    No fan in the bathroom and heating automatically off from evening through all night, meaning we slept with humid air during all night and clothes were humid as well. Breakfast: very good quantity but low quality

    Spacious room, very good shower, nice location

    Very crowdy, noisy environment, difficult to find a table in the morning in the restaurant.

    Comfy room, very confortable armchairs, good solid mattress, hair dryer with diffuser for curly hair (biiig plus for me)

    Room amenities were minimal. Hair dryer and iron were missing. In-house dining was pretty restrictive in terms of available options. Locationwise it is pretty far away from Vik and the road to and fro needs pretty careful driving.

    The staff, the breakfast and the layout of the hotel were pretty good and comfortable. The prximity of parking close to the room is also an added advantage

    There were too many large groups, and when we opened the room doors, we could hear loud noises. However, inside the room, it was quiet, so we didn't really care. The breakfast area was overcrowded but the food was good with a wide variety of options.

    The hotel's location was fantastic, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. The rooms were well-appointed and comfortable, with modern amenities. We booked 2 rooms and both were amazing. The hotel had essential amenities, including free Wi-Fi, parking, and a well-maintained outdoor area. Considering the stunning location and overall experience, I found the hotel to offer good value for money. The unique setting, attentive service, and delightful breakfast buffet justified the price.

    The room had a weird smell when we entered, although it did seem very clean. Also, there was central heating so we couldn’t change the temperature of the room. However, staff gave us a small heater to accommodate to our needs.

    The hotel was just a short drive from Vik and Dyrholaey viewpoint, which was ideal for our schedule. The breakfast buffet had a great variety of options and tasty food. Would recommend for a short stay to explore some areas in the south coast (e.g., Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, black sand beach, Vik, Dyrholaey, etc.). Friendly and accommodating staff.

    Taking in account that Iceland is expensive I still find that the hotel was overpriced. The hotel is quiet old fashioned and does not have an appealing design.

    The room was super clean and the bathroom had a nice floor heating that with low temperatures is really a great feature. The view from our window was also amazing with the glacier visible at distance. One night we also managed to slightly see the northern lights.

    Reception was supposed to open at 7am to check out but there was nobody there and we had to leave the key behind the desk. Rooms are small and really basic. There was one pillow each and no headboard - not very comfy. Walls are thin and the people in corridors were really loud.

    Location was great - very close to the black sand beach and to Vik. Breakfast was included although there were queues of people waiting for it to open at 7am! We were loading the car to make an early onward journey and couldn't believe how busy the reception was.

    Lack of space for parking, a lot of space reserved for coaches and barely any space left if you arrive late at night.

    Breakfast was really good, the receptionist was very friendly and the check in and out process was very easy.

    Views from the wings are non-existent but I don't think it is a very important issue. The systems of the hotel are flawed as I was charged for a drink that I did not take. When asking for details on when the drink was taken, the reception was unable to provide. Of course they waived off the charge but didn't look very convinced. Charges were also quite expensive per room.

    Stayed in the furthest wing from reception but the rooms and toilet looked new and are of comfortable size. Breakfast was also very very good and there are a lot of different options. Do try all of them if you can. There are also lifts to go to level 2 so that is a huge help.

    Everything was good. Just a very minor detail: there was no towel for the toddler (they prepared a baby cot, but no towels). So we had to use one of our towels for the toddler and later one of us had to use a wet towel. But not an issue anyway, just a minor detail.

    Friendly staff, nice breakfast and good location. The rooms are big and clean.

    There was no bar area to sit. The dining room is full of tour groups and feels like a youth hostel.

    The location was excellent and the gym was beyond what you expect in a hotel. Breakfast selection was good.

    The soundproofing could be a bit better, noise from the hallways travels.

    Depends on what you're after - this is a hotel with many rooms, it does not have the personal feel of other guesthouses nearby. Also, the plates during breakfast are annoyingly small.

    Friendly and helpful staff, good location for nearby sightseeing and a beautiful view of the seashore. The room was comfortable and had most things you would expect in a hotel. The breakfast had a good selection.
