Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a beautiful and quiet area near the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, offering easy access to the ring road. The rooms, though in need of updating, were spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable, and provide a welcoming stay. The dining experience was tasty with a slight lack of variety, and the location promises the chance to witness the northern lights, along with a hearty continental breakfast buffet in the mornings.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were excellent, especially the huge bathrooms and the very welcoming atmosphere created by the friendly staff. The breakfast buffet was great, and the location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions like the Golden Circle and the Solheimjokull glacier. The only downside was the limited dinner options available.
The hotel is set on a stunning golf course near the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, ideal for exploring nature and Viking history. The rooms, although in need of updating, are spacious and beautifully decorated. The dining options may lack variety, and prices could be considered high for what's offered.
