The hotel has a retro charm with clean and well-kept rooms from the 80s era. The service is lovely, especially with staff going the extra mile to notify guests of Northern Lights sightings. The location offers stunning views on a mossy field but could be closer to East Iceland. The dining experience is a perfect blend of European and Icelandic flavors. The facilities are sufficient but lack hanging options for clothes in the rooms.

The hotel's location is ideal, making it a perfect stop between Reykjavik and the natural wonders we wanted to visit. The rooms are quite basic and not up to typical hotel standards, but they were adequate for our holiday adventure. The service was mainly helpful and gentle, with a slight hiccup from one employee. The dining experience was really good and filling, especially in the restaurant. Overall, a decent stay for the value, with some room for improvement in room amenities.

Staying at the hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The glacier view from the room was breathtaking, though the bathroom felt a bit clinical. The dining options were varied and delicious, but the influx of tourists could be overwhelming at times. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring glaciers and witnessing the Northern Lights, offering a unique and serene environment away from the hustle and bustle of cities.
Rooms

The room with the glacier view was absolutely stunning, but the bathroom with a hospital-like shower design was a bit off-putting. Despite being popular, dinner reservations need to be made early to secure a good time slot. The room size was smaller compared to other places in Iceland.

The hostel was situated in a corner and a bit tricky to access with large bus groups but offered stunning views of the glacier and Icelandic wild nature. Despite the location challenges, the place provided an incredible opportunity to witness the Northern Lights and abundant stars. The dining experience was very good, even though breakfast was a bit on the expensive side for those not used to Icelandic prices.

The hotel offers stunning views of the open countryside, with a bit of walking required to reach our balcony located in the small rotunda of the lobby. The service, although off its game initially, turned out to be one of the nicest experiences with lovely and friendly staff. The location was excellent for continuing our Iceland tour, especially enjoying the ancient lava flow nearby and a vibrant bar area. The dining experience was amazing, particularly the waffles, despite a slight disappointment and extra cost. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing our overall stay.

I had a cozy and peaceful stay at the hotel. The rooms were warm, quite comfortable, and surprisingly quiet. However, it was a bit challenging to adjust the room temperature, and the wet shower area was a downside. The service was nice overall, with some shining moments like the northern lights wake-up service, but some staff seemed a bit disinterested. The location was simply fantastic, surrounded by beautiful views and offering easy access to open countryside. The dining experience was generally good, although meals were a bit on the expensive side typical for Iceland. The hotel facilities were decent, overall delivering a positive experience.
