Hotel Dengan Spa di Iceland Barat, Iceland

Very nice dinner and breakfast, clean and nice location for find northern lights.

Don't let the fact that this hotel is listed as a one star hotel put you off, I have stayed in 5 star hotels that are not as clean or welcoming. On arrival we received a friendly greeting, and although we were early we were able to go to our room. Although the rooms are not be biggest or packed with modern facilities, we again didn't need that. Who needs a TV when you have such stunning places to visit outside. As above the room was clean the beds were combatable, I asked for and received an extra pillow with no issues. The hotel is located close to the shops so provisions are not an issue and food can be cooked in the dining room, if you wish. We were there in off season so breakfast was not being served but a simple breakfast was provided in the mornings tea, coffee and hot chocolate all day. The sauna and hot tub were a great place to watch the northern lights. After a couple of days we were moved to a sea facing cabin, as we were staying a week again this was very clean and had the addition of a small kitchen and dining area. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily go back there.

The Hotel and the room was very nice. We arrived on Friday, after driving straight from work, to the Hotel at quarter to 6 pm. In our reservation we had a gift certificate for a 3 course meal. The reception said we had to hurry because dinner should start at 6pm. We asked if we could come a little later or maybe between 6.30 or 7 but the receptionist said NO, because then we would get our meal much later. We hurried up to our room and got dressed and went down to the restaurant. The restaurant was empty, we were the only ones there. We sat down and our starter came out within two minutes. When we hadn´t finished the waiter asked if we were done and we said wait a minute and tried to finish as quick as possible. When the waiter saw we had finished the starter she came and took our dishes and handed out the main course(straight away). It felt like they were trying to get o-us out of there as soon as possible. We took our time with the main course, it was obvious that our dinner had been made somewhere else or just earlier that day because it was just heated up for us and not cooked when ordered. When we got our dessert, at about 6:40, other hotel guests started arriving. Then we saw that they also had the same gift certificate and exactly the same meals. We found it strange why we had to hurry up to come down at 6pm and not everybody else. Sorry this service was not a good experience and the dinner just flat. This could have easily been a great experience if the service had been up to par with the room and look of the Hotel itself.

A new, modern, clean hotel. I absolutely LOVE the design of the hotel. Most of the hotels I stayed in Iceland were dated and tired, this one really stood apart. The room was roomy. There is a walk in shower. There is a floating shower wall, no door. So water got all over the bathroom floor. These floating shower glass walls are a new concept and cool in theory, but in use are not very practical. Toiletries are available in big squeeze bottles attached to the wall. There is no lotion, so make sure to bring your own. I absolutely loved the bathroom mirror with the sidelights. In fact, I loved it so much I will be looking to buy one for myself at home. There is a large vanity, so plenty of space for your stuff - which is not the case in the other hotels I stayed in Iceland. The room had a full length mirror, heavy dark black out curtains, safe, small fridge, hair dryer, tea and coffee kettle, spacious luggage bench which I loved, 2 chairs. There is an open concept closet. The lobby is cool. There is a little bar, and some nice couches so you can lounge and relax. The spa in the basement looks nice. I was only there one night, so didn't have time to utilize. There is a sauna and steam room for 2500IKR, and spa treatments available. There is a small church next door. Otherwise, it is in the middle of nowhere. You have no choice but to eat here or rent a car to go elsewhere. I had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. For dinner, I had cured salmon and spring mix appetizer, chicken breast with carrots, and chocolate mousse, and a red wine. It was pretty good. Breakfast was a buffet - salmon, meats & cheeses, some veg, skyr, 4 hot trays. The staff was very nice. Everyone I interacted with was helpful and friendly. CONS: location- can't walk to anything fridge - the fridge whined all night long so I didn't get a great sleep. I probably should have got out of bed and unplugged it. floating shower door - water all over bathroom floor without great drainage. no lotion I couldn't figure out the bed light switch, so had to get out of bed and try to find the master switch in the dark.

A wonderful hotel in a beautiful valley. The hotel dining room has a view of nearby mountains and a magnificent waterfall. There are also mineral baths on-site, including a cold pool and 4 pools of different temperatures. You may order beverages delivered poolside. The rooms are a nice size, with windows and doors that open to the outdoors. Linens and toiletries were high quality and the bed was comfortable. There were many delicious breakfast options - meats, fish, cheeses, fruits, juices, yogurts and breads. Dinner was a fabulous splurge. The scallop appetizer was incredible, the salads were large and full of fresh greens. Cocktails were well-balanced and delicious. We loved this hotel.

I spent 3 nights with my family here, quick and easy check in6, with lots of parking. It took around 2 hours to reach the hotel from Keflavic Airport due to a road closure with high winds, but we made it. The apartment had a double, a single, and a large sofa bed. It was always warm, with underfloor heating and a nice warm bathroom too. The kitchen was well equipped, as well as seating and a large TV. On the last night the skies were clear and there's not so much light pollution at the location so we enjoyed a glimpse of the green sky! I'd definitely recommend staying here as a base for touring if you've got your own transport.

The location is picturesque - literally beside a waterfall. Nice short hike within the compound after breakfast!

Nous avons fait le Check-in en autonome, car nous n’avons vu personne à notre arrivée, mais notre clé nous attendait. L’environnement du guesthouse est très calme. Nous avions une chambre spacieuse au 1er étage avec une très bonne literie et une belle vue sur la vallée. Notre salle de bain commune était très propre, comme l’ensemble du gîte. À noter que nous avions également un petit lavabo dans notre chambre. Le petit-déjeuner était vraiment quelconque en produits proposés et la personne qui s’occupait du service manquait de chaleur dans son accueil et avait perdu son sourire…peut-être un mauvais jour pour elle…dommage. De plus, nous manquions vraiment de place pour circuler autour des tables. C’est pour cette raison que je me suis limité à 4 étoiles dans mon jugement
