The most expensive hotel on the Grand Ring Road. The breakfast and room are not much better than the 1k hotel we stayed in before, but the dinner is really unbeatable. We tried lamb chops, steak and prosecco (only one Italian one). There was no salmon that day, only another kind of fish, so we gave up the fish.
Across the road is a supermarket and a gas station. The shower room has floor heating, and the shampoo and conditioner are very useful.
There is a spiral staircase at the end of the corridor to see the scenery outside. The top floor has a glass roof, which is convenient for warming up and watching the aurora. They have an aurora wake-up service, just register at the front desk, but it was cloudy that day.
If you are looking for cost-effectiveness, you can choose to have dinner only at this restaurant. The gravy of their lamb is very delicious, recommended.

This is a hotel where you can choose not to stay, but you can't miss its delicious food. From the appetizer to the first course, the beef and lamb of the two main courses are cooked just right, and with the fresh local side dishes, they play beautiful music on your tongue. I strongly recommend that everyone who comes to Iceland must taste this restaurant [strong] [strong] [strong]. The lake view room I booked is not big, but the bath water is very powerful, which can wash away the fatigue of the journey. The hotel provides aurora wake-up service. At night, the aurora dances on the lake outside the hotel window. I just need to crawl from the bed to the window and stick my phone out of the window to take pictures of the exciting aurora [covering my face]. The next day, I left the hotel satisfied after having a fine breakfast. Everything is perfect.

The hotel itself was nice, good room and spa, the restaurant had good food. But the smell was HORRIBLE. Beware it smells very strong of sulphur outside the hotel and in the water. As soon as you turn on the sink or the shower, you get smacked with a horrible stench. And there was a loud screeching noise all night that was annoying. Other than that, the actual room is decent and the hotel staff was very nice.

Great view, great breakfast in a very beautiful town. The receptionist recommended the vök baths nearby and we had a blast going there at night.
