Svartsengi Vacation Packages

It was away from town so you could really see the lights. Four hooks for clothes, no fridge, breakfast is additional and not worth the money. NO CHAIRS IN ROOM, as it is TINY. I guess if you come from a country where this is common, it is ok.

It was definitely a luxury experience unlike most stays I've ever done, 10/10 no notes on the hotel itself, the staff and amenities were bespoke. Breakfast was custom made to my liking and brought on a cart in the morning at a time of my choosing. Unbelievably good food and the lady working the desk was very charming. Word of caution, however: it is the highest up apartment in the entire city, maybe the entire country and the hotel is limited to the private access top floor of a new skyscraper of mostly corporate offices. At night, it was likely that my (city facing/partial ocean view) hotel room was the only one lit up in the tower and since the walls --including the bathroom-- are all glass, everything inside rather stands out and there no real privacy without curtains drawn. At some point, shortly after returning back at around midnight, someone somewhere in the city who noticed my arrival to the hotel room started blasting the apartment with a high powered laser pointer until I closed the curtains. That aside, it was a remarkably nice stay, the only concern is that its wildly ostentatious for better or for worse and maybe the locals aren't too pleased with that haha. I would stay here again.

The WiFi didn’t work well at all so was hard to plan trip or use laptop or order food.

My husband and I really enjoyed this! It is a little chilly but they have heaters/ fire place and heated blankets. The host was very easy to get a hold of (go to thier website for number). Also, double check correct address, we took address from Expedia and put it in our Apple Maps and it took us to the wrong location for the first time (look up to golden circle glamping domes, NOT the lake one). Also, I would definitely bring some sort of dinner if you have not already ate because there's not really too much around there- there is a restaurant, but it closes a little bit early, so just beware of that!
