Super nice room. The bathroom was super small. The sink is probably of the same size as an airplane. We loved the little patio and walking distance to the waterfall. Breakfast was super nice, especially the coffee machine. You pay $3000 isk plus 7.5% service fee ($25 usd) for breakfast per person.

Great location, across the street is Godafoss, and then you can be there in the early morning or evening and see it without many tourists. The hotel is nice, we were in the separate building; all clean, and spacious, not modern, but functional. The breakfast is excellent.

Great service, especially the hotel manager, she was fantastic! At nightime, during the midnight sun, when all the tour buses and travelers are gone,you have the whole waterfall to yourself. It is was my favorite waterfall in Iceland. The food is good, the beds are clean, spend at least two nights there to truely enjoy the area.

Everything was good expect that they didn’t have a microwave. It sort of forces people to eat from thier restaurant. There is a Icd wear store next to the hotel where you can get hotdogs though.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel—everything was perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was truly outstanding. Every member of the staff was kind and helpful, but I especially want to thank Francisco for going above and beyond. His warmth, attentiveness, and care made our experience even more special. Thank you for making us feel so well taken care of!

We stayed here ten years ago and they’ve updated things. It's a great place right next to the waterfall. Gave us the opportunity to see it before all the tour buses came.
