    Location was perfect for Geysir, Gullfoss waterfall, and Golden Circle. Also amazing for viewing Northern Lights - and they do a wake up service so you don't miss them. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Dinner was decent; breakfast was good. We enjoyed the hot tub too.

    Great location. Clean. Nice breakfast

    10ChristopherPosted on: 9-28-2025

    This is a great choice for a stay in the Golden Curcle. We arrived at the airport at 8:30 am and headed straight into the country. This place as awesome! Perfect place to stay for those who want classy, peaceful, comfortable and close to Gullfoss.

    Nothing- place was perfect.

    It was very close to the Gullfoss waterfall. The breakfast was decent.

    The walls were paper thin. We could hear every single thing in the rooms and we were placed right next to the restaurant. We were woken up repeatedly when people left their rooms in the early morning. The rooms smelled strongly of cleaning fluid and were unpleasant. The rooms were also very hot, despite having the windows open and no heat on. The beds were very uncomfortable. The location was good and it was decently clean. The breakfast was also decent.

    Clean and quiet

    No phone to front desk or fans if needed

    10JenniferPosted on: 6-15-2025

    The room was comfortable, quiet and clean! We were running around Iceland, so we stayed in many hotels on our vacation this one was particularly nice.

    We enjoyed our time in Iceland very much! Everybody was very kind and welcoming.

    Clean,quiet with great location . Very good breakfast , staff was very nice … I would definitely recommend that hotel

    8AnaPosted on: 4-23-2025

    This hotel was on our way to the Golden Circle. It was clean, and the staff was helpful, but the dinner was quite expensive. For breakfast, there were plenty of options. One big plus — we saw the Aurora right from our hotel room!

    10VerityPosted on: 4-23-2025

    Quiet and remote. Very comfortable.

    Very expensive evening meal, but very nice though.
