Staying at this hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms provided a sense of comfort and cleanliness, but the lack of privacy due to their design was a downside. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, enhancing our overall experience. The location was superb, offering easy access to breathtaking natural attractions, yet the dining options left room for improvement.

My stay at this hotel was truly delightful. The location was fantastic, allowing easy access to glaciers and local attractions before the tour groups arrived. The rooms with huge windows on two sides were cozy and perfect for our family of three. The standard hotel breakfast saved us from searching for dining options, even though the nearest restaurant was a bit of a trek away at the end of the left wing. The service was exceptional, with accommodating and welcoming staff who provided us with valuable driving information for our adventures in the highlands. The dining experience was a highlight, offering a delicious selection to fuel our day of exploration. However, the facilities could use a bit of improvement to match the overall wonderful experience.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel was a cozy retreat with beautiful country and night sky views from our room. Small details like a wool throw for chilly nights and convenient kitchen access made all the difference. While it felt stuffy at times facing the back, it wasn't a major issue. The room itself was spacious, well-appointed, and had the perfect touch of individual radiators for personalized heating before check-in.
