This hotel is one of my favourite places to stay in Iceland. The room was quite spacious, the beautiful spa facilities meant we could relax after a long time of being in the car. We’ve stayed here twice now and would definitely come back should we return to Iceland. The lake behind the hotel is beautiful and we were lucky enough to see the northern lights there! Amazing place, definitely recommend.

Newly renovated room with modern finishes. Good view of the lake. Loved the heated floor in the bathroom and the little extra touch of makeup remover wipes. Breakfast was a wide spread of different options and delicious.

The property was great. The only thing was that there was a barn right next to the property and the smell of manure was strong. This meant we could have the window open to let in fresh air when we were sleeping.
