Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The rooms are in excellent condition and have a very nice view of the famous subglacial volcano Eyjafjallajökull, plus you're so close to some of Iceland's most iconic sights like Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, Black Sand Beach, and Vestmannaeyjar. The only downside is that the rooms are a bit smaller compared to other hotels in the same league, but that's no big deal considering the cozy lounge right at your doorstep.
The hotel offers stylish and very clean rooms with a stunning view of the volcano, although they are slightly smaller compared to other hotels in this category. Having a nice lounge right at your doorstep compensates for the room size. The service was excellent, with room service, housekeeping, and tours/ticket assistance readily available. The location is amazing, close to Skogafoss and just a short drive to Black Beach, making it convenient for those hunting for Northern Lights. The dining options, though already nice, could include even healthier and organic choices to match the trendy contemporary architecture of the hotel. Facilities are top-notch, offering everything one needs for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was incredible! The rooms were very cosy and stylish, offering a stunning view of the volcano. They were impeccably clean, creating a wonderful vibe throughout. While slightly smaller compared to others in the same league, it wasn't an issue with a lovely lounge right at my doorstep.
I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The rooms had good options, were well appointed and spacious, with a nice lounge just steps away. They were a bit small compared to other hotels in the same league, but that didn't bother me much. The service was excellent, offering room service, housekeeping, laundry, and even a welcome drink. The location was super friendly, beautiful, and peaceful, with the ocean on one side and mountains on the other. The dining experience was incredible, although it could offer healthier options. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms were spacious with luxury bathrooms and beautiful views. The lounge area added a nice touch to my stay. However, the room size was a bit smaller than expected.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were stylish and very clean with a stunning view of the volcano. The in-room coffee facility was a great bonus given the cost of the room. The service was impeccable with room service, housekeeping, and a warm welcome drink. The location was spotless, although the room was a bit cold at times. The dining experience was delightful, especially the breakfast options, and the hotel's contemporary architecture was a standout feature.
