Phenomenal location. Breathtaking views and 4-minute drive to Gullfoss. Spectacular northern lights viewing. Yummy breakfast. No water filling station. Surprised to find a mini fridge and coffee maker in the room! Very old school locks — just keep turning when you think you’ve turned it all the way.

Driveway to the hotel was not paved and had no lighting in the parking lot. Understandably, did not want to cause light pollution since northern lights are visible from the area. Close to Geysir and Gullfoss waterfalls. Very limited restaurants in the area. Rooms were nice and clean.

We stayed two nights and the staff let us know when the Northern Lights was visible. Because this hotel is away from town it is perfect for viewing the northern lights from the parking lot. It is 5 minutes from Gullfoss Waterfall and the Geysir. Perfect location for any glacier activities.

This property is a short distance from Gullfoss, a spectacular double waterfall. The hotel operators are friendly, attentive, and helpful -- to the grand extent of having the cook use his charger cables to give our car a needed boost for a drained battery. The hotel restaurant is also excellent, as was the included breakfast. We highly recommend.

I really liked the service they offer, if you would like to see the northern lights, the staff will go knock on your door to let you know so you go outiside. That is a plus I did not get on any other hotel I stayed during my trip in Iceland.

Lovely hotel - doesn't look that impressive from the approach road, but lovely inside - the dining room is particularly nice with large windows looking over the valley. Excellent location as very close to Gullfoss - around 5 minutes drive. Staff were lovely at reception and in the restaurant. Food - both dinner and breakfast - were very good, with a good selection at breakfast. Room was nice - twin beds as requested, clean and warm and with a nice view over the valley. I stupidly left my Kindle behind and have since been liaising with the hotel who are going to mail it back to me - very kind! I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
