Enjoyed the restaurant and super interesting interior. It's a bit odd to have literally 3 cardio machines which have a straight look into the pool area. Both, the pool and the gym area, consequently feels awkward as one inadvertently watches the other ..

Beautiful hotel, loved the solitary location. Great for nearby hikes and the diamond beach as well as the glaciers. Restaurant had really good options for dinner- meat, fish and veggie. Breakfast was well worth it. Rooms - delightful! Robes, picture windows and everything was clean and cosy. We used the wake up call for the northern lights and were lucky to see them. Can’t fault this hotel!

Beautiful hotel with amazing views. It even has its own waterfall. The breakfast buffet is plentiful and dinner delicious. I also enjoyed the sauna and hot tub after hiking on the glacier. Very well located with plenty of outdoor activities nearby. Best hotel I stayed at in Iceland.

My girlfriend and I stayed there for two nights. Loved the secluded location and saw our first sight of faint auroras right from the spa area. It's dark enough to see a sky littered with stars. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant is great and has good enough variations of food for two nights of dining
