This hotel felt more like a BnB than a hotel. But there are only a handful of hotels here. The remoteness is not an issue anymore either as we saw people from every corner of the world. If you manage to get the view of the lake then it is worth it. They will charge you around Kr300 to get the lake view but hotels.com did not help with their overpowering advertising strategy making all rooms look twice as big in the photos. The number of pictures which you see, there will be twice as many pictures of room with a view than those without, leaving you with an impression that there is a possibility of a room with a view than without. Then, you will notice that the room without a view is dimmed by turning the lights on in the room. This is only a gimmick. It makes you think that you can get at least partial view along with the trees, etc. No. The hotel is facing the lake, the back is facing the mountain. There is room with a view or without, no in between. But if you are paying nearly $300.00 for a night, wouldn't you pay $20 extra to get the view? The hotel is also a bit off beat which is good and bad. Good because it is on a nice jogging trail with amazing photo op. Bad because it is about 15 minutes walk from the center with no directions at all. Other than that the hotel felt like a cardboard box. Food was ok, nothing to write home about. Staff, well, they are friendly depending on who they are dealing with. But their attitude was not based on customer service.
