We were greeted with warm hospitality by the owner Angela when we arrived to check into Franz Josef Oasis.
The executive king suite room was clean, cosy and spacious. We enjoyed sitting on the sofas with warm blankets place for our comfort near the fireplace.
The location of this place is also good as it 5 minutes drive to the town where we had a delicious dinner at Blue Ice Restaurant and Bar which was recommended to us by Angela.
The service is excellent and I will definitely recommend this place to those who are travelling to Franz Josef !
Good clean stay in Greymouth. Parking was a little difficult to find & the rooms were not air conditioned, but this wasn’t too much of an issue as when we went it was still cold. Staff were friendly & location was in central Greymouth.
Good, nice big shared kitchen. Booked the room with bathroom, well equipped with heater and toilet size is good. I wish there were shelves or racks in the bathroom for putting toiletries. And most importantly I wish the toilet had a cover.
Fridge and kitchenette was shared in corridor outside room. We booked a family room and was a double and two singles and private bathroom. Was no photos available at the time so had not realised there was no sitting / kitchen space - but fine for one night driving through and bar / restaurant was open. Tea and coffee available in rooms.
The male receptionist who greeted us was not particularly friendly; and only when we got to our first floor room did we read about a luggage service. The room was tastefully furnished and clean, and other staff we interacted with were friendly. However the biggest issue is that the walls between rooms are are paper thin so we could hear people next door and doors banging. This woke us up early on both nights we stayed. If you stay - bring ear plugs. There was a lounge with a bar - the bar was permanently closed so there was no where to get a hot or cold drink unless you went to a cafe down the road.
Great hotel, wonderful staff, amazing sea views (if you book a sea view room), nice restaurant, free parking, comfy beds, nice showers - perfect for a night or more in Hokitika!
