United KingdomGood location, excellent facilities and great rooms.
United KingdomWe treated ourselves to a suite, which was spacious and had beautiful views which highlighted the stunning location. Amazing bathroom with a large bath which was appreciated after a wet glacier walk! The toiletries were also very good. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant which had lovely food, if a little pricey. Breakfast buffet was excellent and Cocktails in the bar were very tasty. Other little touches we liked - the viewing platform, dyson fans in room, cucumber water and the hotel also had a calming fragrance to it! We left feeling very relaxed.
United KingdomBeds were super comfy, room and bathroom were clean and well decorated. Staff were friendly and helpful. Sauna was lovely. Breakfast was great, with lots of options incl for vegetarian and vegan diners: meats and cheeses, cereals with dairy and non-dairy milks, toast, English Breakfast, Danish pastries and fruit.
