Arnarholl Statue Tours and Activities

Four months before our stay I had an error on dates and both Expedia and our hotel blamed each other and said they could not help me correct the error so I lost a nights stay. When I mentioned this during the check in the front desk blamed Expedia again even though Expedia contacted them and said they would honor the horel working with us. Ugh. That being said, the hotel was clean, beds were comfortable and the ground floor was filled with travelers relaxing, a fun restaurant and bar, and a social outlet if you wanted to meet others. Because of the reservation problems I did not want to return there after going to the golden circle.

Our stay here was amazing! I was really impressed - the service was great, we were able to request a twin room instead of double, and they stored our luggage while we killed time before check-in. The room itself was spacious enough for two. It was really just a place to sleep after long days traveling around the island, and we did not find noise to be an issue. The ear plugs were helpful anyway. Shower was great - solid water pressure. Nice to have tap water for filling my water bottle. Plenty of space to spread out our belongings. We made tea many times and used the mini fridge to store some of our groceries like skyr and sandwich ingredients and milk for tea. The highlight was the breakfast - there was such a variety that really exceeded my expectations. I was expecting an airport lounge-type breakfast buffet, but here there were baked beans, hash browns, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, cottage cheese, chia pudding, muesli, oatmeal, fresh fruit - even cod oil for your morning beverage. The highlight for us were the flapjacks as part of the array of fresh pastries - we ate so many each morning, they were SO delicious! Overall, 10/10. Really wonderful experience for the price. I don't have a single complaint.

Lovely hotel in a ideal location
