Franz Josef Glacier Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Franz Josef Glacier, West Coast

"For a one night stay travelling through New Zealand and needing to break up the journey at certain points this was fine. It’s pretty much a box with private bathroom, bed, Kitchenette. Everything was clean. Your parking space is literally right up against the sliding glass windows to your room so your view is your vehicle. The bed was good enough but a bit old school springs. Great for one night but I wouldn’t want to spend any more than that. Check in was great, helpful and cheerful and gave me a free bottle of milk for tea/coffee. All the staff on the property were friendly and helpful. The town is catering to tourists so it’s loads of day excursion places, tours, chalet style places, a few restaurants. Catering mainly to hikers etc so no frills. It’s obviously all about using town as a base for the incredible scenery."

"Very clean well laid out room with well equipped kitchen and nice bath/shower room. Friendly staff, laundry on site and easy parking"

"Great room 611 , so had a great view facing towards Glacier Alps , any room around this number where have same view so would suggest asking for any of these rooms , close to restraurants , offstreet parking , great value , didnt do breakfast but am sure it was great also."

"Really nice amenities, food and great service/staff."

"Very happy with our stay. Spacious and very comfortable. "

"We booked a studio room and it was huge! We had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our stay. The kitchenette was a useful amenity."

"The Bella Vista Motel is well located, just a few minutes’ walk from the main street shopping and dining area. Our room was clean, tidy, and well presented, with good bathroom facilities and all amenities as advertised. The room was configured with a king bed and an additional single bed. As a couple, we did not require the single, and while this made the room feel slightly cramped, it did not detract from our overall comfort. On-site parking was convenient. Although the car park was mostly full during our stay, we did not experience any difficulty in finding a space. We stayed for two nights, thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and would be happy to stay at the Bella Vista Motel again when visiting Franz Josef."

"Clean rooms, excellent staff, Kitchen was amazing as well. All in all a wonderful property to stay at."

"It was good"
