Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were large and clean, making our stay very enjoyable. However, the distance from the lobby was a bit of a downside for me.
The hotel had both positive and negative aspects. The rooms were large and comfortable, newly decorated, but we were disturbed by noisy groups outside our door. The service was friendly and helpful but encountered some issues. The location was excellent for exploring, though it had some noise disruptions. The dining experience was great overall. The facilities were good, with a few areas needing improvement.
The hotel offers a good view across the landscape from slightly old-fashioned rooms in a long row house. The service was kind but a bit inexperienced and over-stretched, though they were helpful with our requests. The location, close to the highway on the southern coast, provides a lovely view of the far-off coastline. The dining experience was pleasant with a variety of options. Facilities were generally satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable, but they got really crowded in the morning for breakfast. Unfortunately, my view overlooked the dumpsters, which wasn't very pleasant.
The hotel is perfectly situated on a hill with a magnificent view over the lake towards Dryohaley cliffs. The rooms lack character but are decent in size and come equipped with a TV, coffee/tea making facility, and a fairly decent breakfast service. The location is simply awesome with a great view, ideal for a South East Iceland tour between Reykjavík and Jokusarlon glacier lagoon, close to Reynisfjara and Dyrholaey beaches where puffins can be spotted. The service excels with a friendly and accommodating staff, although the housekeeping could be more polite. The hotel offers nice facilities but lacks character and is large in size with non-descript furniture, except for two large armchairs.
The hotel offers a beautiful location and friendly service. The rooms have a great view but could use some renovation. While the dining options are good, there are areas for improvement in service.
The hotel offers clean and well-furnished rooms in a quiet location with beautiful views, although it is currently going through construction. The service is generally pleasant but can be overstretched at times. The dining experience is varied and delicious, catering to different tastes. The facilities are well-maintained and add to the overall comfort of the stay.
The hotel is wonderfully located, right next to the black sand beach, providing a great setting for exploration. The rooms were quiet and clean, meeting our expectations. The service was very friendly and accommodating, making our stay pleasant.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay in a great location near Dyrholaey cliffs and the black sand beach of Vik. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although some small issues were noted. The service was helpful, and the dining experience was diverse and fresh. However, the location could be more appealing, and guests need to consider the value for money in Iceland. Overall, it's a decent choice for a stay along the Ring Road.
The hotel is ideally located near Vik and Dyrholaey, offering a basic room with an excellent view. The service was accommodating and informed us about weather conditions early on. The location is scenic, close to popular attractions. The dining experience provided traditional Icelandic spread, though a bag option was convenient. Overall, good value for money with some room for improvement in room construction and service management.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, though small, had a lovely view of a small hill and were equipped with good beds for a relaxing night's sleep. The breakfast provided was extensive and tasty, adding to a positive start to the day. However, the view directly into a hill was not ideal. The cleanliness of the rooms was commendable, ensuring a comfortable stay.
