Beautiful property in a fabulous and convenient location. Comfortable beds, though we found the room quite warm for sleeping. Great restaurant. The only reason I’m giving four instead of five stars is the exceptionally high price we paid for our one night stay.

Beautiful views. Got a basement room which was warm. Was hard to move luggage to the room (should have a better arrangement considering that most guests had traveled from international locations). Breakfast was good. Overall a good place.

The view from the property is amazing. We counted at least three different glaciers easily viewable from the back patio, which provides outside seating with really jaw-dropping scenery all around. The staff was friendly, and the meal we had on the property (dinner) was excellent. There is a thermal bath (Hoffel Baths) right up the road that was a treat for having a drink and enjoying a view of one of the Vatnajokull glaciers. We really enjoyed our stay at this place (happy hour especially) and would return here if driving the ring road again.

Hotel is located right of ring road, couldn't ask for better location. The front desk receptionist was very accommodating, kind and professional, fast check-in. We had drinks at the bar and a dinner.in the restaurant. Service was superb. Food was delicious, seafood soup best ever had. It was a very enjoyable evening. It's a new hotel, very modern, very clean, comfortable and we had a very good night sleep. Highly recommend this wonderful hotel and if ever in the area would definitely stay here.
