Over priced room rates as well as cost of limited selection in restaurant. With the arrival of mosquitoes in Iceland the hotel needs to consider adding screens to their windows. Our room was very warm. No air conditioning just a small portable fan. Our one window on ground floor opened allowing cool breeze and giant mosquitoes to enter. Had to choose between being hot or being bitten. Doorless shower flooded the bathroom as the floor sloped wrong way. Staff was friendly and private sauna lovely.

This hotel is absolutely amazing! It’s so clean and beautiful. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, always going the extra mile. For example, when we checked out early, they prepared croissants to take away. We also forgot our water bottle on reception when leaving, but one of the staff members ran it to us in a car park! The restaurant on site is fabulous. The food is really good, and the atmosphere is nice. The views are breathtaking. There’s also a sauna, which is a nice touch. The Black Beach Walk is also scenic.
