Reviews and Ratings
I had the pleasure of staying in a beautiful hotel that overlooks the adjacent pond, providing a lovely and tranquil setting. The rooms were gorgeously furnished, spacious, and well-heated, offering a stunning view that truly made my stay memorable. While the service was special and individually tailored, creating a calm and quiet atmosphere, the dining experience left a little to be desired. The hotel's location was like a hidden gem on the edge of Reykjavík suburbs, offering a perfect blend of nature and convenience.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were so comfortable and cozy, and the free-standing bath in the room was a luxurious touch. The separate bathroom with a walk-in shower added to the convenience. The service was top-notch; the staff went out of their way to be helpful and friendly, making us feel right at home. The location, amidst Reykjavík suburbs, offered a tranquil setting with beautiful views. The dining experience was superb, with a great selection of delicious meals at an incredible value. The facilities were excellent, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
My stay at the hotel was simply perfect. The rooms were as comfortable as the other two 5-star hotels we visited, with a large bathroom that made our stay simply perfect. The service was super friendly and helpful, just like eating at a family table. The location was perfect, overlooking a lake, making it feel like we were still in the countryside but only a short drive to downtown Reykjavik. The dining experience was very limited, but overall, my experience was delightful.
Staying at this hotel felt like being in a newly constructed bedroom that resembled a big house overlooking a lake, offering nice views from the deck and plenty of rooms. The comfortable stay was brilliant and helped make my trip even more special.
The hotel has a charming mix of Latin and Chinese design influences, with rooms that may be on the small side but offer a unique theme. The service is exceptional, creating a calm and quiet atmosphere for a truly relaxing stay. While the location boasts fabulous views, it may not be ideal for those without a car due to its distance from the city center. The dining experience, though priced well, offers a lovely buffet spread. The facilities are individually crafted to make every corner special.
I was extremely pleased with my stay at the hotel. The rooms were really nice and the bath was really good. The hotel is fairly large and very modern with large patio doors overlooking the lake. The new facilities in front of our room added to the experience.
