We very much enjoyed our stay at the beautiful hotel remotely located in nature. It had a wonderful breakfast and staff were friendly. Accessibility: There are a series of a few small steps on the main floor which make it difficult when traveling with a stroller and luggage. There is a back door that is accessible with no stairs involved. It has access to the rooms located at the end of the hotel. Perhaps guests with children can request a room at the end near the back door.

Overall pretty good stay here! A bit of an older building that seems to have gotten a few facelifts. The room was clean and comfortable, but had a bit of an odd smell to it. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great spread for breakfast - glad I added it on. Hot tub was awesome and you could probably see the Northern Lights while in it. Unfortunately it was quite wet and cloudy during our stay.

Was very disappointed to get to the hotel and find out they had been trying the credit card that I held the property with. It was supposed to be a pay upon arrival and they charged my credit card two days early. My understanding of pay upon arrival is that you pay upon arrival. Other than that, a very nice hotel other than the fact the breakfast is much too expensive for what you receive. I’ve stayed in many many hotels in Iceland and this is one I will most likely, not return to because of the reason stated above. Not cool.

Unexpected gem. The hotel room was pretty small and unremarkable, but it was clean and comfortable. I got the best night's sleep of my trip so far. The surprise was the church museum on the grounds and the extensive history of this location going back 1000 years. Fascinating.

Hotel to Ourselves
The hotel is very remote, but quite comfortable. It has a meandering floor plan with a couple cozy common rooms. No TV in the bedroom, but there was one in the common room that got a few channels. We felt like we had the hotel to ourselves, because for the most part we did. Because the hotel is so remote, we had dinner at the hotel restaurant. The ambience there was wonderful, but dinner was pricey!
