Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Spacious, modern, and clean, good view and cosy location. Feels quite new. Small kitchenette but well equipped. Small private deck (front-facing) with chairs which are great for stargazing. Smart TV which supports chromecast. 2 heaters so warmth was not a problem. Would stay again, especially if the shower was reinstalled.
Negative: Shower was improperly installed as you could enter or exit the shower without setting the water to cold because the mixer handle is in the way of the door. Fixture was quite wobbly. Fully carpeted so nowhere ideal to put boots (the outside deck is not protected from the rain), surprising for an active/adventure area like Franz Josef. Bedside lamps were a daylight white rather than warm white.
Summary: Clean and cosy but our room had a poorly installed shower
