Wi-Fi
During my stay at Pollfoss Boutique Hotel & Spa, I noticed that the WiFi left room for improvement. The connection was often weak and slow with reception issues, particularly in the rooms.

While the internet connection wasn't the highlight of my stay, the other amenities and the setting of the hotel more than made up for it. If staying connected is a priority, it might be worth preparing for this aspect of your visit.
