Featuring a stargazing observatory on site, this luxury hotel is in an idyllic remote location next to the Rangá salmon river in Hella. The hotel offers wake-up calls for when the Northern Lights appear and turns off all lighting for the viewing experience. Guests can also enjoy outdoor hot tubs and free WiFi. Excellent location. Very friendly staff and the food was awesome. We had dinner and breakfast and both were outstanding. We had two rooms and for one of the room got a free upgrade to the same category as the other one. Excellent, excellent stay.
