The Ice Hotel
Pros:

Lovely old hunting lodge situated in a national park. The food is very good 👍 and has some lovely communal areas.

Cons:

This hotel is not a place to stay in winter it os like a fridge 😒 too cold the staff gave us extra heater for the room, but the rest of the hotel was too cold to be comfortable. The bed was very small and an uncomfortable mattress.

Repetiremos el año que viene
Pros:

La ubicación es fantástica para hacer rutas de senderismo, tiene diferentes spots para disfrutar del sitio, muy acogedor con la chimenea, los trabajadores son un encanto, es pet friendly….

Cons:

La decoración del comedor/sala de estar quizás no va mucho con el sitio, a lo mejor algo más rústico iría mejor. Por decir algo.

Prachtige ligging, maar helaas ouderwets, slechte bedden
Pros:

De ligging is fantastisch

Cons:

Hotel is een beetje blijven steken in de Jaren 70, op zich is dat geen heel groot beletsel maar dan moeten op zijn minst de bedden goed zijn deze waren smal (twijfelaartje)en verschrikkelijk oncomfortabel. Geen verlichting bij het bed.
Er was een feest (met nauwelijks bezoekers) daardoor was de keuken dicht en konden we ‘s avonds niet eten.
Omdat het hotel prachtig maar weliswaar zeer afgelegen ligt moesten we dus naar Ojen rijden (al was dit niet onoverkomelijk)

Agradable
Pros:

La ubicación en plena naturaleza y la tranquilidad

Cons:

Es bastante antiguo y puede que la decoración e instalaciones forme parte del encanto.
Aún así, necesita una remodelación en general y la limpieza es justa

Pros:

Wij zijn op zoek naar een huis in de regio en zijn daarom al op verschillende plaatsen geweest. Dit was tot noch toe de enige plaats waar ik langer wou blijven. Er heerst rust, puurheid. Heel vriendelijk personeel, je bent er welkom. Heel mooie omgeving. Uniek.
