"Check in was very easy . It took perhaps 2 minutes! The receptionist was knowledgeable and appeared to be able to speak several languages. There is a beautiful view from the sitting areas near the bar. We took advantage of this and had some wine and enjoyed the view of the ocean, seals, mountains and waterfalls. The room was spacious. Bathroom was clean. The electrical outlets were a little difficult to get at. One outlet was located near the desk next to the windows, and I used this outlet to charge all my devices. I did not see any USB outlets so you will need to bring the appropriate chargers and cables for your devices. Some of the baseboard was missing, but this certainly was not a deal breaker. Definitely a romantic air to this hotel and surrounding countryside. Staff are wonderful, and appear to have varying backgrounds. It's a nice international flavor.
The wifi is pretty decent. I did hear one guest complain about the reception. I did measure their wifi reception as follows: Upload and download 45 MBPS in my room and in lobby and bar. It dropped to 5 MBPS in the first floor dining room. I still had decent reception about 10 feet outside the front entrance.
I think the advantage of this hotel is that it places you nearer to the National Park and surrounding areas. If you were to drive from Reykjavik and explore the area as a one day trip you wouldn't be able to enjoy the area and would be pressed for time. "
