    I was travelling with my mother and requested a room with step free access. They changed our room from first fllor to ground floor. The room has an excellent view of the glacier. The size is good for 2 people and the staff is helpful.

    A small but cosy and comfortable room in the old wing of the hotel. Spectacular view across the wetlands to the glaciers. The food was very good and the staff helpful.
