One night in Franz Josef
It was just a one night stop. The Montrose was ok really, it was far from new and without any bells and whistles but it seemed pretty clean and the staff seemed to care about the place.

The room was clean and comfortable- the tv was a nice addition to the room. Kitchen was well kept and the size seemed reasonable for the number of folks staying. Biggest drawback that essentially ruined our stay was that the floors and walls are so thin, we were kept up most of the night by late arrivals (10pm and midnight) then again by people getting up early (5am).

Bon plan
Très bon rapport qualité prix, surtout en cette période de fête (Nous avons occupé 2 chambres avec grand lit, pour une nuit, entre la Noël et le jour de l'an). Propreté irréprochable y compris des sanitaires collectifs. Établissement très bien situé. Nous le recommandons.

This was a very well maintained property and all amenities were available, again very well kept for a small town and budget stay! Very impressed and will recommend than shelling out a lot more on other hotels around, the views and access to towns, transport etc are the exact same.

受付は親切でした。部屋やシャワーも清潔です。朝食はパンとフレークと牛乳、バナナなどが置いてあり、自由に食べられますが、タイミングが悪いと何もないことも(伝えれば補充してくれるようです)。 価格もピーク時期にしては良心的だと思います。 総じて良いホステルでした。

很不錯的住宿
住的是雙人房房型，所以安排在另一棟。去過背包客棧那邊看過一下，那邊感覺設施比較舊一點。 住宿提供的wifi穩，熱水水壓都很穩。 地段也不錯，在yha的對面，坐公共交通很方便。去餐廳，超市走路都是數分鐘而已。 早餐跟一般背包客棧，都是提供簡單的麵包配果醬，玉米片牛奶這樣。 綜觀是比一般的背包客棧好，浴室廁所都很乾淨。 唯一美中不足是hot pool in maintenance ，沒有機會用到hot pool。
