Great hotel with a major design flaw.
We were assigned room 101 which is the corner family suite. The room gets a lot of sun in the evening and unfortunately, there are only two very small windows that open partially. The net effect is a room that feels like a sauna. We complained to the front desk immediately upon checking in, but they refused to move us to another room. Their technician was not on site and ended coming to our room 5 hours after we checked in at 10pm only to tell us that there was nothing he could do. The thermostat control was set for 18 degrees C, but the room at 10pm was 24 degrees C. The front desk came and inspected the room and agreed that the room was too hot to sleep in. They sent us 3 small USB operated desk fans which were totally ineffective. I guess sometimes compromises need to be made, but at $1,000 per night, I would expect to be able to sleep and not just enjoy the breakfast buffet. If you are traveling during the summer season, and the day is warm, please ensure you are not staying on the side facing the sun in the evening.
Thermostat at 10pm at night, it was a sauna

The hotel is brand new and our one night stay was great with a beautiful view! We had dinner at the onsite restaurant. The menu is comparable to high-end restaurants and our dinner was delicious. Because the hotel is still in its opening stages, they offer one complimentary welcome drink and free breakfast buffet of which the layout is fabulous. Recommend the stay!!

Absolutely outstanding hotel! Great staff, lovely facilities and in the middle of nowhere! The breakfast was an awesome offering in buffet style. Love this hotel and will happily return when we’re next here!

I see geeat potential based on proximity to Skatfell and Glacier lagoon. The view is spectacular and the high ceilings and high end finishes were beuariful. However, at the timw of our visit, the hot tub and/or sauna facilities were not yet complete, there were some flickering lights in the bathroom and the fire alarm went off at midnight. They offered compensatory free breakfast and welcome beverage but honestly, for the extreme luxury price the breakfast should already be included and they will have to improve the offerings within the breakfast. The buffet at the Stracta in Hella was vastly superior in a much simpler hotel. We had dinner there one night and once again the food was ok...but no exceptional. We had the lamb and it was a bit overdone with a sauce on the salty side. This hotel has huge potential...but they arent there yet.
