    We could hear the people in the room next door. They were very noisy in the morning.

    Location / view Stunning. Staff very friendly. Food amazing.

    Fabulous remote location and incredible views - good food friendly staff but rooms a little sparse.

    The bedrooms have the best view in the world. No denying. Big windows down to the floor with sliding doors. They are also warm - just right. However, they are VERY sparsely furnished, especially the shower room. Whilst some would say its part of a modern and uncluttered, for the price (as this was my most expensive hotel of my trip round the R1) there are a few touches which could have made this a really, really great hotel as the room just lacked that cosy feel achieved elsewhere. A few things…. 1. As a solo traveler, only one of the single beds was made up, and just one pillow in the entire room. Hard to sleep and only hotel presented in this way. A spare pillow at least should have been available. I had to use the cushions under my pillow which is not ideal. 2. One cup only and one toothglass. Just felt a bit weird. 3. Towels - just one bath towel (small) and hand towel (small). Towels were definite on the thin side. Appreciate costs need to be kept down but some bigger, fluffier bath sheets would really make this room/bathroom feel a bit more luxurious. 4. A Nespresso machine might be nice - quite a few of the other hotels had this and were charging £50 - £60 less per nights All of the above said, I enjoyed my stay a lot but in summary, rooms are sparse and this hotel is all about the view.

    The location of this hotel (it really really is remote) is fantastic for the views especially from the room. Also the Icelandic horses walking by and the curlews everywhere. Absolutely nature central! I loved all of the above and stayed up watching the sunset. Dinner choices very limited but the lamb was absolutely perfect. Lovely staff who made me feel very welcome.

    One of the sitting chairs was broken and the food service needs improving. For example at breakfast we had to ask for napkins and for them to refill hot food options and at dinner they forgot to bring our drinks.

    The amazing views, super comfortable bed, pillows and spacious rooms. Nice toiletries and shower, decent breakfast.

    This hotel is stunning. The horses and the local wildlife did not disappoint. The hostess was lovely and the food amazing. Our room overlooked the fjord as did the restaurant. This place is perfect if you want peace and quiet. We walked to the local church at the foot of the mountain opposite the hotel and I could not hear anything other than the beating of my own heart. Sheer bliss.

    Beautiful, peaceful spot with comfortable beds

    The restaurant prices are steep (main dishes are €30 - €50!), but this seems to be typical in Iceland.

    Situated in a beautiful, isolated spot. It snowed during our stay and it was magical. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The bed was a dream. The couple who run the hotel were both very friendly. We ate dinner in the restaurant both nights we were there, the food is above average for such an establishment. We loved the horse steak, so tender and perfectly cooked! No northern lights during our visit as it was too cloudy. But the private terrace would have been the perfect spot to enjoy them.

    The location of the hotel is in a remote and wonderful landscape and i think that makes your stay in Iceland more authentic. Also the personal is very friendly and breakfast was really delicious with fresh baked bred and local products. We stayed during our trip in 6 accommodations and this was by far the most beautiful. The rooms are very spacious and everything was very clean and comfortable. Through the big windows you can enjoy an amazing view with the fjord. Also because you are in a remote place you have great chances to see the magical northern lights.

    Beautiful location, we saw the northern lights after dinner! Loved how the rooms were individual outside access so we could sit on our balcony and watch the lights in the evening. The restaurant was a very short walk up the hill and excellent for dinner and breakfast.
