We chose this hotel because it had a free shuttle to Blue Lagoon, had a cute spa area, and offered Gluten Free for breakfast. It was quite expensive, but thought it would be worth it for our one night. Well, it only offers the shuttle at the top of the hour, which was strange as it's a very short drive to the Blue Lagoon and it's a small hotel, so we were the only ones on the shuttle. Then, they stop shuttling people back at 9pm! The Lagoon closes at midnight in the summer, so we had to walk back (which was a 15 min walk-but again, we booked this place based on the shuttle). Also, you have to pay about 30$ extra per person to be able to use their spa! So, even though we spend over 550$ to sleep there, the small sauna wasn't accessible. And lastly, even though I confirmed upon check in that they had gluten free options, the breakfast attendant said they ran out of gluten free. So I had a hot tea and a piece of fruit for breakfast. Overall, it was a fine hotel, but very disappointing experience for us.
