Pros:

Man konnte sich für die Polarlichter eintragen, um gewegt zu werden, wenn es da ist.Das Frühstück war ok. Das Abendessen im Hotel war sehr gut.

Cons:

Der Schnee auf dem Parkplatz war nicht aufgeräumt, wo wir Teilweise mit dem Auto steckengeblieben sind und Probleme hatten rauszukommen.

Szuper lokáció, tiszta szoba, kedves személyzet

Franciaágyat kértem, de két külön egyszemélyes ágyat kaptunk. Szálláshelyen a vacsora lehetősegek nagyon drágák.

Formidable !
Pros:

L'hôtel est moderne, propre et confortable. Il offre une vue magnifique sur la région et est un excellent point de chute pour découvrir les attractions aux alentours. Le personnel est super avenant, le petit-déjeuner varié et copieux ; parfait pour bien démarrer la journée. Bien que le prix du restaurant soit onéreux, la cuisine y est vraiment excellente donc si vous avez un petit budget à y consacrer, n'hésitez pas !

Fantástico!
Pros:

Fantástico. O hotel está situado no cimo de uma pequena colina erma, sem quaisquer outras construções à volta, e tem uma vista desafogada e linda por quilómetros em redor. O estilo é sóbrio / moderno mas é muito acolhedor e confortável. O jantar no restaurante foi óptimo, bem como o pequeno-almoço. A nossa estadia de uma noite foi verdadeiramente excelente!

Cons:

Não há nada de que não tenhamos gostado.
