One night in Franz Josef
It was just a one night stop. The Montrose was ok really, it was far from new and without any bells and whistles but it seemed pretty clean and the staff seemed to care about the place.

バス停に近い、キッチンあり、無料朝食は簡易版
GreatsightsのFranz Josef Glacierバス停まで歩いて少しのところにあります。
キッチン(冷蔵庫、電子レンジあり)があります。
ちなみに07:30からの無料朝食は、パンとジュース(ハム類、卵料理やスープは無し)の簡易版です。

The room was clean and comfortable- the tv was a nice addition to the room. Kitchen was well kept and the size seemed reasonable for the number of folks staying. Biggest drawback that essentially ruined our stay was that the floors and walls are so thin, we were kept up most of the night by late arrivals (10pm and midnight) then again by people getting up early (5am).

Bon plan
Très bon rapport qualité prix, surtout en cette période de fête (Nous avons occupé 2 chambres avec grand lit, pour une nuit, entre la Noël et le jour de l'an). Propreté irréprochable y compris des sanitaires collectifs. Établissement très bien situé. Nous le recommandons.

This was a very well maintained property and all amenities were available, again very well kept for a small town and budget stay! Very impressed and will recommend than shelling out a lot more on other hotels around, the views and access to towns, transport etc are the exact same.

Vandrarhems boende.
Fri frukost med bra utbud. OK rum och sängar. Nackdel delad toa och dusch. Lyhört från grannar på sidan och ovanför.
