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.

Good location, clean room, but very small. Not much of a breakfast

6/10 Good

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).

10/10 Exceptional

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.

We had stayed here before 3 years ago - They offered Soap in the evening and A basic Breakfast ( Toast etc ) in the Morning This was a nice touch and appreciated - Forward 3 years and the Soap after inspecting the fridge it was stored in we elected to pass this - Breakfast was verbally advised to us 7.30 am - We were there in expectation but after a wait decided to travel on - Sad really - On a positive the room was clean and well presented Reception Staff was pleasant and plenty on on site Parking - Negative is in the Review

Nothing fancy but and okay place to stay
The Montrose is a fine place to stay if you're not looking for anything fancy. The place was clean and the staff were friendly. There are no tv channels, but they do have movies you can 'rent' and return. Just note that the complimentary breakfast is just bread to make toast, coffee and some cereals - its a bit scarce and not very filling if your planning to go do lots of activities during the day.

4/10 Fair

Unbearable odour!!! Would not reccomend
Friendly staff. Good location. Liked that there was a heated blanket. However... The cleanliness and condition of this place is poor. I couldn't bring myself to brush my teeth or wash my face on our last day as when I would use the bathroom (was in a private bedroom/bathroom) I couldnt help but gag continuously due to the foul odor coming from the sink pipes. The shower smelt like urine. There was black coloured mould growing in the shower. Would not recommend this place.

Unit was a bit small. Had poor reception for tv whilst raining. Room selection not good for an old man to walk up stairways to his unit.

The hostel had good parking and in close proximity to the main town however had the most unbearable smell. Not sure what it was or where it was coming from but I had to hold my breath as I entered and exited the building.

OK overall, but nothing above expectation. Basic necessities are covered but not more. The place seems old, so it's not spotless cleanliness wise. For the price we paid, maintenance could have been better.
