Absolutely unbelievable! The views from the glass cabins is stunning and a completely unique experience. The staff of the main hotel impeccably friendly and the food while pricey is excellent. We can’t wait to be back. Elmar and Steve from Dallas

Glass cabin is nice but small

We stayed one night in the glass cabin. The view is nice but the room is quite small. During day time on a sunny day the room can get pretty warm. One other thing I didn’t realize before the stay was that any small LED lights at night are reflected on multiple glass panels which could be annoying for some. I would opt for a larger suite in the main building next time.

Each night we were able to watch a whale play in the bay with the sun setting behind it with beautiful icebergs. A very mice way to end the day. The hotel is just outside the town but it was easy to get in by taxi or bus.

Virkelig dejligt hotel, al personale meget venligt. Dejligt rent alle steder. Skønt værelse. Eneste minus var at der ikke var dobbeltsenge til rådighed med mindre man bestilte en hytte.
