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.

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.

We surprisingly got upgraded to suites on the ground floor. The room was huge with two walls of windows looking out to the mountains. They were understaffed but the staff that works there was working very hard and were very nice. It is a little far from the glacier. I couldn't figure out the weird glass hallway at first but it is the perfect place to see the Northern lights.

The workers were lovely, the dinner food was good, the bar had good options and outdoor area was nice, but nothing special about their breakfast. The most disappointing was the room. Odd layout with a sink and high counter in the main room outside the shower with a bar stool. The room was so hot when we arrived we had to leave for a while. They finally brought a fan but it didn't do much good due to the high ceilings. Luckily we had outdoor plans so we were not in the room much.
