This is a luxurious hotel in a very remote location. The views were beautiful. The breakfast was outstanding and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner in the restaurant, as well.

Carla United States of America

Staff was very friendly. I forgot a pair of ear buds in the room and they called and emailed asking if I'd like to pick them up or have them mailed to me. They very kind. Room was very clean, shower was nice. And breakfast was delicious as well.

Diana United States of America

This is a luxury hotel. The location is out on a point all by itself. It has a postcard view from all sides. The restaurant is some of the best fine dining I have had.

David Canada

The breakfast buffet was really good, it had a large variety. Our room was cozy and comfortable with an amazing view of the mountains around us!

Zoey United States of America

This was the best place I stayed at during my entire trip through the Ring Road. I booked last minute and got a great deal, but this place exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the rooms were huge by European standards. They felt comfy, clean, and had a built-in cushion bench next to the HUGE window in the room, perfect for keeping an eye out for the northern lights. The room also had various types of lighting, which made the room more romantic, a nice touch.
