I found the hotel design excellent! It felt very elegant. The location is perfect for visiting Jökulsárlón for boat tours and exploring Diamond Beach! The food served was also great. I enjoyed every meal.
I noticed the room felt too dark, and I requested extra lamps to brighten it. I wish they improved the light settings. This would make the room more comfortable during the evenings.

The hotel provided automatic night lights under the bed and in the bathroom. This was a thoughtful touch. High-end furniture gave the rooms a classy feel. The staff helped with suggestions for nearby activities (and bookings).
