Warm and welcoming! They have a great common room where you can sit and enjoy the amazing views. Coffee and tea are available 27/7. Breakfast was full of variety - fresh breads, fruit, cereals/granola, butter, jams, Nutella, and peanut butter, cheese and ham. **For a small fee you can pack your own lunch from the breakfast supplies!! Fresh cookies and giant cinnamon rolls available for purchase. Staff was outstanding.

Good pit shop on our ring road itinerary. Breakfast was good and family room size was decent. Enough bathrooms. Having tea and coffee available 24x7 is a big plus. It’s 7km out from city center so u do need a car.
