Nice people nice place

Sightseeing in the area. The couple that own/run the property are lovely, and very helpful. They have a picturesque hot spring adjacent to them that is for guest use. Views from hotel are amazing in all directions! Breakfast included was key!

This place is great! The food in the restaurant was spectacular and there are so many amenities to enjoy. I swam laps in the pool and my husband enjoyed the hot tub. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Best hotel ever

Last minute booking. Once I arrived, I didn’t want to leave. The staff were amazing!!! The hotel was so comfortable and I felt at home. The staff even helped me out with some hot water and a spoon so I can eat something before bed time. Love this place.

Hotel staff was very good and very supportive. They accommodated and helped with everything. Hotel has new building and old building so my response here is based on staying at old building. Room was too old, things were bit broken and it gave the feeling where nothing was updated or changed for years. Room were spacious but old furniture and space didn't help at all same with bathroom.

Clean and comfortable. Our room lacked bedside charger outlets and a tea kettle. It faced the parking lot on the ground floor and also lacked privacy. Otherwise quite nice.

The hotel has a ton of great communal spaces (a lounge, a game room, a relaxation room, and a hall connecting to the pool next door). Great place, and quiet!

Loved this place - has everything you could ever need. Literally has a game room and relaxation room with massage chairs. Full dining options, several beautiful, large communal rooms. Heated pool and the killer hot spring complete with Viking style changing house. Total Icelandic package in one stay - 10/10

Amazing location, poor stay

If the main objective of a hotel is a place to sleep this hotel failed. Incredibly noisey hotel with doors banging all night due to the shared facilities. We checked out a day eairly and stayed at another hotel.
