Reviews
The room was clean and perfect for our needs.
The catfish at dinner was cooked perfect.
The breakfast was excellent and we never ran out of the essentials.
We saw the Northern Lights over the hotel that evening.
I'd stay here again for sure.
Thank you for you hospitality!
Pros: beautiful surroundings, close to canyon, friendly staff, good food, comfy beds
Cons: room was like a prefab shelter in poor condition, toilet leaking, insufficient heating, price was like a 4* in Tokyo or NY. I get it that we’re paying for the location and not for quality or comfort, but this felt like a bit too overpriced. It was the worst stay we had in Iceland, and in the top 3 of the priciest I ever paid.
Unsure what these tiny red bugs are but we did keep finding them on the floor during our stay.
They allowed us to store our luggage as we arrive early which is very nice.
