Staff highly incompetent

Their systems were off-line upon check-in. Despite showing the receipt and booking confirmation they made my employee pay before allowing checking, despite knowing the fault is on their end and trouble shooting or just re-check in the following morning, which would be normal practise. When the system was online the following day, the refund took 3-4 days. Furthermore, laundry service was requested. After following up numerous times and being assured it will be ready on time, when the time actually came for the laundry to be required back, they said it was never sent in.

Incompetent staff

Not only were their systems pff line to check and validate the booking and payment upon arrival, despite showing the receipt and booking confirmation, but then they also compelled my employee to pay for the first night stay, before they would book him in. The system was back the following and they processed the refund only 3 days later. Then he booked in washing, which not only forgot to send into the cleaners, but kept on saying it will be ready on time. But then it was later the following day as well, not meeting deadlines they provided, multiple times this causing crisis management for clothes.

Fire and Ice Hotel on "Fire".

After confirming 3 times that I wanted 2 rooms next to one another or closeby, I was still given the opposite. It was only corrected the next day which was rather inconvenient. Besides that inconvenience I found the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The Hotel was spotless at all times. We had three light meals at the hotel and really enjoyed them tremendously. Compliments to the chef! The sweetie jar at reception was also a winner. Everyday something else.

My stay is generally okay for anyone who will spend most of their time outdoors.The rooms are small though well designed with a flat screeen tv,fridge and hot kettle.The shower was great! The beds were comfortable but the pillows were terrible.They also do not have iron boxes incase you need one. It’s ideal for adventurous and younger individuals/couples I also didn’t like that they didn’t have curtains so sleeping past 5 am is impossible as the light comes right through! The location is great in a quiet place
