STUNNING Location and design hotel; simple & very nicely decorated rooms and amazing bar! Pool and sauna amazing, but small. Excellent restaurant : food in the evening very expensive but very good. Same as the hotel.

Kristina, Germany

The hotel is in the middle of nowhere!!! It is a beautiful property, the rooms are comfortable !!

Pilar, Mexico

The hotel is located in a spectacular part of Iceland very near to a network of beautiful hiking trails. The staff were so friendly and helpful and we were greeted on our arrival with champagne. We spent hours in the warm hot spring pool enjoying the view. Our room was comfortable and well equipped. This is a magical Hotel. The restaurant food is delicious though the price of wine is really too expensive so we just didn’t have any. But overall I can’t fsukt this hotel. Peaceful and magical.

I have stayed here before in the winter and it was such a special place and experience. We love the design. We were so excited to replicate the experience in the summer and although we were disappointed with the restaurant and the pool, we still love the design and the rooms.

Dinner at the restaurant was delicious, food was really good

Carolina, France

Great location. Amazing views. Great hiking trails.

David, United States of America

Expected the hotel to feel more remote than it did - this wasn’t helped by the proximity to the power station. However, the food was good & so was the bar.

Carolyn, United Kingdom

The lobby is lovely, and the trip out to the location was breathtaking. The view from the bar is fantastic and the drinks were okay, if a little sweet, which I'm starting to think is due to the Icelander's palates, based on a tour of many of the better cocktail bars in the country. The dinner we had there was quite tasty, albeit pricey by North American standards, which I understand is typical of Iceland, so can't really be surprised by this. Decent storage in the bedrooms.

The last staff who checked me in was very welcoming and nice. She was also very accommodating. She made my day although the hotel service rendered was not quite up to standard.

눉Rooms are really small and there is not much space-Hot spring was really crowded. Since it’s really in the middle of no where, when the weather is poor, you feel stuck in the limited space. I guess it’s only suitable during winter for the northern lights. Summer is not a good time to come

“Beautiful hotel, comfortable room, great staff. Breakfast buffet Average, Thermal Pool Not Working”
- • Leisure trip

눉Breakfast buffet was average; items were empty and we had to ask a few times for the items to be replenished. The Thermal pool water was cold on the evening we arrived and closed the next morning for cleaning. We were told it would be open by 10:00 and when we departed at 14:00 it was still not open - a disappointment.
눇I have stayed here before in the winter and it was such a special place and experience. We love the design. We were so excited to replicate the experience in the summer and although we were disappointed with the restaurant and the pool, we still love the design and the rooms.

눉Rooms are small, bathrooms are minimal, same size and style as all the other hotels we have stayed in Iceland, only at least twice more expensive. And we woke up late, breakfast was over and they had absolutely NOTHING to serve until lunch time (from 10 to 12am). We had to leave earlier and look for a place to eat as we had 2 kids with us. Staff didn’t help at all.

Poor
- • Leisure trip

- • Double or Twin Room

눉The first room we got had a bad smell. We had to ask for another room. The problem is, that there is no ventilation, not even in the bathroom. You can open the window only a little bit. That is not enough to get rid of the dampness (not even in summer!). The shower was week and the temperature of the water changed from cold to warm all the time during the shower. The toilet paper holder was installed completely wrong so it got wet after every shower. The TV was broken (obviously because of the dampness in the room). The room was small, the breakfast is not included. The pool is very small and not very attractive. The area around is boring, it is close to a electricity station, which is not beautiful to me. Probably in winter the view on the polar sky is nice. But in summer, the surrounding seems quite boring. For that price I can not recommend this hotel.

눉Booking a hotel for one night for over 450 euros planning to escape into nature and away from a world of noise and technology only to have the evening relaxing in the quiet bar spoiled by one US couple who felt the need to share with us their family conversation on skype / face time to kids the other side of the world and to hear about brocoli for dinner and other details i don't need to know, then on the other side from us two young girls who were not happy the hotel sound system was not working and decided to play their music through tin pot sounding smart phone speakers. When we raised this to the bar staff and reception desk were told this is Icelandic culture!
눇The bar and view was stunning

“Mostly beautiful facilities, not great value for the spartan rooms and tepid geothermal pool.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉When we arrived, staff didn't tell us anything about the facility, or any trails/activities available to us. They were otherwise quite pleasant, just very passive. The gym was pretty sparse: four machines, a handful of dumbbells, and a small bar with plates but no bench or rack. No windows in the gym either. We went down for a nice soak after a day of kayaking, looking forward to a hot-tub-like experience, but the geothermal pool was merely tepid/lukewarm. Super disappointing. All marketing materials make the place look like it's in the middle of nowhere, like, say, the Fogo Island Inn in Newfoundland, but there's actually a geothermal plant less than 1/2 km away. The rooms were spartan, without much in the way of toiletries . The drain in our shower was completely clogged (how did the prior visitors not mention this?) No (or ineffective) venting in the bathroom, so entire room steamed up with a hot shower, and you could only open one small room window a little bit to assist.
눇The lobby is lovely, and the trip out to the location was breathtaking. The view from the bar is fantastic and the drinks were okay, if a little sweet, which I'm starting to think is due to the Icelander's palates, based on a tour of many of the better cocktail bars in the country. The dinner we had there was quite tasty, albeit pricey by North American standards, which I understand is typical of Iceland, so can't really be surprised by this. Decent storage in the bedrooms.

“Needs improvement on customer service.”

눉1) No luggage service as informed. 2) On 2nd day, due to jet lag my wife and I were awake at 6am. I went to the reception and I was merely asking what time breakfast was served and if not could I buy any food from the hotel. The staff replied me with her “eyes rolled” and replied me in a “frustrated” manner. I was still nice and thank her knowing that it’s probably just a one day stay. 3) Rooms were small for such high room price; I can still live with that if the service rendered were of premium level. I love the people Iceland and would hope that the hotel would better improve on their service standards so as to better cater to other tourist who simply wants a good impression of Iceland and the hotel. Overall I felt that the receptionists during the night and morning were quite on the hostile side but I must applaud and compliment on the lady staff who had me checked in. Upon checking out, she was on shift work and I left with a smile and comforting my wife who was quite taken aback by the bad service from the other staff. This is the first time I have Mark down a hotel. As you can see from all my positive feedbacks for my past stays. Thank you and all the best!
눇The last staff who checked me in was very welcoming and nice. She was also very accommodating. She made my day although the hotel service rendered was not quite up to standard.

눉The food in the restaurant could be much better. Partially used shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, etc. made me feel like it was a bit of a dormitory rather than the quite expensive hotel it is. They should really use the individual mini bottles or have housekeeping refill for each incoming guest.
눇The setting is spectacular. Enjoying the view from the bar with a cocktail is a most memorable experience.
