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!

Just ok.

Hotel was nice, but definitely some downfalls. Dinner at the restaurant was amazing, but the snack menu at the bar - food was awful. In general the food and drinks were extremely overpriced. The negatives: tiny beds (hard for 2 people to sleep comfortably), and the service (except the restaurant). NO automatic room cleanings unless you request it by 10am. Really? Called down for extra coffee pods since our room hadn’t been cleaned and they told me to go down to reception to get it. Not acceptable hotel service.

They cast themselves as a luxury property, but they are very self service and tack on extra charges for everything. There was no help with luggage. They did not clean our room (they claimed this is because they are "eco-friendly," but they could still have made the beds and taken out the trash they give you dozens of little plastic bottles of shampoo etc which are anything but eco-friendly). They did not even provide a free cup of coffee in the morning. It was fine, but significantly overpriced for the level of service we got.

Lovely hotel in a great setting. Less than 20 minutes from Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. Very friendly staff at check in and at the bar. The restaurant was very nice for both dinner and breakfast - great selection at breakfast including chocolate cake! A little expensive, but no more than Iceland in general. Nice room with twin beds as requested - at the end of a long corridor though so after dinner we were too tired to head to the hot tub and didn't really fancy walking that distance in a dressing gown and slippers (don't let that put you off though...the hot tub/sauna area did look lovely when we went to look in the morning before leaving). Easy check-in and easy check-out. Big car park outside. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it.
