The room was comfortable and well equipped. The view is just spectacular! The design of the hotel is modern. It felt like being in a museum. Plus they have ping-pong table to play and a bar to chill after a long walking day.

Rooms are comfortable and staff are friendly. The northern lights wake up is a definite bonus and means we managed to see the northern lights twice in our four night stay

“The best view from a room I've had on my Iceland trip”
Amazing views from the lake view room - definitely recommend taking such an option. Aurora was beautifully visible, even from a bed. Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated.

“Lovely place, great staff, amazing food.”
Beautiful location with views over the lake and towards the highlands. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the restaurant food was superb. Great place for Northern Lights viewing, they offer a knocking service to let you know if there is any activity. We were not lucky, but the night before we arrived they did get to see it.
