Coffee in the morning comes from a machine. If you want a cappuccino you pay extra.

The location is stellar. We had a room with view of the (frozen) lake. The hotel is sitting on a hill, so you could see the aurora easily if the weather had cooperated. The staff does give you wake-up calls for the Northern Lights! Dinner was wonderful, even if the menu is limited, and very expensive. We had the Blue Ling and the prawn ravioli.

We drove over the mountain through a white-out blizzard and were thankfully able to check in a little early. Staff were super-helpful and we felt very welcome. Drove back to Hverir once the storm cleared and that was cool. Came back to an aurora alert in the evening and a comfy sleep once the adrenaline wore off. Clean, modern hotel in a great location. Loved the window-seat for watching the lights.

Stayed 3 nights on our ring road, road trip. Great base. As March, we had a couple of snowy days but still able to get around. Had breakfast all 3 days, really good start to each day. Ate in the restaurant on our 1st night, great food. Also saw the aurora Borealis.... wonderful experience.

The washbasin was more like a fingerbowl. The 2 single beds were clearly meant to be pushed together for a double. My bed was pushed up against a wall and the pillows concealed the light switches so I had to be sure I moved down the bed in order not to switch the lights on! The room was very warm, so we left a window slightly ajar to get some sleep. For those who like a Continental breakfast the quality of meats was not very good and less choice of nuts and fruit to have with your yoghurt compared to our previous hotel in Akureyri.

Amazing location fantastic views. We were lucky to see the Aurora that evening. It's close to Lake Myvatn and the thermal springs Nice bar area and dining area. Evening meal was very good, we ate ling, excellent.GF issues accommodated Also close to Dettifoss falls and Godafoss falls which were amazing. For those who love an English cooked breakfast, you can get that here. GF bread available on request

Wanted a little piece of luxury in the middle of nowhere to unwind, hopefully see some Northern Lights and see a little more of Iceland at our leisure during the day. That's what we got - extremely dark skies, very comfortable hotel, and in an exceptionally pretty setting. The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom spacious and the shower hot. Really liked the underfloor heating in the bathroom. Breakfast was very good (and you could help yourself to as much as you liked), and I really liked that there was seating all around the hotel, facing in any direction you could want. I loved the design of the hotel - beautifully simple, low to the ground and you didn't feel like you were on top of the other guests. My only criticism (and it was because it was one of the reasons I booked this hotel) is that the Northern Lights wake up call is only up until midnight when I'd understood it was an all night thing. As it happened, it worked out fine for us, and we saw the lights before midnight, but it could have been very sad if they'd come after midnight! And it's only a criticism because I didn't think this was made clear (and I was specifically looking for this feature). We went in the middle of February and the snows came hard while we were there, but because it's only a little way off route 1, it was no problem to drive to - one of the reasons I booked this place. Would definitely recommend.

All was good, thank you.

Friendly and welcoming staff, delicious Icelandic food in restaurant and for breakfast. Northern lights call, perfect location, a little out of town. Saw the lights, amazing, thank you. Great views from every window. Could open windows and temperature control in room and bathroom. Very modern.

We really enjoyed our stay. While the room was small, we didn’t need anything more. It was spotlessly clean and had a nice bathroom with excellent hot water for showers. The views from our room and common areas were vast and stunning. Breakfast was really good each day. Staff were very kind and helpful. The northern lights wake up call is such a great perk! They knocked on our door to alert us to the lights, allowing us to relax but also see the aurora for the first time ever- very exciting and a beautiful experience! The location was convenient for visiting so many sights in the area. We would definitely stay again.

Would have been a nice view for the norther lights if not for the overcast. The kitchen was top quality. Way fancier than I was expecting. Would 100% stay here again.

There was no wifi password. I didnt want to connect to the wifi for that reason.

the staff was very professional and welcoming. The restaurant inside the hotel was exceptional. The room was nice, a luxurious bathroom. the view went out to the hillside. the hotel is very close to the beach, you can walk there easy. Overall I really enjoyed my stay here.

Liked everything! The remoteness was magical. Good excellent. Only problem for any British person is the price of beer!

Beautifully situated away from more noisy areas and the perfect place to view northern lights. Restaurant was excellent also. Rooms are a bit small and need a little polish for their age, but comfortable all the same.

The restaurant had limited hours and was a little pricey which is normal but sad. Not a lot of other options around to eat so I wish they maybe had another place in the hotel to eat at - less fancy one

Starting by the location - the hotel is by the lake with nothing around besides nature, absolutely beautiful. The room was very clean and the bathroom was HUGE. I absolutely loved the big window with a gorgeous view.

Lovely staff and room. Really liked the touch of putting your name on a list on check-in to have a wake up call when the northern lights were active. Amazing views of the northern lights and very good value for money. Breakfast was lovely, great variety, something for everyone.

Restaurant for dinner too pricey.

You can see northern lights from the hotel.
