Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a lovely area, surrounded by beautiful snow-capped mountains, offering a charming ambiance. The rooms are equipped with comfortable beds, good block-out curtains, and big windows that provide a stunning view. However, I had some trouble finding our reservation initially and the welcome drink was missing, but the tours and ticket assistance made up for it. The on-premise restaurant served traditional regional homemade products, which was a delightful culinary experience. The facilities were well-maintained, although prices felt a bit high for the overall value received.
The hotel is situated in a beautiful setting close to the glacier, offering a lovely view and all the comfort you need. However, to reach the restaurant, you have to exit outside, which can be a bit inconvenient. With a 30-minute drive to the glacier, the location offers a unique experience.
