The breakfast wasn’t free. It was good but could have had more options. The hot tub was nice but wish the wall wasn’t there. Enjoyed the Northern Lights wake up call. Restaurant for dinner was good.

We stayed here so that we could easily visit Diamond Beach and hike the nearby glacier. While in a remote location, this hotel is excellent. The breakfast is brilliant, and the availability to have a takeaway lunch from th breakfast buffet is a real lifesaver. The restaurant food is brilliant too, and the small shop area in the lobby is great if you need to pick something up. All the staff are lovely! Can't fault this hotel!

I stayed at this property specifically in hopes of seeing the northern lights and that dream became a reality during my stay. The hotel is located in the middle of nowhere but has all the amenities to make your stay comfortable. I stayed only for one night and had dinner at the restaurant which was very delicious. I didn't have the breakfast because I left early the next day but the room was very clean, modern and had large windows to see outside. There is a waterfall nearby that you can see and it's a short drive from the glacier lagoon and diamond beach.

Check in was very easy . Although there is both a steep ramp and several stairs to go from the road to the reception area, there is also a nice ramp for wheelchairs, etc. The receptionist was knowledgeable and friendly. The room was very spacious, with views of the ocean. Beds were very very comfortable. There Is an open closet with a refrigerator and a safe. There is a portable fan in the room. Bathroom was immaculate with very nice fixtures. Towels were large and thick/luxurious. The electrical outlets were located by the desk. I did not see any USB outlets so you will need to bring the appropriate chargers and cables for your devices. Staff are wonderful, and appear to have varying backgrounds. It's a nice international flavor. The wifi is very good. I did measure their wifi reception as follows: Upload 46 MBPS and download 70 MBPS in my room. There no restaurants in the surrounding area so you are bound to the hotel's restaurant. The food at the restaurant was, bytheway excellent. We rented a vehicle in Reykjavik and drove out here. The hotel will notify you if the Aurora Borealis is present: you have to sign up for this, and the service is free. We were treated to several spectacular Northern lights shows. We watched them from the hotel's parking lot as well as from the grounds on the side nearest to the ocean. The northern lights display was the highlight of our 3 week trip to this area of the world. There's very little ambient light so it was easy to see the

You are about an hour from any town which means you will likely have to eat at the hotel. The meal was fantastic so no complaints about that.
