Worth the detour
Out of the way and all the better for it. Fresh cod for dinner, silent night, and a view that made us stay an extra day.

The bed alone is worth it
I've slept on 200+ hotel mattresses and this was top three. Add the view and the breakfast and it's a no-brainer return.

Best direct booking decision
Booked through Stofa and saved 22% versus Booking. Same room, free upgrade at check-in, and a handwritten welcome note. Why would anyone use an OTA again?

Perfect location, perfect staff
Five minutes from the main square but quiet enough to sleep. The concierge booked us a last-minute glacier walk that turned out to be the trip highlight.
