Room was very hot
Pros:

Beautiful area and grounds. Courteous and helpful staff. King room had an amazingly comfortable bed and pillows. Complaints are: even though it was "cold" for our August trip (low 50 F during day) and we had the window cracked open as much as possible; it was impossibly hot in the room at night. No ventilation or AC. Front desk was apologetic but could do nothing but supply a small fan (which then kept us up all night with the noise). Fancy restaurant was.... meh, okay considering the very expensive prices. Kind of disappointed in the experience despite the beautiful place.

Pros:

Warm and welcoming staff! Delicious complimentary breakfast with gorgeous views all around. They even gave us fans for our room since us Americans aren’t used to no AC lol! An excellent hotel over all!

Pros:

Loved that the property was hidden away from the main town but close enough to get to the town for food. Bedding was comfortable and clean. Breakfast area was beautiful but very limited breakfast options for those who don’t eat pork. The eggs were sweet and didn’t taste great. Every other options was a sweet option. Would be nice if they had some potatoes at least and changed their scrambled egg recipe. The boiled eggs were pretty much raw.

Perfect location!
Pros:

Wonderful hotel. Perfect location with plenty of parking. This is the perfect halfway point to Akureryi. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. There also is a restaurant upstairs with a nice view. This is also where breakfast is which had a nice variety throughout the buffet. Staff was friendly as well. Thanks!

Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is very clean and modern, and very well decorated and designed. The area around the hotel is sparsely populated, but the scenery is beautiful and it is close to several nearby sites including waterfalls and the geothermal field. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant was excellent.
