Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely worth it! The rooms were more spacious than what I expected in Iceland, and although there was a mildew smell that came and went, the remarkable views from the balcony overlooking the glacier made it all worth the expense for me.
The hotel offers stunning views of the mountains from cozy and comfortable rooms, though located somewhat isolated. The service is helpful and informative, but with a few finishing issues. The dining experience exceeds expectations with a good variety of dishes. The facilities are well-equipped and maintained.
The hotel offers a stunning location close to the black beaches and several glaciers. The rooms are in need of renovation and uncomfortable due to small size and lack of cleanliness. The service was friendly and accommodating. The dining options were plentiful but expensive. The surrounding views are breathtaking.
