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.

This hotel is nestled in the most spectacular view location! The scenery is stunning! The property is clean and well maintained but a little dated. We only stayed one night but it was quiet and peaceful.
Room was quaint but view was spectacular!

Not bad if you don’t have other options. Hotel caters to many bus tours for one night stays so the restaurant feels more like a cafeteria. Breakfast buffet is free and has many good options. Dinner is also buffet and food was average but quite pricey at 7500 kr per person. For that price we expected higher quality options. They have a bar but it’s not really designed to sit and have a drink at and there isn’t any outdoor patio. Our room was spacious but lacked a mini fridge. And it smelled like sewer in the bathroom. Overall we were disappointed with this hotel especially since we booked two nights here. Positives: great location just minutes from Vik, black sand beach, horseback riding, puffins at the peninsula, and the views are stunning.

Great stay, beautiful scenery, excellent breakfast -- so many options to choose from, and kept us full until supper time! The only thing missing was a fridge in our room (minor ... and the staff were happy to fill our ziplocs with ice to keep our cooler/foods we had for this roadtrip cool). Beautiful views of the ocean and short/easy drive into Vik. Would stay here again.

Staying at the hotel was truly a memorable experience. The location offered the most spectacular views, particularly from the top of the hill. The scenery was breathtaking and provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Each morning, the breakfast provided was a delightful start to the day. The food was both delicious and well-prepared, offering a variety of options to suit every taste. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. Their customer service truly enhanced the overall experience, making us feel welcome. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a tranquil escape with stunning views and great service.
