This place is beautiful. The staff is amazing. The room is romantic and very clean. The breakfast was also amazing. Very unique location next to springs.

We enjoyed our stay although our room was hot at night and when there is a large party in the dining room, one cannot have a conversation with a dinner partner. The food was very good.

This was my 4th stay at this property. One of my favorite hotels. We had two rooms in the newer building with balconies overlooking the river. Rooms were on the larger size with a decent sized bathroom. Comfortable beds. The highlight is the hot pots and hot pool, perfect for unwinding. The restaurant dinner is gourmet, and breakfast is wonderful with bacon and eggs, smoked salmon, and Icelandic fare and waffles. I could go back every year!

This is our favorite hotel. We stayed twice in six months. Get a room overlooking the river to see the northern lights from your bed. They also had the best breakfast. We will stay there again next year when we go back to Iceland again.

Property is very out of date. Room, not very clean, treacherous to get to with snow not cleared from walkways properly. Pool and hot tubs looked dirty and not well maintained. This place needs some serious work. Not impressed.

Beautiful property on the river. We really enjoyed the hot springs tubs.

We had high hopes for this hotel. The pictures made it seem so well maintained and polished but the spa amenities left us feeling underwhelmed. The sauna and hot tubs didn’t seem to be cleaned, there were bugs and leaves in the water. The sauna didn’t get as warm as most do and there were no towels on the towel rack and it didn’t look like it was cleaned from the day prior. The property in general didn’t seem to be maintained well. The rooms however were very clean and well maintained. Overall, it was an average stay for an above average price.

We had a great time. The hot tub was fantastic. We loved the breakfast. The highlight of our trip was sitting in the hot tub watching the northern lights. It was a perfect way to end our Iceland trip.

Truly incredible place on the river, spending an evening out in the spring fed hot tubs getting too warm whilst a blizzard was brewing up was certainly memorable! Would love to come back one day

Location in a thermally active area was incredible. It was also a short drive from a thermal park and many beautiful waterfalls. The rooms were clean and roomy with a lovely view of the river. Staff was very friendly. We highly recommend the onsite restaurant - the food was spectacular and served in a conservatory with a lovely view of the surrounding hillsides and river. Parking was convenient. We enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer.

We stayed here on a self drive Iceland tour. Nice room, right next to the river with views of the steam vents. At at the restaurant and the food was lovely and couldn’t fault what we had.

Loved the traditional look and feel of the hotel and staff were very friendly. We ate a lovely meak there one night and food was great. Hot tubs were lovely overlooking the river and sauna which was well stocked with towels etc stayed open until midnight. View from our room was fantastic. Only thing not so good was the very strong onion/sulfur smell in corridor outside room and very small bathroom, otherwise we had a lovely relaxing stay.

Great area for Northern Lights!

The surrounding area is beautiful. There is a river with small waterfalls and several geothermal hot springs. The breakfast was basic. Fresh scrambled eggs and decent coffee is all I really need. They did have both. This hotel could really be a gem, but the layout is lacking in storage space. I say this based on dozens of places we have stayed that have been half the size, but made incredible use of every little crevice. There’s very little space to place items in the bathroom. A plus was that there is a separate little foyer when you walk in with its own door to it and the bathroom. So when you hang all of your clothes, or wet shoes in that area, you can close the door so that it’s out of view. I booked this hotel because breakfast was included and a view with outdoor space is high on my “must have” list. Natural light and fresh air play a huge role in my choices for peace of mind. I'm not sure if towels are expensive or if there is a shortage, but when my partner asked for 4 more towels for the next day, she handed 3 dirty ones to the housekeeper. I was in the shower, so the floor mat was in there with me. The housekeeper insisted on having all 4 (in that moment) in order to get four. So we had to wait until I dried off just to get a fresh towel. This felt very awkward, but we just went with it. Life is a gift.
