Beautiful establishment
Pros:

We upgraded to the new building and it was so cool and absolutely beautiful! The staff found my camera in the room while cleaning and called me immediately and held it for us to pick up, which was great!

Cons:

The WiFi was not good in the room, it cut in and out a lot and I ended up just not using it.

Hôtel joliment décoré sur le thème viking.
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner et la décoration de l’hôtel du bâtiment principal et l’extérieur des cottages.

Cons:

La salle de bain du cottage ne correspond pas à un 4 étoiles: porte de douche bancale, mitigeur cassé (soit eau froide, soit eau bouillante), lunette des toilettes instable.

Pros:

O hotel é bem imersivo a viking! Possui uma boa decoração, tem estacionamento, o café da manhã é bom. O quarto que fiquei é confortável, porém pequeno.

Cons:

O hotel vende que possui sauna e banheira quente, mas esse ponto deixou muito a desejar. Área bem abandonada, escura e sem o devida atenção do hotel. O banheiro do meu quarto era pequeno, mas o que deixou a desejar é que o ralo não descia a água com a vazão correta no chuveiro, parecia que trasbordaria.

Pros:

Great location - I love the Viking theme which drew me in but it is the staff and overall experience of the hotel which had me come back for a second stay.

Cons:

No complaints - we stayed in the new section, had incredibly comfortable beds and the breakfast is excellent.

Værelser i top, morgenmad middelmådig
Pros:

Rigtig fine værelser i den nye del. Der kunne godt være lidt mere kaffe/te til rådighed på værelset. Gerne også koffeinfri kaffe og plantemælk. Men ellers i top.

Rigtig godt glutenfrit brød på morgenbuffetten

Cons:

Morgenmaden. Et hotel af den kaliber skal byde på en bedre morgenmad:
Kaffekopperne er espresso-størrelse, så det er umuligt at lave en almindelig størrelse kaffe. Kopperne er keramik og kolde, hvilket betyder at varmen i den smule kaffe som koppen kan holde forsvinder hurtigt. Juicebar med virkelig ringe juicer af koncentrat. En hummus som ikke er en rigtig hummus. Masser af forskelligt brød, men kedeligt udvalg af ost og pålæg. Kun kolde skiveskårne æg. Ingen varme retter. Lav-selv-pandekager, men kun ét pandekagejern til mange mennesker.
