    poor wi-fi
    minor inconvenience

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Bella Vista Motel Franz Josef Glacier. The room was clean and comfortable, with a great kitchenette that allowed me to prepare my own meals. The stunning views of the glacier and surrounding mountains were simply breathtaking.

    Wi-Fi connection was poor.

    cozy blankets
    helpful manager
    comfortable bed
    awkward shower

    The room layout included a kitchenette with essential cooking supplies. The fridge was stocked with milk for my coffee upon arrival, which felt welcoming. The bed was comfortable, and I appreciated the electric blankets for those cool nights. Jo, the manager, provided wonderful local tips and helped make significant bookings for nearby attractions. Laundry facilities were clean and convenient. However, the shower height was awkward for taller individuals, contributing to a slight inconvenience. The area did feel a bit noisy at times, especially during nighttime.

    outdated room
    awkward bathroom

    great mountain views, convenient parking at door, clean kitchenette

    Shower design leaves water everywhere!!! Awkward bathroom layout without a shelf for toiletries!!! Outdated room furnishings and limited seating made indoor time uncomfortable!!! Unreliable electrical appliances raise safety concerns!!!

    friendly staff
    cozy amenities

    This place suits me perfectly! I love the fast Wi-Fi, cozy electric blankets, and the flat-screen TV. On my first stay, the staff helped me return my forgotten belongings, and they were always attentive.

    spacious studio
    helpful manager
    awkward shower

    comfortable family stay with helpful service

    Our family studio was spacious enough for three, with separate twin beds that provided great privacy. Everything was immaculate upon our arrival, which helped us settle in quickly. Jo, the manager, was incredibly knowledgeable and made our stay memorable with her local tips. We also enjoyed that beautiful mountain view from our room, which made mornings special.

    However, the bathroom shower height might be challenging for taller guests.
