Shocked to have been asked to pay 611.00 for a subpar room that had a view of the parking lot. In Chicago, for this amount of money I would have a hotel room facing Lake Michigan and high end amenities throughout and with a pool.

This was a clean, quiet remote place to stay in the middle of an old lava flow. It was within 1.1 miles of the Blue Lagoon, but otherwise, isolated. It was expensive with no pool, spa, etc. The staff were very nice and helpful.

This is a great place. Rooms were nice and clean. Facilities were nice. Restaurant was very good. Amazing volcanic views. Close to blue lagoon and airport. We unfortunately had to evacuate due to the volcano warning but seems to be routine in Iceland.

The staff in the hotel and restaurant were extremely friendly and helpful. Loved that my room was ready early, and I could go right in. The room was spacious, and the amenities were great (drinks included coffee, tea and sodas) that were included. Also, like that they had a free shuttle to the Blue Lagoon.

We had a unique situation. The road to the hotel was closed due to a recent volcanic eruption. They arranged for us to stay at another great hotel in Reykjavik. They also made sure we had a cot in the newly arranged room for our child. So although we didn’t get to experience the hotel property, we were very pleased with the services we got from them.

The staff acted swiftly, professionally, and with utmost concern for all the customers during the most recent evacuation. They made sure at 1:30 am that we were all accounted for, taken to a safe meeting place, and placed in a motel by 4:30 am. The staff should be commended for making us feel during this stressful volcanic eruption.

Great hotel. Got confused upon arrival as reception is not marked. In fact, it is at the entrance to the restaurant which looks like separate entity. After that, all was great
