What Guests Say

Facade/entrance in Scenic Hotel Franz Josef Glacier

The breakfast was great—fresh, filling, and a perfect start to the day. The view of the glaciers from our bedroom was absolutely stunning and easily the highlight of our stay. The location was very convenient, just a few minutes away from restaurants/shops and, helipads and tour centres.

Facility was very clean and the staff was excellent. We had a fantastic view of the glacier from our room and we loved that. The place was within 5 min walking distance from every restaurant.

The hotel is in an incredible location and the view from our room was amazing. The hotel had good facilities and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, spacious and well presented with very nice toiletries. I wish that we were able to stay another day but we had such a tight schedule that this was not possible. I hope to return sometime soon.

We stayed here for one night on our travels around the south island. The hotel is really well located to the centre of the town with plentiful car parking. The staff were friendly and the accommodation comfortable and similar to the motel style of many hotels in New Zealand. Breakfast and dinner was included and was pleasant. The price is a little higher than we would pay for similar accommodation elsewhere but given the location was good value.

Our room was a good size, clean and comfortable. We did have an issue with a nearby restaurant playing loud music. However, the staff at the hotel called the restaurant and asked them to turn the music down (which they did) and as our 2nd night was New Years Eve the Hotel staff also ensured that we could shift rooms to the other side of the hotel and away from the music which we really appreciated. Our rate included breakfast and again the waiting staff were very welcoming and the food was good. Overall, we were really impressed with the customer service.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even made suggestions for their favorite restaurants in our next town we were visiting. They had everything available to us that you would need. A really nice large room with a fireplace. Games to enjoy. Also, to our surprise, they had a washer and dryer that was very reasonable. It was truly handy and helpful. We would highly recommend!

Lounge or bar in Scenic Hotel Franz Josef Glacier

The staff were extremely helpful and nice. Mel, a trainee customer service consultant, was incredibly welcoming. There is lots of parking near hotel rooms. There is a staircase to the second floor. Our room was very comfortable. We had a little balcony overlooking the main reception area and the mountains beyond. We did not eat or drink at the hotel but that area looking very well maintained and cosy. The hotel was in a great location. Everything within very easy walking distance.

Bird's eye view in Scenic Hotel Franz Josef Glacier

Lovely hotel. Great location. Stunning views. Great breakfast. The only downside was that there was a large wet stain outside our room in the corridor with an awful unpleasant smell. Advised staff who seemed unaware of it. It appeared to us to have been a long standing leak with that dreadful odour. Hopefully, they will have it fixed for the next guests.

Lobby or reception in Scenic Hotel Franz Josef Glacier

Excellent location and we opened our curtains from our first floor room to the beautiful Franz Josef Glacier which was stunning. Room quite large, but without balcony. Comfortable room with enough space for a two night stay.
