10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel. Quite limited in terms of menu options in the restaurant, and it is eyewateringly expensive even by Icelandic standards but the location is stunning and the rooms are very nice. The Northern Lights “bar” was a great place to watch the view (and Northern Lignts). We travelled in March and whilst the roads around the hotel were fine and largely cleared of ice the 36 was very tricky to drive. Worth checking the travel news and maybe getting a 4x4 if snow is likely.

6/10 Good

Overall an average hotel really. Based on the reviews and photos we expected a lot more, particularly at that price point. Due to availability for 4 people we had to book one of the more expensive rooms. Again for that price point you’d expect a nice and quiet room. Ours was right under the reception area which was quiet noisy and for some reason particularly around 10pm. Rooms clean and good, pool was great with the kids but it looks much bigger on the photos than it actually is. Breakfast was good, dinner was EXPENSIVE! Definitely milking the remote location. Disappointing that the waitress didn’t tell us that we could also order from the (cheaper) lunch/room service menu. Some of the staff were amazing particularly with our kids. Others didn’t seem like they wanted to be there. Overall a good and average but very pricey hotel. Not living up to the hype created on various social posts.

2/10 Poor

One star for restaurant staff, which did good job during breakfast and dinner. The hotel is outdated and pictures are a frame for a scam. The hotel reminds you of an old nature center / research facility, it is not a 4-Star Hotel and should not be marketed as one.

Love the location, but overall it doesn’t live up to the price. We ordered two lunchboxes to go for 9,000 ISK and got pre-cut cheese sandwiches and four huge apples for two people. It felt like a rip-off. Fish at dinner was great, but housebred was very dry. Also breakfast is not worth it.
