Beautiful views right on the lake. Very comfortable room and bed. The staff went above and beyond with any request. Good restaurant. Great midway stop in our trip that allowed us freshen our clothes with their washer and dryer.

It is a very nice property. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The spa was great. Breakfast was good. I think the only con was there was a very strong sulfur smell in the Bathroom/Shower water. Otherwise everything was great.

Dinner in the restaurant was excellent, with local produce cooked perfectly. All the staff on the hotel and restaurant have been super friendly and helpful. The location next to the lake is pretty and peaceful. Taxis are hard to find here, but it only took 25 mins to walk from the airport.

The room was clean and comfortable, and it was spacious compared to other hotels during our trip. We were also able to use the laundry facilities which was very helpful. The stand out part of our stay was the food! The breakfast that was included with our stay was a full spread with tons of options, not the typical “free” breakfast. We highly recommend dinner at the hotel restaurant. It was our best meal during our 3 weeks in Iceland!
