Breakfast and dinner were for sure some of the best we had in Iceland. Hot tubs facing the glacier are amazing, while also the floor to ceiling windows in the rooms provide for some very nice view.

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!!

This was a cosy weekend getaway for my birthday and it was perfect. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful food. Cosy and tasteful decor. Beautiful little spa with sunken hot pool. Extremely professional massage therapist. And the building itself is nestled against the mountain with stunning views over fields and horses out to the Westman Islands. Wonderful!

The hotel was located a bit further from the small town of Kirkjubæjarklaustur and is a very nice, clean and cosy place! We spent the evening playing board games at the bar, our rooms were clean and very comfortable and the breakfast was very good! The staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again if I get the chance! :-)

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.

Great place in south of Iceland.

Great place in south of Iceland. The town of "flowers" is a good name for this place, as it is the warmest place in Iceland, where they grow flowers and enjoy life. It has the best swimming pool of the whole country, with an amazing "steam room" that is heated with steam straight from the vulcanic core of our planet.
