Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location made it easy to access Franz Josef
Negative: We had inconsiderate guests above us, meaning all night we heard noise. Try and get an upstairs room to avoid this.
Summary: Great location, however other guess weren’t considerate and room had thin walls
