Perfect location!

Wonderful hotel. Perfect location with plenty of parking. This is the perfect halfway point to Akureryi. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. There also is a restaurant upstairs with a nice view. This is also where breakfast is which had a nice variety throughout the buffet. Staff was friendly as well. Thanks!

The property was stunning and staff were friendly and accommodating. The facilities were great, with nice hiking options right behind the hotel. The hot tubs, sauna and cold plunge were clean and we were able to get drinks served right to us. The restaurant was so good and the service was outstanding. 10/10 would absolutely stay again

Nice but noisy

Very nice hotel with good breakfast and restaurant . Our only complaint was the loud music that played until 3am . Not sure if it was from the hotel or property next to it but it was hard for us to sleep with all the noise .

Lovely hotel 1 downside, room is too hot

Beautiful and modern hotel. Hot tubs are nice and not crowded. They have a lovely restaurant on the upper floor and the food is really delicious. We had dinner there and enjoyed it. Good spread of breakfast too. 1 major downside though, our quadroom only had one tiny weeny window and the room is really hot in summer. Like hot hot for Iceland, bearing in mind that there is no air-conditioning in Iceland. So after raising this, they gave us 2 small desk fans which honestly didn't really help much. I understand that buildings in Iceland are built to keep the cold out and would love to give this hotel 5 stars as I really love the look and feel but the room temperature is really a bugbear.

Nice hotel but....

On the positive, this hotel seems quite new and is very clean. Customer service was not as good. Additionally, while they had hot tubs, you have to pay to use a robe and towel for the hot tubs. If I had to do again, I might have just drove and stayed in Borgarnes. We picked this hotel because it was closer to the lava cave and glacier tours we were taking the following day.

Nice Place to Stay That is Off the Beaten Path

A very nice place to stay with comfortable rooms and great views. It is located in an interesting area of Iceland that includes the Krauma Baths, Reykholt historic site, and an unusual waterfall. Borgarnes is also an interesting town to visit. Off the beaten path and undiscovered by most tourists.

Super clean, modern hotel. There's a small outcropping you can take a short hike up nearby to see over the entire area. Restaurant was on the top floor, which allowed for nice views while eating. Included breakfast was great! The hotel is in an area with only some geothermal buildings and a school around it, so if you need anything, you're driving to it.

Beautiful hotel. It is a unique combination of an old young ladies homemaking school, annual class photos are wonderful, and modern hotel. The room was small but comfortable. The highlight of this property was the 4th floor restaurant with fantastic views. Dinner service staff were friendly, and the food was excellent. The breakfast buffet was also terrific. The hotel is a great home base to explore the western region.
