    Make sure to ask for a late check-out if available. The fine views are best enjoyed slowly in the morning light.

    spacious rooms
    hot buffet breakfast

    fantastic access to amazing landmarks and fine park views

    I really enjoyed the spacious rooms with lovely rural views and the hot buffet breakfast that gave me the energy I needed for my city strolls to nearby attractions, like Skutustaoagigar, just under 3 km away and perfect for some leisurely hikes along the serene landscapes.

    limited menu

    The restaurant's limited dinner menu needs more variety and later hours!!! Room ventilation struggles lead to stuffiness, and the absence of personal towels like washcloths falls below standard expectations!!!

    modern hotel
    comfortable rooms
    annoying midges
    unwelcoming staff

    The hotel is beautifully modern with comfortable rooms that include nice amenities, but the midges can be a serious annoyance. Despite enjoying a delicious dinner at the restaurant, a little empathy from the front desk staff would have gone a long way towards improving the experience overall.

    The staff were unusually attentive and eager to help. I also appreciated the comfortable beds , made for a restful night.

    lovely views
    limited dining options

    Gorgeous view with cozy comfort

    Waking up to lovely views of the lake was pure magic! Each sunrise was a picture-perfect moment. The big window in our room let in bright natural light.

    Though it felt isolated, the limited dining options meant we had to plan meals carefully. The only restaurant on-site had long waiting times during dinner.
