grab breakfast and dinner. I didnt realize the room I picked had shared bathrooms but it worked out for the night we stayed. Highly recommend staying ##### Zack Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > > [Millbrook Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Millbrook-Resort.h584862.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omapere-Hotels-The-Heads-Hokianga.h1217506.Hotel-Information) > > [Kelly Rd Cambridge Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Kelly-Rd-Cambridge-Lodge.h17679551.Hotel-Information) > > [Scenic Hotel Punakaiki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Punakaiki-Resort.h982476.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Resort By Wyndham Rotorua Marama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ramada-Resort-By-Wyndham-Rotorua-Marama.h3512184.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barn Cabins & Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marahau-Hotels-The-Barn-Cabins-Camping.h15886153.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Hotel Greymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Kingsgate-Hotel-Greymouth.h12933.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > > [Hahei Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hahei-Hotels-Hahei-Holiday-Resort.h9869496.Hotel-Information) > > [The Amberley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amberley-Hotels-The-Amberley-Hotel.h83782595.Hotel-Information) > > [Porters Boutique Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Havelock-North-Hotels-Porters-Boutique-Hotel.h15965962.Hotel-Information) > > [Treetops Lodge & Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Treetops-Lodge-Estate.h912953.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Alicante](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alicante-Hotels.d356.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Duke of Marlborough Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Russell-Hotels-The-Duke-Of-Marlborough-Hotel.h1038082.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Queenstown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Queenstown.h4412246.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardrona Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Cardrona-Hotel.h9629768.Hotel-Information) > > [Kinloch Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Kinloch-Wilderness-Retreat.h3848386.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Ridge Studios and Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Blue-Ridge-Boutique-Bed-Breakfast.h9625233.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayside Holiday Units](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitianga-Hotels-Bayside-Holiday-Units.h49101011.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Distinction Heritage Gateway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omarama-Hotels-Heritage-Gateway-Hotel.h519242.Hotel-Information) > > [Beachfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitianga-Hotels-Beachfront-Resort.h6960059.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Park-Village-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32421560.Hotel-Information) > > [Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waitomo-Caves-Hotels-Waitomo-Caves-Guest-Lodge.h16121337.Hotel-Information) > > [Te Anau Lakeview Holiday Park & Motels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Te-Anau-Lakeview-Kiwi-Holiday-Park-Motels.h4192650.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Lake Hotel and Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hidden-Lake-Hotel-And-Apartments.h29081973.Hotel-Information) ---
