Pros:

Das Hotel überzeugt mit einem sehr guten und reichhaltigen Frühstück und modern eingerichteten Zimmern, in denen man sich sofort wohlfühlt. Die ruhige Einzellage bietet einen wunderschönen Blick über die weite Landschaft bis hin zu den Gletschern und macht den Aufenthalt besonders erholsam.

Die Lage ist außerdem ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge zu verschiedenen Gletschern. Höfn ist ebenfalls nicht weit entfernt und gut erreichbar.

Insgesamt eine sehr schöne und ruhig gelegene Unterkunft mit modernem Komfort, einem tollen Frühstück und einer fantastischen Aussicht.

Cons:

Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen ist der vergleichsweise hohe Preis. Bei diesem Preisniveau hätten wir uns einen zusätzlichen Wellnessbereich oder zumindest einen Hot Pot gewünscht – gerade bei der beeindruckenden Landschaft wäre das eine schöne Ergänzung gewesen.
