Breakfast was terrible. Minimal food options. No choice to just have some bread to toast. We were refused and sliced bread. No orange juice, only orange squash. Worst breakfast experience I have ever had.

PHENOMENAL. My fiancé and I spent a magical night in this gorgeous hotel. We didn’t make use of the amenities despite them being a major selling point… we were too comfy and exhausted from a long day exploring and hiking. We will be very happy to come back in the future, however. The staff are beyond wonderful. Thank you!

Biggest room we stayed at in Iceland!! Lots of shelves ,drawers and closet space. We spent 15 nights at 15 hotels ,so we are experts in hotels. Conveiently located near many sights. The hotel food for dinner we thought was a bit expensive. Our waiter from Ukraine spoiled the hotel feeling for us with his attitude. Hopefully having a bad day.

Upon entering the building we found a broken down car in the parking lot (flat tires), a camper up on blocks. The outside was not maintained. Once we checked in to the room we immediately decided to leave. Smell! The staff would not refund us any money and were rude. Between the time we checked in and left (15 minutes max) someone had broken a glass bottle in the entrance driveway. I did go back in to tell the staff.

Hotel Bifrost staff was friendly and engaged, their dining and lobby area was clean and comfortable to relax in. The rooms were clean if a little dated, but a large amount of space to unpack if you were staying longer. Very large area for shower which was a pleasant surprise. We were overlooking some nearby homes and there was some traffic noise, but nothing distracting. Did not try the breakfast but looked appetizing.

Great hotel restaurant. Lovely bar. The rooms are nice, but not well designed. The shower got water all over the bathroom. There were no blackout curtains so it was bright all nice- Iceland summer. The window only cracks about an inch and there is no ventilation. It was very odd to be stifling hot in Iceland.

The property is a bit outdated, the bathroom needs an upgrade, however the rooms are large, with mirrors, refrigerator, a small kitchenette. The breakfast was awesome the best we had in Iceland. Dinner was good however as a vegetarian my choices were extremely limited for a price of ISK 8900. We had a stopover for one night and had a comfortable stay.

The service was great at this hotel and the food was good. Everything was clean. The entrance was difficult to find though. It looks like a college dorm that has been converted to a hotel. The toilet seat in room 308 needs to be fixed. The toilet seat moves around a lot. It would be nice if the rooms had bigger tvs and more channel choices. There was an odd smell in the hallway.

When I arrived, my reservation could not be found that I had made a month earlier (and had a receipt for, confirming my payment). We had an overpriced dinner at the restaurant, the salted cod was terrible and they did not attend to us at the table. We discovered the two glasses in our room were dirty, with lip marks on them and specks of dirt. At check out time, they still had not resolved the issue of the reservation and asked for payment for both our dinner and room which was confirmed to have already been paid on the receipt I showed them. The hotel has an odd atmosphere. The main things that are good: large rooms and the breakfast. The people working there tried, but this place clearly has poor management and administration and should not be on Expedia if it is not receiving communication about reservations and payments.

This hotel's response was terrible. When I was not able to go to this hotel due to delayed baggage and road conditon, I asked the hotel to cancel the booking or transfer to other day via message in Expedia. However, they didn't do any reply until I sent the second message next day. Although I was not able to use phone call, they said I should have called them to push it and refused cancel and refund without considering my situation. Finally I was not able to stay here and get any refunds for cancell booking, even an portion of breakfast. It was worst hotel experience I've ever had.

Large room with table and 2 chairs and kitchenette. Huge bathroom. Very nice lady working there helped us resolve a situation with a reservation we had for the next town we were going to. The food at the restaurant there was fantastic. Best meal we had on our entire trip. Only negative was no wash clothes in the bathroom. Encountered this at a few other hotels - maybe that is a European thing? We were told this hotel was a dormitory for a college. If so, these college students live in luxury.

Convenient place for one night stop. Rooms are renovated, very big, comfortable twin beds, room has with kitchen amenities, huge bathroom. Reception needs renovation and staff to serve it, as at the moment restaurant staff serve the reception desk and you have to wait. Also the lady when I checked in wasn't very polite and did not shows me the way to the rooms, which are in separate building so I had to figure out by myself, anyway on the next morning the other girl in the restaurant was very friendly, helpful and polite.
So might be is good her colleagues to learn from her about hospitality.

Nice location near Gabrok crater

Friendly and helpull staff.
Huge room, more like an apartment, with a small kitchen and fridge. Comfy beds and wonderfull mountain views.
The shower was big, but it had no curtain, so the bathroom floor was flooded after every shower. The towels were not clean which was a bit disturbing.
There is also a gym, but it didn't look so good, and a hot tub.
The breakfast was tasty and various.
The hotel is being renovated now, so I'm hoping it would look a lot better in the future.

Not very homely feeling but fine for a night or 2

Hotel is in a series of buildings which seem like an odd mismatch. Felt a bit like a school campus. Our room was in a large concert block away from the main building. Room was large and clean if in need of a bit of a revamp. Just felt a little uncosy. Restaurant seemed expensive even by Icelandic standards and food was mediocre. Hot tub was lovely and warm and in a sheltered area but a bit full of leaves. Breakfast buffet was good and the staff very friendly, helpful and informative.

Interesting hotel, it's actually a college and the old dorms are now hotel rooms. They are absolutely massive and the grounds are quite unique. There is a restaurant on site that was nice however if you want a variety, you have to drive a bit, the hotel is off on it's own. If you're driving around the ring, it's a good stopping point in between Reykjavik and Akureyri.

You actually stay on a small University campus that turned a part of it into a hotel--- so it seems. There is a kitchenette in room but no items to use it. There is a place for dinner and breakfast is included in the price. When I booked thru hotels.com I was told a price to be paid at the hotel. My husband paid a higher price at checkout and did not question it because he was not aware. That was a disappointment.

Good facilities and convenient location

This hotel was not at all what I had expected. We had a nice room with a small kitchen and huge shower. There was a gym on site too with outdoor hot tub etc.
It was a bit 'dorm-room' style though, explained by the fact tha the facilities are shared by a university, and the restaurant and bar lacked character or coziness. Our room was also not cleaned after we arrived (more of an apartment rental agreement)

Our stay here was good though there are a few small things that could be improved. The rooms are spacious but feel rather cold since there is no decor found. There are not even lamps on the bedside tables or a picture on the wall. But this is complaining at a very high level. The shower was very nice and they had a nice and good blowdryer available. The breakfast was very tasty though the table arrangement to display all the options is a little weird as some of the tables are more in the middle of the room and away from the man buffet and when it is full with people it is easy to oversee some of the tables (this happened to us: we only saw some of the tables when we left the breakfast which was unfortunate). However the breakfast was very tasty and rich in options (if you can spot them all :D ).
