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.

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!

Hotel very clean. Beds very hard but most are in Iceland. Breakfast was typical Icelandic but included. Very windy at this location. At the end of a large Fjord.

This place is very remote and one step up from camping but the furniture is old and the beds were uncomfortable. The nearby pool was nice.

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.

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

They originally had us in a room with a shared bathroom even though we paid for a standard room. They quickly and happily rectified. The room was great, clean and modern. Staff was friendly and the access to the hot springs was a great amenity.

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.

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.

Would be really nice if it was a bit cleaner
The building is a renovated old school, where the front half is clean and new, and back half is a dilapidated dormitory. The pool was nice and the historica hot spring was neat (pictured). The restaurant was also nice.
My room however was not clean, and filled with many files, which bit me when i tried to sleep. There were also a lot of drunk young men wandering the halls shouting at me, which was unnerving. It felt like a college dorm. The shared showers were not cleaned.
To the hotels credit, the staff did send a janitor to get the flies.
