    The views were incredible and staff was very nice. Breakfast was very good and it was an easy drive to Hofn from the hotel, where we went to have an amazing dinner at Pakkhus (highly recommend).

    The room was tiny. The dinner was good but extremely expensive, the most expensive meal we had in Iceland. Good breakfast

    The location is so beautiful! From our suite, we had views of both glaciers and waterfalls. The restaurant is also excellent.

    The view was breathtaking. It is definitely not in a city - but the views were worth it. We had a delicious dinner at the hotel (expensive) but great quality - and again there isn't really anywhere for you to go near by. Recommend making...

    View of the glacier at sunset followed by the Northern Lights was a highlight! Easy to get outside and away from lights to view the Northern Lights. The food was delicious.
