"We loved the hotel with the exception of our room, which was almost too small to function. The bed was terrific though. The bathroom was only large enough for one at a time. Our luggage took most of the floor space. The restaurant and bar were great, our meals were 5 star, and all of the staff were helpful and gracious. I’d stay there again, just not in room 303."

"We stayed here right after the eclipse -- I booked far in advance because I knew the whole peninsula would be busy. The hotel was as expected for an iceland hotel. It's an older building but it's nice. Had a good sleep. Breakfast was pretty standard. The location was good -- I wanted to be close to Kirkjufell for early morning photos. But we had no view of it from our room -- just some industrial warehouses. We didn't explore the town much."
