Rooms were a decent size, beds were quiet comfortable and the shower was great. We went to the restaurant for dinner, the food was delicious but really over priced and very small portions.

Upscale hotel, the upgraded room has spectacular views to glaciers on the bed. The balcony view is even wider and more stunning. We asked yo extending an hour so my wife could draft a couple of paintings, more than we could hope for. After we left and called back to check whether we forgot something in the room, patient and friendly. Definitely want to stay there if we come back again

We enjoyed our stay and the view from the room over the glaciers in the distance was stunning. Staff were super friendly, great food. Great location. Missing one star only because we expected a more chic decor in the common areas for a Foss and the price.

I enjoyed the view from the breakfast room. We made the mistake when we booked that we only paid for an economy room. We didn't realize that this room was tiny, no room to open our luggage and then get to the bathroom. It was also on the 2nd floor with no elevator, not fun when you are on a multi week trip with heavy luggage.

Beautiful property in a fabulous and convenient location. Comfortable beds, though we found the room quite warm for sleeping. Great restaurant. The only reason I’m giving four instead of five stars is the exceptionally high price we paid for our one night stay.

Beautiful views. Got a basement room which was warm. Was hard to move luggage to the room (should have a better arrangement considering that most guests had traveled from international locations). Breakfast was good. Overall a good place.

Hotel is located right of ring road, couldn't ask for better location. The front desk receptionist was very accommodating, kind and professional, fast check-in. We had drinks at the bar and a dinner.in the restaurant. Service was superb. Food was delicious, seafood soup best ever had. It was a very enjoyable evening. It's a new hotel, very modern, very clean, comfortable and we had a very good night sleep. Highly recommend this wonderful hotel and if ever in the area would definitely stay here.
