    The hotel was well-maintained and the staff were very polite to us, making our stay really good. The breakfast was better than expected, with a range of non-cooked options and great service. The hotel's location in Franz Josef was convenient, close to the town center and plenty of restaurants.

The staff made sure my room was functional and neat.- The Michelin star rated restaurant at the hotel served amazing food and provided excellent service.- Having a private safe, central heating, and an iron/ironing board in the room was great.

    The room was fairly quiet and bright with an exceptionally comfortable bed. The hotel has a marvellous location just a short walk from restaurants, shops, a pub, and even a helicopter pad. It's also conveniently close to the West Coast Wildlife Centre.
