    Nice breakfast with plenty of choice. Nice room with a view of the mountains and a central location in the small village that allowed us to walk to all the attractions. Parking adjacent to room and laundry facilities free of charge.

    We enjoyed our one night stay. Warm welcome. Room was perfectly fine. We remember and appreciate our experience relaxing on our balcony and seeing the mountains (if you are, as we were, lucky with your room orientation). Although we arrived late...

    Very central in Franz Josef, beds were extremely comfy and walking distance to most of the cafes / restaurants. Plenty of parking available. Friendly staff!
