Hotel was nice but the rooms were extremely hot and there was no way to cool them down. We opened the small window and the room was filled with bugs that bit us all night. It was tough to sleep both nights with it being so hot and no way to cool the room down. A few people we talked to at the hotel had the same issue. It was cold outside but the hotel faces the sun and its all windows.

Check in was good, however the guy. Checking us in mentioned our breakfast option would take place on upper floor next morning We were sure we had booked breakfast when booking room When we arrived for breakfast were told no breakfast option booked for our room Rooms were great, although a shower mat for a slippery wet tiled floor would be a good idea Enjoyed our Expedia upgrade drinks in the bar Ordered a bar meal , which took forever, but bar server gave us discount for late delivery Nice hotel in a very remote area

Rooms have Big windows facing the mountains on one side (for the northern lights) or ocean view on the other side - makes both sides winners! Hiking trail to baby waterfall next to property also a highlight. Sauna and hot tub are lovely bonuses. Bfast food was excellent. Restaurant Staff was understanding when i complained about the salty soup and argued for the refund that the waiter said that Icelandics don’t do, apparently.

Great hotel on the Ring Road

Great stay at this popular hotel. We used their Northern Lights wake-up call service which was very helpful. We saw the lights without having to stay up for hours waiting. Breakfast was amazing!

Wow! What an amazing stay from start to finish. We got the #VIPACCESSEG so a free upgrade to an ocean view room where we saw the northern lights perfectly from the window while INSIDE our room! It was epic! The staff were all kind, on top of it and informative. They went the extra step for us. The hot tub and sauna with relaxation area was a huge plus for us to relax after long days hiking or exploring. The lobby is actually one you want to hang out in and there are tons of spots to hang out or relax. Just absolutely wonderful! Beds were great too!
