The hotel decor may be a little dated, but this is a very comfortable, homey place to stay. Our room was huge with a view of craters along the lakeshore. Excellent varied menu at hotel restaurant. Lots of eating options at breakfast buffet. Slept like a dream here. Sorry to leave.

Virginia United States of America

The hotel is located in an amazing location next to the lake with excellent scenery, the breakfast was very nice, the room was very comfortable staying there for 3 nights, and I definitely wanted to stay a bit extra.

Idan Israel

There were two bathrooms in our one room. It was odd but very convenient! Nice view from the window. The restaurant had really good food. We tried two different pizzas which were both unique but excellent.

Marie United States of America

We really like the area. It is just beautiful! The hotel staffs were so nice and professional. They were just ready to help any time. We regretted that we could not stay a bit longer. Restaurant on site was just wonderful. This is the place we will definitely come back and this is the total we will stay. We highly recommend the hotel and the area is a must visit if anyone comes to visit Iceland. The bonus I got from this visit was I got very luck having some Northern Lights photos!
