“A very good hotel”
Location: Almost on the Ring road. Ample parking space. Oil station and supermarket were nearby. It was by the lake with beautiful mountain view. Nice staff. I was reminded of the booking when the date was near. Lake view room was spacious enough with coffee machine. Buffet breakfast with many choices and fruits was served.
