The hotel is located in Vik, a very cute town in southern Iceland close to Diamonds beach. We had dinner at the hotel, which was excellent. The staff at the hotel was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel offers two hiking trails which we enjoyed walking. We had dinner at the hotel - excellent food and great service.

Property was beautiful. There is a picturesque waterfall just behind the building. Had some hiking trails there as well. Room was clean and modern and nicely furnished. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. We had dinner there one night and the food was fabulous. Staff was extremely courteous and helpful.

Gorgeous property. Backs up to mountains and a waterfall. This was the most comfortable bed during our trip. We spent some time in the hot tub which was outdoors and felt glorious. The food was not as good as other reviewers described and we were disappointed with. Overall though it was a wonderful stay and we would stay again.
