The hotel is very nice. The breakfast was great. It has incredible views but best of all, on my two nights I was able to see some of the best Northern Lights from the parking lot. The hotel is a bit far from other places so that helped a lot to see the northern lights. I would definitely stay at the hotel again. The girls at the reception and the bar were too kind. I give them a 10/10

Wai Yee

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I’ve requested a clean room with better view. Though no guarantee, how come the reception arranged a room with a metal scaffold outside the window without prior notification & my consent ? I found this when I checked the room. The way out is to get curtain down throughout the stay. Next morning, workers on the scaffold made peace and quiet gone. Repair is necessary but downgraded my room charging at the same room rate, ridiculous!! A male staff who looks like the Manager, was rude. He pointed to me to instruct me stop photo taking capturing other guests. Again, ridiculous!! There were so many guests that day, that means no picture or he should help clear the venue for guests who need photo taking? This hotel was the poorest one in my Iceland trip for 12 night-stay. THE POOREST!

Disliked: Room comfort
Awkward room design
Hotel room was a weird design. The toilet/sink on one side and the shower only on the other side where the office area was. This means you leave your toiletries on one side and take a shower on the other side and walk out in your towel into the office area! It was very cramped for me & my husband and were not large at all. I would not stay here again. Location was nice but had to drive about 15 minutes to eat out. The hotel restaurant had limited selection and average price for entree was about $48 USD.

Beautiful, New, & they Do Laundry
Our View could see a Waterfall, in the nearby Mountain on one side, & the next morning the Glacier was Visible from the other side when there was Clear Skies! We did a load of laundry, & it was Handled with Care! Loved this service, & the Front Desk Lady!! Wish I would have saved her name. The Food is Delicious, & just like the rest of Iceland… a little Expensive. The Hoffel Hot Tubs are a short drive, & were a Nice end to our Long Day of Hiking. We would stay here again!
