very nice; recommend for short-term stay if not interested in golfing ... ;-)
Pros:

great & convenient location when traveling 'long-distance' in Iceland; very nice breakfast; we had a very late-evening dinner due to late arrival, and still experienced great service and excellent food

Cons:

the restaurant was a bit noisy, the large room with many tables did not provide much "noise damping" so conversations from bigger and fully occupied tables could be widely heard

Pros:

The location and views are great. We lived in the small separate house and it was super comfy. They have a tiny gym with 2x dumbbells of 3, 5 and 12.5 kg, rowing machine, bench and a bike - which is not much, but we have found that a gym in Iceland hotel is a rare feature. The hottubs are nice and for the houses there is a separate tub, so you don't have to go to the main hotel. And if the sky is clear you can see aurora, magical.

Cons:

The food is not good, unfortunately. We tried a few dishes at the restaurant and none but for the lobster soup was good.
