    Bad soundproof. Price is too high for staying in the middlemof nowhere, but maybe that’s the reason.

    Hotel is comfortable, quite new, has good view (if you are lucky with wheather) to three glasier tongues. Dinner is ok, although price is high (as everywhere in Iceland though). As an option- you can drive to Hofn, it’s 10 minutes by car.

    Unfortunately, while we were there, they warned us about biting flies and recommended we keep our windows closed. We did as told, but it discouraged us from spending time outside at night, and we would have loved to enjoy the view more from their back deck.

    The views were incredible and staff was very nice. Breakfast was very good and it was an easy drive to Hofn from the hotel, where we went to have an amazing dinner at Pakkhus (highly recommend).

    The shower drain seemed to be blocked as the water took a very long time to disappear. The room was small & a little cramped, especially for the money we paid.

    The hotel was in a beautiful setting with wonderful views. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

    The view was breathtaking. It is definitely not in a city - but the views were worth it. We had a delicious dinner at the hotel (expensive) but great quality - and again there isn't really anywhere for you to go near by. Recommend making reservations even if the hotel looks empty.

    The view from our rooms was hindered by the construction. The hotel is very close to Hofn, which is nothing interesting to see, but quite far from other touristic places.

    Should have been better, the price was still as much as the last Fosshotel but the standards much lower.

    Very disappointed to arrive and find one side of our corner suite masked by scaffolding with workmen on, having to keep blinds down for privacy. This detracted from our stay. After the Glacier Lagoon, the restaurant here was definitely lower standard also. We chose to find somewhere else to eat the second night.

    After the first Fosshotel we were really looking forward to this one but the feeling of luxury was definitely missing, and while it was nice it was nowhere near as good, or value for money. We had a suite and the room was spacious with lovely views. We were treated to auroras our first night and the balcony was perfect viewing.

    The hotel could do with some refurbishment. The paint and carpet should be renewed. The rooms were a bit small compared to other rooms we had in Iceland.

    The food was lovely. The views of the glaciers from the hotel were lovely.

    Our bathroom is suitable for disabled person, so there is no shower curtain which caused the whole bathroom floor wet after shower, I think this could be improved.

    Rooms are OK, but a little bit far from center, view of bar is nice,staff are nice, except when we arrive the credit card machine is broken. But few hours later it works again.
