I woke up to a stunning view of a sheep farm and the top of waterfalls which was simply incredible. The room was very clean and comfy, and I loved the private bathroom with a wonderful shower. The highlight was the delicious full buffet breakfast in the morning. However, the room was a bit small, almost like being in Tokyo, and it seemed like it could use some refreshing.

The view of the sheep farm and waterfalls from the room was amazing. The cleanliness and comfort were top-notch. The private bathroom with a wonderful shower was a great touch. The only downside was the room feeling a bit cramped and tired, needing a refresh.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious and nice, offering breathtaking views across the valley to Skogafoss. The service, although provided by students gaining experience, was very professional and courteous. The location was fabulous, allowing round-the-clock access to the falls and close proximity to many attractions. The dining experience was delicious, although not catering well to certain dietary needs. Overall, a great spot to stay if you're in the area.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet, offering a beautiful panoramic view of the countryside. The hot tub at the end of the day was a fantastic way to relax. However, the room size was a bit smaller than expected, and the bathroom was quite tiny.

Staying at this hotel was a mixture of cozy comfort and some areas needing improvement. The rooms felt like a home with a lovely view of green fields, but the bathroom and vanity were small and not as clean as expected. However, they were quite spacious, making it a pleasant stay overall.
