Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's excellent location near the Blue Lagoon and airport, making it especially convenient for travelers with early flights. The staff is frequently described as friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is widely appreciated for its quality and early availability. However, some guests express dissatisfaction with the value for price, citing high costs compared to the quality offered. Additionally, the proximity to a geothermal plant results in occasional unpleasant sulfur smells and noise, which detracts from the overall experience for some visitors.
