My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were impeccably clean and plenty big enough for the three of us. The beds were super comfy, like sleeping on a cloud. The staff were lovely and extremely helpful, especially in advising on road conditions during a snowstorm. The location was stunning, perfect for our road trip adventures, and with such friendly management. The dining experience was good, with a decent variety available, and the hotel had great facilities. One downside was that the room felt a bit like a hospital room, but overall, a great value for money stay.

The location was ideal for exploration, close to key spots in Iceland's south with stunning views over the river and Eyjafjallajökull. However, it was a surprise to find out it was a big fly fishing hotel.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, the room was clean and had a nice view of the river with birds constantly in motion, which was quite enjoyable. The attentive and accommodating staff made me feel welcome, going the extra mile to please. The location was perfect for exploring the area and watching the Northern Lights, right on the river with a beautiful view. The dining experience was good, although the food selection was limited at times. The facilities were satisfactory, but there were a couple of areas that needed improvement.
