One of the best hotels I've ever had the pleasure of staying. Gorgeous architecture combined with a beautiful view from all the rooms. Amazing facilities both in the room as well as in the hotel. Wonderful hot tubs with an amazing outside sauna. Had the luck to see the northern lights as well. Very kind and helpful staff and comfy beds. A bit pricey, but definitely worth every penny.

Beautiful, clean room. Every staff member we interacted with were wonderful, especially Adele at the front desk and Tomas in the restaurant. This hotel is top notch and we decided to book another stay here towards the end of our trip because we loved it so much! The dinner was fabulous! We enjoyed every part of it from the homemade bread to the delicious main courses to the incredible desserts!!

Really great hotel to stay in the south of island. Unfortunately we’ve only been there for one night. The staff is very friendly and open for any questions.

This hotel is a hidden gem. We liked it so much that we booked an additional night. It's quite remote and perfect for viewing the northern lights. We spent my birthday at the hotel, but I didn't even dream that we would see the northern lights from the hot tub, after a fancy, delicious dinner at their lovely restaurant. From the hotel you can hike in that area with beautiful views. It's situated in a small quiet town, which is exactly the vibe we were looking for.

Everything was great! Very well located, right in the town centre, but out of the noisiest road. 5 min walking distance to Food Hall, a venue with several restaurants and a bar. The room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast - superb 😋 There is a spa which we did not come to try (3000 kr for the guests) and a gym (very tiny). Super comfortable place!

Having to 'get around Ring Road' definitely has its drawbacks. The biggest one we found was when you found a great place, your time there was limited. We did stop for the Lava Show in Vik, which was great, and we had dinner there as well. There was not enough time to really see everything before having to move on.

The waters and views of the glaciers viewed from a far are beautiful. Also some of the little food places reflect the cosiness of a working port. Quaint working port village. Worth a stop or basing yourself there to visit the surrounding geography.

Iceland is a very expensive place to travel and this guest house was average price for Iceland but the quality of the rooms were low average. Our room had such a bad slope on it we had to sleep at the other end of the bed with our heads above our feet. The bathroom had a toilet in the middle of the room, you had to walk around it to get to the shower and even though the room came with breakfast included it was very poor quality.

We are not luck since there is no sun in all the trip except when we fly back to US. The mountain and beach are great even with cloud and frog.
