Glow Worm Accommodation is located in the center of Franz Josef and offers a range of shared dormitory rooms and private en suite rooms. Free unlimited WiFi is included.

All rooms include a free vegetable soup in the evening as well as BBQ facilities and free use of the spa pool. The owner is very nice, the jacuzzi and grill in the yard are great extras, but the most amazing thing is that the knives in the kitchen are sharp enough to dice tomatoes. Great job Benjamin
