The hotel offers very comfortable rooms but could use some improvements in terms of layout. The service is accommodating and helpful, although there were some missed expectations.

Overall, a decent value for the money.
The hotel offers huge but very sparse rooms with nice blackout curtains, a quiet ambiance, comfortable beds, and a large bathroom. The service is exceptional, continuously replenishing the continental breakfast buffet and providing helpful information on local sites. The location is ideal for driving from Reykjavik to the North of Iceland, with opportunities for seal watching. The dining experience offers a nice variety attended by staff, but organization could be improved. Overall, the hotel is great for accessing the fjords or exploring the North of Iceland.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel which offers spacious and clean rooms with a great view. The staff was very helpful, especially in providing local information; however, the dining options were a bit basic. The location is ideal for exploring the north of Iceland, and the facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious, quiet, and decent, although the institutional and boxy design might not appeal to everyone. The service was exceptional, with the staff going the extra mile to assist us in various ways. The location was remote yet peaceful, perfect for those looking to have a quiet retreat. The dining options were diverse and catered to different dietary needs, which was a plus. However, the view was partially obstructed by bad weather during my visit, and the room change did not result in the desired river view. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
