We stayed for one night Feb 2025 mainly to visit the Franz Josef glacier. Room was comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities. Parking was easy. Restaurants, coffee shops and supermarket within walking distance but the village itself it quite small.

We had to change our stay and could only get a Standard room on rebooking. The rooms are in an older portion, even though the room was spotless. The bed was the most uncomfortable that I ever slept in. The mattress was completely worn out and should have been sent to the dump probably ten years ago. I have slept in thousands of beds over the last 45 years and this was by far the worst. They should be ashamed to rent this room.

Thr hotel itself was nice and located right in the center of the town. Parking was supposedly sufficient but pretty limited as there were a lot of parked cars. What we considered quite disappointing was that there was no open restaurant in the hotel at 20:45 however it was half board service... Nevertheless we got a lunch package für the next day instead...
