Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is a gem, close to the majestic Dettifoss Waterfalls and Asbyrgi Canyon, offering breathtaking views and a cozy atmosphere. The rooms provide a resort-like experience with luxurious amenities, but sharing bathrooms might not suit everyone. The service is top-notch and the dining offers classic dishes, yet the price could be considered a bit high for some. Overall, a great stay with a few small drawbacks.
I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! The hotel is conveniently located close to the amazing Dettifoss waterfall, but keep in mind you'll need a car to get around as there's no public transport. The rooms are cozy and clean with crisp resort-quality bathrooms, though some do have shared bathrooms. The dining options are limited but hey, at least they serve a mean hot dog! I'd say it's worth the price for the experience you get.
