Hotel en entorno tranquilo, pero cerca de la ciudad, junto a la orilla del lago. Habitación confortable. Buena cena y magnífico desayuno.
Haber tenido una habitación con vistas al lago.

Segunda vez que lo visito y me gustó aun más que la primera. Quizá influyó tener una habitación con unas preciosas vistas del lago.
Hotel confortable, con un magnífico desayuno y un buen restaurante.
Que las dos noches que pasé en el hotel estuviera nublado. Es un sitio perfecto para ver la aurora boreal.

gezellig hotel op mooie locatie aan het meer (in ons geval niet zichtbaar door ijs en sneeuw), gezellige entree en prima kamer. 's avonds heerlijk gegeten in het restaurant en ontbijtbuffet was uitgebreid en goed.
jammer dat er kosten aan het gebruik van de sauna zaten

Das Essen abends war zwar sehr teuer, aber köstlich. Die Zimmer sind groß und geräumig, aber hellhörig, wir waren über der Küche. Den Wellnessbereich kann man sich eigentlich sparen, aber immerhin gibt es einen. Liegemöglichkeiten fehlen. Der warne Pool ist toll. Aber man zahlt fur die Nutzung eine Gebühr. Das Ambiente ist aber wirklich schön. Man kann es hier gut aushalten. Der Weckdienst fur die Nordlichter ist toll und das Frühstück ist umfangreich.
S.o
Der Abfluss im Bad riecht leider stark.

La camera aveva vista sul lago, le materie prime del ristorante di qualità.
Pulizia non accurata.
Personale (non tutto ovviamente) decisamente frettoloso ed addirittura scortese, sia alla reception che al ristorante.
Dettagli che rendono davvero infelice un soggiorno. Eppure sorriso disponibilità e gentilezza sono non solo gratuiti ma direi un dovere nei confronti degli ospiti.
Non lo consiglio.

Die Einrichtung des Zimmers war sehr modern. Das Restaurant, welches innerhalb des Hotels ist, bietet außergewöhnlich leckeres Essen an.
Leider war es in unserem Zimmer (Nr.13) sehr laut, da es über der Küche liegt. Sowohl morgens als auch abends war sehr lauter Lärm aus der Küche wahrzunehmen, weshalb es schwer fiel, erholsam zu schlafen.

Great hotel, clean with nice staff. The restaurant really knows how to prepare food. Amazing breakfast! Big room size. Great bathroom.
Would definitely recommend and visit again.
Thanks for making our trip that much more enjoyable.
The smell of manure comming from the dairy farm attached to the property. Could not smell it from inside the hotel though. Minor detail!

Looked brand new in the room. Well appointed and clean.
Next to a barn…. The smell was a little off putting when you arrive

Very nice hotel, great place and amazing restaurant
The staff was not very warm and welcoming, not rude, but a place like this would deserve a nicer receptionist

The location was totally fine, the space at the rooms were enough and the kitchen was amazing. We especially loved the green curry fish soup! It was amazing!!!!
The television didn’t work and we called the reception but nobody came to fix it, although we were very tired so it wasn’t such a big issue.

traditional feel hotel in a rural setting- great for spotting the northern lights! the staff were absolutely lovely, they even left breakfast out for us to take with us since we left so early in the morning which was amazing.
the dining area is a big open space which was very cold, which is the last thing you want in Iceland in the winter! other than that the property is absolutely lovely
