Perfect!
Pros:

Room, food and staff were perfect. Location is 20 min from airport. Our flight was early in the morning thus it was very convenient. Also Blue Lagoon is only 5 mins away. We were able to see northern light here! It was amazing!!

Excellent hotel with first rate service in a great location
Pros:

Really friendly and helpful reception staff. Very comfortable and well furnished rooms with tea/coffee facilities in rooms and in complimentary lounge. Great location as we were visiting the Blue Lagoon on our last night in Iceland as a family group. Didn't know about the Northern Lights wake up call service in advance but used it and was rewarded as we were woken and saw them just before midnight which was a great bonus. Excellent breakfast too and early breakfast for those in our group who needed to get an early flight.

Cons:

It's significantly more expensive than other accommodation options so we only stayed one night but worked in perfectly with our plans.

Great hospitality makes up for suboptimal locale - although very close to the Blue Lagoon.
Pros:

Lovely facility and friendly staff.

Cons:

It is beside a geothermal plant which was a surprise.

Tussen de lava
Pros:

Het hotel, dat vlak bij de luchthaven ligt, biedt ontbijt aan vanaf 4:00u: ideaal dus als je een vroege vlucht hebt.
Vlakbij de blue lagoon. Rustige zitruimte met koffie en thee. Bijzondere omgeving, het hotel lijkt wel deel uit te maken van een lavaveld.

Cons:

Het restaurant is meer een eetcafé en viel, in vergelijking met de andere restaurants in IJsland, wat tegen. Het was er ook vrij druk.
