Hotel common areas are nice enough— couple of large hot tubs outside, a sauna, tiny gym and very nice bar lounge. The included breakfast is good. The room we had was very small and basic for $500 per night. Food and drink expensive even by Iceland standards. The hotel is not super close to anything (about 15 miles or so to glacier lagoon for example). I expected more and usually get it for these prices even in Iceland.

We splurged on the $1000 suite but shower drain was clogged so water got all over the floor. The outdoor hot tub needed to be fully drained and refilled to use as it was cold upon arrival. Lock on door to room needed to be slammed extremely hard in order for it to close otherwise an annoying alarm would sound . Also hotel sauna was broken

Staff very uptight and not accommodating. Property is great in the middle of no where. But expensive. Great views from the rooms. Rooms and amenities are great. Location wise just off the main highway. Food is expensive as hell, but good choices and tasted very good. Great quality Coming with high prices. If you like fine dining with great food, this is the place to stay and eat. Enjoy.

The best hotel in Iceland!!!My family of four enjoyed this hotel and its amenities very much. This was an excellent place to stay after an eight hour hike on a glacier. It’s very close to the glaciers, glacier lagoon, and diamond beach. The rooms for spacious, the beds were very comfortable with nice linens, a well appointed bathroom, etc. The spa area was very relaxing and spotless. The free breakfast buffet the next morning was by far the best we’ve had while in the country. It’s a little pricy, BUT everything is in Iceland. After staying there, it’s worth every penny.

The hotel overall was nice...though the staff was just so terribly insulting, deceptive and rude that I couldn't rate this hotel positively. At breakfast I asked a waiter for aluminum foil and showed him my bread from home (one would conclude I need to wrap a sandwich). His response "let me ask the chef". He came back with the foil and I made my sandwich. I took an avocado out of my bag, used smoked salmon from the buffet and then wrapped it up - at which point says to me "Should I charge that to your room?" Excuse me? He pointed to a tiny little card on the table that listed if you take food you are charged a fee. Hmm, so you 'went to ask the chef' and rather than telling me about this charge you waited until I was done making the sandwich to tell me. The card on the table is tiny. As I'm nearing 40 and was the youngest in the room - there is zero chance anyone in this room can see this small card on the table. I felt tricked and manipulated. We had some words as I said he should have told me when he brought the foil - he responded "so give me back the salmon" - he wanted me to take apart my sandwich and give him back salmon with my spread avocado all over it - to then what?! Put it back in the buffet?!??! Words to this hotel - 1. If you want to maintain this rule, that is fine - put up a sign, and with large words that people can see 2. Train your employees to not be jerks and trick the guests 3. Maybe just don't hire jerks so you skip the above training

The food was amazing. They must have a great chef. The room was warm - would have liked to be able to cook it down but only one small window. The hot tubs were fun especially in the 40 m/hr winds one night!

Liked the dining experience and food at dinner, drinks at happy hour. Didn’t like the wait til 3:20pm for our room to be ready to check-in. Didn’t like the fitted bedsheet in the larger bed having bumpy pilling on it, some of the pilling bumps were dark. Didn’t like that we didn’t find a thermostat to regulate temperature in the room. Didn’t like the noise from a group of people loudly talking in the hallway outside our room for hours, with kids running back and forth in the hall. Finally they left the hall at 11:30pm and we could get to sleep.
Fitted bedsheet with bumpy pilling.
