The hotel was clean, modern, comfortable and the shower was amazing! The food & drinks in the hotel restaurant were wonderful! Loved our two night stay here - close to Vik, walk to Skógafoss Waterfall which is literally right next to hotel. Breakfast was great too! I would definitely stay here again!

Great Hotel right in the Skogafoss front yard. Get up early and you can have the falls to yourself. Excellent breakfast buffet. Clean room. Expensive restaurant (Iceland, middle of nowhere pricing). Tip: check in before going to the falls, and you won't have to pay the parking fee (get validated), since they share the same lot. Staff are nice and hardworking.
