This was a clean, quiet remote place to stay in the middle of an old lava flow. It was within 1.1 miles of the Blue Lagoon, but otherwise, isolated. It was expensive with no pool, spa, etc. The staff were very nice and helpful.

This is a great place. Rooms were nice and clean. Facilities were nice. Restaurant was very good. Amazing volcanic views. Close to blue lagoon and airport. We unfortunately had to evacuate due to the volcano warning but seems to be routine in Iceland.

The staff in the hotel and restaurant were extremely friendly and helpful. Loved that my room was ready early, and I could go right in. The room was spacious, and the amenities were great (drinks included coffee, tea and sodas) that were included. Also, like that they had a free shuttle to the Blue Lagoon.

We had a unique situation. The road to the hotel was closed due to a recent volcanic eruption. They arranged for us to stay at another great hotel in Reykjavik. They also made sure we had a cot in the newly arranged room for our child. So although we didn’t get to experience the hotel property, we were very pleased with the services we got from them.

The staff acted swiftly, professionally, and with utmost concern for all the customers during the most recent evacuation. They made sure at 1:30 am that we were all accounted for, taken to a safe meeting place, and placed in a motel by 4:30 am. The staff should be commended for making us feel during this stressful volcanic eruption.

Great hotel. Got confused upon arrival as reception is not marked. In fact, it is at the entrance to the restaurant which looks like separate entity. After that, all was great

We chose this hotel because it had a free shuttle to Blue Lagoon, had a cute spa area, and offered Gluten Free for breakfast. It was quite expensive, but thought it would be worth it for our one night. Well, it only offers the shuttle at the top of the hour, which was strange as it's a very short drive to the Blue Lagoon and it's a small hotel, so we were the only ones on the shuttle. Then, they stop shuttling people back at 9pm! The Lagoon closes at midnight in the summer, so we had to walk back (which was a 15 min walk-but again, we booked this place based on the shuttle). Also, you have to pay about 30$ extra per person to be able to use their spa! So, even though we spend over 550$ to sleep there, the small sauna wasn't accessible. And lastly, even though I confirmed upon check in that they had gluten free options, the breakfast attendant said they ran out of gluten free. So I had a hot tea and a piece of fruit for breakfast. Overall, it was a fine hotel, but very disappointing experience for us.
