Great location, but outdated facilities
The location was fantastic and made exploring the glacier region very easy, but my room was quite old and could use some renovations. The staff was friendly and helpful, and they were quick to assist with any issues. However, the mattress was soft and worn out, resulting in an uncomfortable sleep. With more attention to room updates, this hotel could easily enhance its guest experience.

Mixed Experience, Great Location, Service Lacks
We stayed for one night, enjoying the prime location near stunning views. The room itself felt dated, unfortunately, but the front desk staff were accommodating. Dinner at the nearby restaurant offered delightful food, but expect delays. If you value service, consider dining elsewhere to maximize enjoyment.

I found the Scenic Hotel Franz Josef Glacier beautifully decorated with warm, welcoming spaces. The accessible walkways throughout the hotel made it easy for me, as a senior, to navigate comfortably while enjoying the stunning mountain views.
Improved dining options for seniors would be beneficial.

We had a great family adventure, taking a thrilling trip through ancient rainforests and rivers nearby. Our daughter loved the experience of paddling down the beautiful West Coast. The location is stunning and perfect for outdoor fun.
In my wife’s opinion, the cleanliness of the room could use immediate improvement. We noticed some maintenance issues that consistently detracted from our overall comfort.

Loved the cozy twin room! The view from our balcony was a total delight, perfect for sipping tea and pretending to be in a postcard.
The WiFi? More like 'Why-Bye! ' and don’t get me started on those flat pillows. I mean, they could literally be a pancake!

pleasant stay with stunning views
The accommodating staff made check-in a breeze , but the amenities could use a refresh. We appreciated the comfortable bedding and the beautiful mountain views from our small deck. Having coffee, tea, and hot chocolate in the room enhanced our mornings quite a bit.
