The hotel was surrounded by absolute beauty. We stayed in the cabin as a couple, which was perfect and romantic. It is also big enough for family. The hotel breakfast was plenty and delicious as well.

Stayed two nights in one of their economy cabins and loved the accommodations. Very charming & convenient for a solo traveller. One critique would be that I happen to have been placed in the only “dated” cabin. From the exterior, the others did appear to have been updated. Still, I enjoyed the accommodations. But I’m curious to know what the others were like.
Staff were friendly & courteous.
Breakfast was great and offered both hot & cold options, which were perfect before a day of exploration.

Excellent and best included breakfast options by far in Iceland! Hot tubs were very useful after a tiring day hike and it felt heavenly.
Very large spacious rooms and a good sized bathroom.

Wonderful stay. My wife and I booked a last minute trip to Iceland, this hotel popped up as available. The hotel tucked back in some wilderness made us feel as if we were home in Michigan. We loved it. Staff was wonderful as well.
