The staff are very courteous. The bedrooms were a good size, very clean & good blackout curtains. The hotel was very quiet despite being quite busy. The breakfast buffet was great & had lots of choices. The meals in the restaurant were delicious.

This hotel seems to be a bit unorganized. We had one breakfast there and it was a disaster. There was not enough dishes, guests were cutting loaf of bread with bare hands, eggs were dry, there is no freshly cooked food in the breakfast buffet. It’s definitely of substandard compared to the Fosshotel at glacier lagoon. Will not recommend.
