Dusappointed

We were not given a room that resembled the picture of the room I saw online. We were supposed to a a sleek, modern room with large glass windows overlooking a beautiful lake! We got a ground floor room with mismatched old furniture, an old disgusting spa with a hand-held shower that my 79 yr old hubby had to crowd into! We had some smaller windows with a view of a wall and a cinder driveway. Beyond that we could see the lake! Definitely not what we thought we reserved and paid for!!

Really cool place. Staff was completely amazing. Above and beyond. And the breakfast was one of the most amazing I’ve ever had! I’d go back just for that!! The berry juice was so good, and so much variety. The restaurant looks out over the lake. Hot tub was just ok. Area around the hotel very pretty. Room was very spacious and well appointed, if dated in style. Removed one star for a musty smell and the very weird decor, including a strange and out of place Mexico theme.

We came in late after long day . The room was ok but the building is pretty old , the light in the bathroom and main bed room is not working . We try to ask the staffs to help but it’s really late ( we checked in after 11pm) staffs was not at the desk by the time we needed help with. We are group travel and the coffee in the room only has two capsules. We have to go to the dining room to get our coffee .

This hotel had the most amazing night staff. He bent over backwards when we arrived late from our flight, personally making us food and serving drinks after the kitchen closed. We got great recommendations and the breakfasts and dinners were fantastic. We got an upgraded room with an picturesque view of the lake at sunrise. It's a fantastic place!

Not like the photos

We were looking for a cozy place outside of Reykjavik- this was advertised as that but turns out it’s in a highly suburban area (near a lot of gyms). Lots of potential if the lights were on in the sitting area, fire was lit, someone was available at the bar and it was decorated for the holidays. But unfortunately everything was off when we checked in at 7pm and again when we got back from dinner at 930pm. Decor is a bit worn but over comfortable.
