Reviews
The hotel can coordinate several great excursions. We did the lava cave tour and the cannon baths; both were great.
They provide a Northern Lights wake-up call, which helped us catch the lights.
Hotel and staff are very nice. The food in the restaurant is excellent!! The provided breakfast has a lot of options, both American and Icelandic. We didn’t have time to enjoy the pool but it looked very nice and saw a number of people using it. The hotel is quiet and our room was large and had a great view.
Terrible beds and pillows.
Misleading pictures as they show a spa that is not the hotel spa but rather a very costly spa nearly. They do have a steam room and hot pools and a cold plunge pool but it looks nothing like the natural springs on the ******* profile.
