The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

A Culinary Delight

I indulged in the three-course dinner option and it was absolutely good! The flavors were rich and varied, and the chef truly knows how to create an impressive dining experience. Breakfast was equally satisfying, with a generous spread that kept me full all day. I highly recommend trying the local dishes!

Unique Cinematic Experience

In the evenings, we watched fascinating films about the history of Pyramiden in the bar area. The comfortable sofas made it a cozy affair, and it was a great way to learn more about the surreal surroundings while relaxing with a drink.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which offered clean and comfortable accommodations. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The location was perfect, close to the beach and local attractions. However, the dining experience left something to be desired as there weren't many breakfast choices. Overall, it was a great value for the price, though I wish Wi-Fi was included rather than an extra charge.
