Very nice hotel with friendly staff. The room was large and up to date. The bar in the lobby was also very nice and the bartender was fun to talk to.

Emily United States of America

The location is close and accessible to the nearby attractions. Comfortable beds and a sauna to relax in. They have Happy Hour to enjoy a drink and the beautiful view!

Lynn United States of America

Views from the dining area are magical. Beautiful property in the middle of no where. Loved it for day trip to Husavik (did whale watching and puffins tour), Abysir Canyon, and Detifoss. Great base.

Lani United States of America

Surijawati Indonesia

Situated on top of a hill, the hotel was very modern, chic and centrally located. The view from the dining area is a sight to see! the rooms are very clean, plenty of storage space, spacious, comfortable bed and linen, and available toiletries for convenience. The spa is a plus available for their guests!

Thea United States of America

They have a phone alarm for northern light sighting. Loved it.

Rajeev United States of America

I love the breakfast buffet! So many options and delicious. They even had oat milk for your cereal! The rooms were very big. They were heated too much for my taste but luckily there was the option to open the window. We stayed during a snowstorm so luckily it was a nice retreat.

Rebecca United Kingdom

The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and appreciated all of the amenities - loved the towel warmer in the bathroom! The view of Lake Myvatn was beautiful too.

Elaine United States of America
