I loved this place. It has a warmth about it that is simply lacking in many other hotels. Our room in the hotel (not one of the apartments) was... read more huge - twice the size of most suites. The bed was very comfortable, and it was dead quiet all night except when a large group passed through. There is an elevated outside hot tub with a 360 degree view of the sky and mountains, where we soaked one evening under the stars and northern lights. Internet was slow but workable. Service everywhere was excellent. The dining room has great views, served a very good breakfast, and a well presented dinner, although the cod dish was good, rather than fantastic. There's a terrific hike behind the hotel towards the glacier which was good exercise, but not technically challenging. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed this place, and will be back. More

  There is not a lot of choice in the region and we were on the way back to Reykjavic from visiting the glacier. Having stopped by the ferry terminal and... read more found nothing we doubled back as we had passed the place earlier. It didn't look much but the food was excellent and very welcome after a long time on the road.

  Located under Eyjafjallajokull, this small family run hotel was formerly a farm building prior to a renovation. The room in the hotel section was very comfortable and clean. Staff were... read more veryfriendly and helpful. A healthy breakfast was available.

  Everything was great! We checked in to nicely decorated rooms and experienced a tasty dinner and good service. I had been driving in difficult conditions and was exhausted,... read more so I decided to have an early night.

I noticed that I could hear the guests waking around in the room above me. I fell asleep. Then I was woken every one of two hours as the inconsiderate guests kept going out to try to see the Northern Lights. This turned into torture. I got up to find a white noise video on youtube and put earplugs in, but even this couldn't stop the noise of the thudding noises coming through the ceiling.

I was looking forward to staying here, but after one night I was very angry and completely exhausted. And it wasn't cheap!

I know they can't help it if inconsiderate guests are staying. But there were no notices to be quiet in the night. Also, how much does it cost for a bit of soundproofing on the floor?

Although it was January in Iceland, I wish had slept in my car. Never again! More
