I really wanted to love this hotel, but I feel like a pictures don't represent what I experienced in person. The hotel is really remote, but is right next to a power station that keeps its lights on all night. I originally thought this was the issue of the light streaming into our room at night, but turned out to be the hotel lobby light. When I mentioned this to the staff, their answer was that’s what the black out curtains were for. I was under the impression they were for Iceland's long summer days? Overall it gave me the impression they don’t really take into consideration people’s experience there. I wish instead of spending the money to expand they would update what already exists. We didn't know renovations were taking place and did not have a great first impression upon arriving. Overall half of the hotel feels dark and outdated including our room. Our bedroom and bathroom were not represented in the ones pictured. And on top of that bathroom shower just felt like it never got hot enough. I’m glad we made reservations for dinner because the restaurant was at capacity and I could see people waiting in the lobby for tables to open. Despite my feelings about the hotel itself, our dinner was delicious. If you do stay here request a room on the other side of the hotel away from the plant and as far away from the restaurant as possible to ensure the least light pollution and the most privacy. Make dinner reservations and plan to use the spa at sunrise when it’s quiet.

I enjoyed the solitude of the stay, it was very relaxing. The bar is beautiful with large windows and very good drinks. I love the remoteness of this hotel and the hot spa outside was delightful. I felt it was a touch overpriced, especially since no food or drinks were included, and the menu was very pricey. Other than that, it was lovely.

My girlfriend and I stayed for two nights. On the first night we arrived, it was around 10 PM. This was after a long, 2 hour drive from Reykjavík, since the hotel is located at a remote location. Upon arrival, the hotel desk asked for our passports, she immediately said, “I hope you’re not hungry, because our kitchen is closed”. This was a very unfriendly way to greet customers, as she could’ve said that our kitchen is closed but we can offer snacks, etc. Then, on the second day, I asked the staff, if I could purchase a cake or some pastary for my gf’s birthday and be placed in our room after returning in the evening. They said that they could only offer the pastry without writting a simple Happy Birthday. When we returned to the hotel, to my disappointment, not only I did not find any cake or pastry, but our room was not even cleaned. They do have a nice outdoor hot bath and sauna. Which is quite nice, but overall, it was a disappointing experience!

Run the other way!

Pros: The hotel bar was the most visually stunning aspect of the hotel.
Cons: The pictures on the website could be more representative of what the hotel actually looks like.
Location: It is very remote. There is nothing closeby.
This hotel was supposed to be the highlight of our honeymoon to Iceland. Once we saw the website, we were sold, and splurged on a room. It was a disappointment from the moment we drove up the driveway and realized it was next to a geothermal plant. The facade of the hotel was quite plain, and I would never have given it a second glance if we were just driving by. The hotel room was small, and the windows were open when we arrived. As a result, huge mosquito-like bugs were flying around the room. This was the only hotel in our 10 day stay in Iceland that had water that smelled intensely sulphuric. Our bathroom did not have any ventilation, so the entire room would smell like sulphur for hours after a shower. Food at the restaurant was good but way overpriced. Honestly, we were more impressed with cheap guesthouses in rural areas than this hotel. Save your money and go elsewhere.
