Staff at the front desk were a little rude. However, the location, views and restaurant were nice. Would recommend to anyone traveling to South Iceland just have to get past the front desk.

Clean & Comfortable.

Fine for a night or two stay. Big room, nice bathroom. Only 10mins to town, lovely view. Hotel caters to big bus loads of people so we didn’t use the restaurant. It’s a buffet style for tour groups. Handy enough to pop into Vik tho. Clean and comfortable.

Pricey for what it is but you have few choices her

Great breakfast. Old rooms. One outlet for charging, not near the beds. Cheap hairdryer with no heat settings, literally only blows “ air” when you squeeze the handle continuously. I expect more for $350 a night.

This was a clean, perfectly fine, large hotel with no real character, that is mostly geared to large bus groups. It was expensive for what it provided and I would go with a guest house next time in this area. The generous dinner buffet was a shocking $7,500 isk / $60 us dollars for a standard buffet with meat and fish (sliced beef & salmon). I would definitely plan to eat elsewhere. We had great meals throughout Iceland for less than this every night. It was nice that there was a bar and the bartender was actually fantastic. Great views from the hotel and restaurant.

The hotel is ideal for large groups but not particularly good for a couple like us . The restaurant is set up to cater for very large tour groups and feels more like a school dining room than a hotel . our room faced to the rear which was fine but we were also close to an exit door which slammed every time someone came through it .

This Hotel was the most expensive we stayed in Iceland (all properties were expensive) and it was the most dated. The room and bathroom was dated and ‘scruffy’. The amenities were poor and the buffet dinner was average for approx 50 Euro per head. Breakfast was included and was good. In the photos the outlook looked beautiful - our room overlooked a scruffy Carpark! It was at a convenient part of our Iceland Road Trip but I would not recommend. I would look at other properties in the VIK area.

Hótel was more of a tour bus accommodation with big cafeteria not a dining room. Staff obviously not Icelandic natives because they are the most friendly wonderful people, not this staff but they are used to turning big groups. I don”t recommend it. Room basic with motel 6 towels and very expensive for what it is. Maybe the view is great but it was socked in on our visit.

Is an older property and a lot of tour buses stop here so can get crowded. The bed was comfy the room was clean.. the reception girl was not very friendly and it seemed everything was an issue or to hard so we stayed in our room the rest of the time. Guess she was having a bad day. Breakfast was really good had heaps of variety and plentiful not sure if I would stay again but was good for a stop over for a break in driving.
