Room was very hot

Beautiful area and grounds. Courteous and helpful staff. King room had an amazingly comfortable bed and pillows. Complaints are: even though it was \"cold\" for our August trip (low 50 F during day) and we had the window cracked open as much as possible; it was impossibly hot in the room at night. No ventilation or AC. Front desk was apologetic but could do nothing but supply a small fan (which then kept us up all night with the noise). Fancy restaurant was.... meh, okay considering the very expensive prices. Kind of disappointed in the experience despite the beautiful place.

Loved that the property was hidden away from the main town but close enough to get to the town for food. Bedding was comfortable and clean. Breakfast area was beautiful but very limited breakfast options for those who don’t eat pork. The eggs were sweet and didn’t taste great. Every other options was a sweet option. Would be nice if they had some potatoes at least and changed their scrambled egg recipe. The boiled eggs were pretty much raw.

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.

Clean, amazing breakfast, kind and friendly staff. Room was a little small, and blankets could have been softer, and the showers could use a door, rather than being open to the rest of the bathroom and causing water to leak all over the floor, but besides that it was a pleasant stay, beautiful area around the hotel, and very clean and high class hotel. I’d recommend.

Wonderful hotel

The hotel was beautifully designed. The restaurant has a 360 degree view of the surrounding mountains. The view from our room was fantastic well. We weren’t there long enough to experience additional facilities. The man and woman at the desk when we checked in were very helpful in trying to help us track down a lost wallet and they even let us borrow a flashlight. The bed was comfortable. My only complaint is that the sink is very small so water got splashed when I was washing my face. However this is pretty standard in Iceland so I won’t deduct any stars for that small annoyance. Breakfast was good and they had great coffee. We saw the northern lights. Overall great stay.

This property did not live up to my expectations- I expected it to be much nicer based on pics and reviews. Not only were the bathrooms small (as mentioned in many other reviews) but the sinks were so tiny and so low, and at such an odd angle, that it was impossible to wash my face without my feet and the floor getting soaked. There was no counter space in the bathroom. Unfortunately, we stayed there on a rainy day, and it just wasn’t the type of room. You really wanted to spend a lot of time in.

On a positive note, we did have dinner there one evening, and it was excellent, both the food, the service, and the setting.

After driving just over 4 hours from the Westfjords, we realized that we left behind a carry on. We approached the front desk and asked if he could help us reach the inn we were staying at. It turns out the police had our bag and he called the police and asked them to put the bag on Iceland air cargo and we could have it by the time we went to Reykjavik, the next day! He ended up being the assistant manager. Sure enough we got our bag when we arrived in Reykjavik. We were soooo thankful that we did not have to make the drive back to the Westfjords to pick up our bag!
Service was fantastic, the food was excellent in the hotel with great views, and the hot spring bath was relaxing.
Theodore at the restaurant also gave us excellent service! Stay where the locals stay! : ) Thank you Arnar for your outstanding service!
