    There were several flies in the room which was unpleasant. The price was quite high (335 per room per night), but considering it was August and near Vík’s great location, staying one night was acceptable.

    Great location near the black sand beach with beautiful views. The room was spacious, and staff were very friendly and accommodating — let us borrow a fridge and freezer. Breakfast was nice, and free parking was a big plus.

    There was no hot water after 10 p.m. !!!!!!! We really did not appreciate it, because it was quite expensive room.

    Perfect location with stunning views on iceberg or sea. Big and comfortable beds.

    The place in general looked a little worn. The breakfast was so-so. We also expected a more intimate, smaller hotel, but we were surprised by how expansive this was. Not necessarily a bad thing but nevertheless it felt a little jarring in an otherwise secluded area.

    The view from the hotel was wonderful. The room was big.

    I thought the hotel was a bit more expensive than the others we booked and I was disappointed that the room didn't have blackout curtains.... given that there are 18+ hours of daylight in Iceland in the summer.... especially for the price of the rooms....

    Loved the location of this hotel and the views were amazing...plus it was very close to lots of activities on the south coast of Iceland....

    As ever with Iceland it's all so expensive for what you get. The rooms are on the basic side. Some of the decor was tired.

    The hotel is nicely set up for large tour groups, but as independent travelers we felt a bit out of place. The dinner buffet, while all well prepared, didn’t reflect Icelandic food the night we were there.

    The room was comfortable as were the beds. The staff were helpful, though seemed a bit rushed at times. Just to know, this hotel hosts a lot of tour groups.

    The setting is interesting. Nice view of the valley and ocean, and of the ice capped mountain behind. But our ground level room had a window looked at the back of the kitchen and an unimproved gravel lot. The window opened a bit, but since we were on the ground floor we couldn't leave it open. Breakfast was institutional, nothing special. No additional facilities like a pool or hot tub, nor a quiet bar.

    A good hotel, but nothing special other than its location near Vik and the regional sights. It seems as if the hotel's primary clientele is tour groups arriving on buses. The dining room was huge in order to accomodate large groups. Breakfast was fine, but not memorable. The room was large and clean, with a very good bathroom and shower (incluidng heated floors), and the beds were comfortable. It was also extremely quiet which made for good sleeping. The hotel made up a simple breakfast box for us since we had to depart before the dining room was open.

    We had a great experience here. Gorgeous views and location, a bit of a drive to Vik but not too far. The staff were lovely. Food was good - dinner was pricey, but this is standard in Iceland. The room was a good size and comfortable - and the curtains were black out which was amazing, given the late sunset and early sunrise (and a toddler who only sleeps in darkness!).

    Rooms seem a bit old school and showers have the half glass design where some water can make it into the rest of the bathroom. For the price we paid, it didn't seem worth it. No fridge or microwave included in the room given the size of it if it's something you needed.

    Location is close to Vík and other nearby sites. A welcome place to stay after a long day of sight seeing and driving. Breakfast was very good and the hotel offered a paid packed lunch of sandwiches, fruit, juice, and chocolate bar for eating on the go. Staff were friendly and attentive. Views were nice. Our room was extremely roomy
