Very nice hotel!! Excellent dinner and breakfast!!
IsraelThe hotel looks new. Rooms are comfortable, the shower was fantastic. The girl in the reception was very helpful and friendly. It’s possible to rent bicycle and tour around the lake (but be aware that it can be difficult if it’s windy outside). Breakfast was excellent (one of the best I had in Iceland).
