Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at this hotel and found it to be conveniently located right off the roundabout in Hella, making it a good stop en route touring. The room had a very comfortable bed, but the shared bathroom before the hike was a bit inconvenient. The shared breakfast was tasty but quite small.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very comfortable with a clingy shower curtain, but the shared breakfast was very limited. However, the private tub was a great feature. The service was attentive, with housekeeping, welcome drink, and tour assistance, but lacked details. The location seemed like a temporary setup with portacabin-like buildings, yet convenient for touring routes. The dining options were varied, with a mix of Americanized and Scandinavian food. Overall, a decent option with comfortable beds but a small breakfast selection.
The hotel is conveniently located on the Ring Road, making it a good stop en route touring. The rooms offer very comfortable beds but lack storage space for traveler belongings. The dining options include Americanized food choices, and the facilities are well provided. However, the communal breakfast area might feel small, especially for guests with large suitcases.
The hotel is a convenient stop en route touring, with clean and comfortable rooms. The service is friendly, and the location is central to many beautiful sites. However, the dining experience, although with many options, could be more satisfying. The facilities are well-provided with amenities.
The hotel offers a cozy stay with very comfortable twin beds just like in the pictures. The service was excellent, featuring housekeeping, a nice welcome drink, and helpful tour/ticket assistance. The location felt makeshift but convenient for a stop en route, right off the roundabout in Hella. The dining experience included many different items alongside Scandinavian food, but lacked high-end options. Overall, a pleasant stay with a good value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located in Hella, right off the roundabout, making it a good stop en route with a unique structure. The shared breakfast was very small with Twin beds in the room, but the service was helpful in identifying the best sites. The dining experience offered many different items including organic products, yet with very Americanized food options.
The hotel is a good stop en route touring, with twin beds in rooms before the hike and a hot tub to relax in. The rooms have very comfortable beds, but the price might be a bit high. The dining offers Hungarian beef stew, which is a positive surprise, but the facilities seem average.
