Pros:

Location near Höfn and glacier park is great

Cons:

No black out shades. Very basic conditions. One of our rooms had a bathroom that was a combination toilet, shower, sink which was less than ideal.

Remote location, perfect for Northern lights viewing
Pros:

The highlight was seeing the northern lights! The hotel is in a remote location with beautiful views. The rooms are a good size, although the bed felt narrow. The staff were nice and friendly, particularly in the evening.

Luft nach oben
Pros:

Das Bett war bequem und das Zimmer sauber. Das Frühstück war lecker. Für die Durchreise ist das Hotel völlig in Ordnung.

Cons:

Das Frühstücksbuffet ist in Ordnung in Bezug auf Abwechslung. Allerdings ist das Buffet zu klein für die Menge der Zimmer und da die meisten dort Frühstück inklusive haben, ist das Buffet schnell mal geplündert und man muss auf Brot o.ä. warten.
Das Bad ist leider wahrscheinlich vor der Jahrtausendwende gebaut und das letzte Mal renoviert worden, aber sauber.

Pros:

מלון נעים ומזמין. החדרים מרווחים ומצויידים במכונת קפה. אנשי הצוות מסייעים בשמחה. ארוחת הערב והבוקר היו טעימות עם מבחר טוב. נהננו להיות בג'קוזי ובספא. נשמח לחזור להתארח בו.

Cons:

שהיינו בו רק לילה אחד ולא יותר

Great location with views of glacier; very comfortable rooms and great restaurant.
Pros:

The view from the hotel is fantastic. The location is great since there are not many hotels north of there; especially when doing the ring road in clockwise fashion. The hotel is modern and comfortable. The dinner was really good as was the breakfast. The bar has nice seating with view outside and good wines. Only 1 hour from hotel to Glacier Bay.
